didn't really notice an excessive ammount of side travel on your stroke, you get your shoulder in action alot...seems to be part of your preshot routine...something you do that keeps you loose. When your stroking the cue on your warmups that shoulder is moving up/down and is making your stroke do a figure 8....but thats up and down not side to side.


Your trying to warm up/pratice swing one way and then looking to produce something straighter vertically & horizontally....but the habit is carrying over into your delivery i'm sure more often than not.

You have a big back swing, you could try shortening the Backswing....but your finish and tip penetration through the CB would still be normal length. If you pull back and it fish tails then your more than likely to fish tail at the same place on the forward delivery.

Watch that your not firming up your grip, chances are you are...as the tighter grip has a tendency to link the forarm and upperarm with the shoulder, as opposed the forearm working independently from the upperarm and shoulder.

When it comes to the Grip, just stop calling it a Grip. Start calling it the CRADLE, the cue just sits there held by its own weight....the fingers are just there to keep the cue from falling out the cradle it is not necessary to apply any pressure. Just calling it a different name can have a great affect as to how you go about applying it.

When you hold a baby you don't squeeze the little guy, your arms are just there to keep him from falling and thats it....if you squeeze then he's going to let out a shrill cry.
