Stroke question

[JdoubleR]

I've been fighting this problem for months. It involves dropping my shoulder ( stroke arm ) as I am stroking through the ball which causes me to come across the cue ball. I don't do it all the time but I do notice it happens more often when I have to power stroke. Is there some physical or mental key I can use to stop doing this? Any help greatly appreciated.

if you do a search on "drop shoulder" i'd imagine you'd get a days worth of reading. the shooters i see doing it also does it 'sideways' trying to direct the CB while stroking thru. seems to me to be a thing of practice. put a beer bottle about a mens shoe away from the tip of your stick; mind you, not your gina. but for your own best, do use a mirror pond from deschutes or an ipa from ell river brewing company. have >5 on stand-by and go at it til you hit nothing but air.
