ay to all at az - first post ever after several years of reading and learning many pool related topics.
took my first ever formal lesson from a guy last summer. taught me foot alignment on shot, stance, etc..
anyway he did not say in exact words that the meat has to come put during the follow through. had i known this i would not have been miscuing 50x a week.

when i mean the meat i mean the part of the hand that is between the thumb and the index finger that "comes out" during follow through to finish of stroke. i think this may be referred to scientifically as ulnar deviation.
i have a minor collection of 9 ball matches from the 90's. usual suspects-archer, strickland, reyes, davenport, etc. every single one of them has the meat come out. is this the case with almost all pro to really good B players?
i've been practicing this meat routine lately, with better results but still way inconsistent. i think i'm on the right track. it seems that this meat routine has a timing procedure/process that i am trying to get a better grasp of. anybody here have any suggestions for me to get better timing down?
 
Wait, are you telling me that to be a good shooter the meat has to come out? :scratchhead:
 
Timing take time

Timing doesnt mean much to you unless you're ready to let the shot go by the time its time for the last stroke. If you can figure out a way to be ready to let go and have that itself in your shot routine then the pre strokes and the delivery will start to standardize and you will get a nice timing to your sequence and finish.
 
Kinda afraid to ask BUT: got any pics of this "meat comin out"? What exactly are you trying to show?
 
This is what happens if the meat comes out :
