I have been struggling pocketing balls lately. I have been bouncing all over the place looking for answers. I FEEL like I am putting unintentional english on the CB because of a little 'swerve' around the time of impact where the tip of the cue veers a bit to the right. I have been allowing my right arm (stroke arm, Im right handed) to creep closer and closer into my body because I FELT like this was helping to straighten out my stroke.
Today during practice however, I moved my arm out considerably from my body. It felt a bit awakward but I pocketed every ball I looked at for 15 mins, and whitey was doing more of what I expect him to do. Of course, the new wore off, and I was unable to find this position again.
I am trying to get a live instructor to review my stroke, but I have a team tournament this weekend and I doubt I can get anything lined up before then. I don't really have access to video either. I am wondering if there are any drills I can do or anything I can read on this topic to try to work on it on my own. Something analogous to hitting golf balls with a towel under your arm or something.
Thanks in advance!
