How many of you have the cue gently pressing against your side/chest area while stroking? (My right nipple area to be specific) I recently video'd myself shooting, and saw that I have a wobbly stroke. Oddly enough, i played pretty good with it, can stroke deep into a water bottle without touching anything etc. I just did a lesson with an instructor, and he noticed that my stroke arm is cocked inward, resulting in the wobble. But it also results in the cue rubbing my side, which i use as a guide to keep it steady. He said the cue should not touch my body, and to make sure my stroke arm is out far enough that it doesnt. I tried it tonight, and i absolutely cannot shoot like that. It feels extremely wobbly and unsteady. I know many people use their chins to accomplish the same thing, but I cant get that low on the stick. It throws my perception off. My head sits a few inches above the cue. So, what i tried is making sure my stroke arm is out more away from my side like the instructor said, and then adjusting my stance, rather than my stroke arm, to make the cue hug my side. That seems to be something i can work on to enable me to use my chest to guide the cue. Does anyone relate to this?
