Billy Bob,
Anytime a shooter learns to shoot "across the body", i.e. separating your chest with your cue, is THE WRONG WAY to be shooting and this style will inhibit your chances of furthering her momentum, even if it does bring you homestyle boys some entertainment.
Stop now and get this woman to a BCA certified instructor or a local Pro that is certified to give professional lessons.
I learned on my own in my beginning from what I saw on tv. They played with very poor form in the early 90s andd it wasn't until I met up with Dawn Hopkins that I knew how to stroke alongside of my body and not across it. It's a truer and straighter stroke. It's also what the BCA Iinstructors teach. It took me 6 years to unlearn what was wrong. Don't do this to this woman!

The question of teaching her the proper stance came up...
Well actually this is a problem with her as she has big boobs which get in the way if she stands at a 45 degree angle.
I didn't know what to tell her about how to stand due to this problem, so I concentrated on getting her stroke and follow through to be straight and told her to stand however she must to get the cue to go in a straight line.
So I watch her hits and what the tip/shaft is doing (making sure it is going in a straight line, has follow through, and is pointing at where she was aiming after the hit).
Any suggestions?
