Welcome to the boards Jason. :smile:
Thanks everyone for the welcome... I belong to a couple of car forums and they're a bit more colorful with new members haha.
My buddy Justin Daniels showed me a drill where you start out like a few of you suggested with 3 balls and work your way up to four and five and so-on, only you just use high english (but no extreme english) which has helped my game out a lot in position using the cushions instead of stop or draw...
What I'm really intrigued about is draw and force follow when using maybe a half of a tip of english and I believe that has all to do with stroke... I stumbled upon it when I thought I didn't address the cue ball properly and drew half the length of the table with a medium stroke but I have yet to do it again probably because I think too much about it now... Justin showed me a couple shots with 1/2 tip english that completely blew my mind like it was voodoo or witchcraft haha but he's been playing for decades.
So yeah... my plan for this year has been to study 1/2 tip without extreme english and play the natural angles as much as possible. I'm hoping that with forcing myself to not go beyond 1/2 tip my stroke will in effect come out with better results in the longer run as I'll be attempting draw and force follow shots with 1/2 tip. (?) I'll of course reward myself with super draw shots when I'm messing around.
I guess a way to explain my logic is to compare it to driving techniques like when attempting threshold braking... so instead of trying to brake from 120-0 on a dry surface learn to brake from 50mph on a wet/slick surface... so in effect you're learning the same braking techniques only you're less likely to kill yourself in the process... just like instead of practicing drawing two lengths of a table with a near miss-cue type shot you instead use little english because it is much more manageable.
