Switched back from LD; now what?

Im in the same boat.

After a few weeks practicing over and over with a standard shaft, my guideline for aiming is however far away from center ball your english is, adjust the same distance from the intended contact point.

Some shots may need more or less adjustment but in general, this works for me on most shots. Hope this helps

I switched to a traditional shaft recently, after years with LD (did use traditional before that, but years ago).

So...now shots involving extreme left or right English are missing. For example, long cut shots where OB is on the short rail. Now, I seem to driving the OB into the rail. I think the increased deflection is messing me up.

Any tips?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass or a troll of some kind, I genuinely would like to know...why would you switch to a cue that makes you play worse? I don't know much about cues but is it because the new cue you bought has a great feeling hit that you're willing to invest time to get accustomed to it? Or what advantage will it have over your current cue once you've re-adjusted your stroke to it?

Ah man this game is nuts, i was doing everything from analyzing effects of three year wear on my shaft to getting into the nitty gritty on its tenon. The cuemaker section was awesome for being helpful. Turns out some of the problems had to do with my wrist on my stroke. All you have to do is pay attention to what's happening in your shots, make adjustments, don't focus on ld/non ld, you will be fine

Exactly, find a custom maker that has a easy pin to fit an LD shaft, or at least send the maker a partial LD shaft that can be fitted to the new cue. Thus, no worries. Don't work for the cue, make the cue work for you
