hey guys, just wondering when you get down for a shot, should you lift or tense your shoulder, i mean the shoulder of the hand which you use to control the cue. i have watched some videos, some coaches mentioned that when you are down, you should lift your shoulder up a bit. while other coaches did not mention shoulder at all.

The right shoulder (grip arm shoulder) should be up as high as possible but without causing discomfort. The way to achieve this is to get the LEFT armpit down as low as possible by getting the bridge arm as straight as you can with just a slight bend and placing some weight on the LEFT ELBOW (along with the bridge hand) so that the left forearm is flat on the table and has weight on it.
The way to tell if you have it right is to cue directly into a mirror and at the address position you should not be able to see the shoulder as the head will be directly in front of it (unless you have unusually broad shoulders or are somewhat overweight).
