cue arm&shoulder

[j6uk]

yeah dropping the left hip automatically puts weight over your left support leg, turns the shoulders into the shot and frees up the cueing arm

all right mate good night.

Can't do anymore pictures tonight now. I think I'll have a go down the club again tomorrow. I'll start with the more traditional stance to begin with.

I've actually thought that maybe my problem is that I stand too close to the table. I've got almost all my weight on my right leg I think. I think that could be a cause of some of my problems.

Now I got it, you don't want to do the classic stance. In that case you can't do the perfect alignment without straining your shoulders and spine. You ought to begin with an exaggerated classic stance and gradually get it squared over years.

Can you post a photo in which your are facing the width of the table and aiming towards the length of it please.

Yeah I've seen that. I'll have a look now. Although he uses the old style stance in that video and I don't want to do that.

I looked for that Jack Karnehm video on YouTube , about the line of aim but I couldn't find it, I think it would help here, if anyone knows where it is, it shows him twisting his hips to get himself in the right position.

When did you face away from the shot mate? Even though you may feel facing away you actually don't. You don't need to pull your shoulder up that much if you just face really away from the shot.

I've been trying it for hours here. Tried exactly what you said, face the width of the table, then cue down the length of it. My shoulder is still popping out. It's absolutely bending my mind, it just looks so simple, but for some reason, I just can't do it.

PMSL!!!!!

I hadn't noticed my hair!

And no, it feels absolutely horrible to me. Everything hurts. I can't get it right. Even if I face totally away from the shot.

wear a different coloured top to your hair(piece) so we can see the shoulder behind your head(hair)
seriously though it does look better than before
question is it feeling comfortable or very strange to you?

You have moved the cue away from your body but still facing in the line of the cue. You must either face to the right or staying in the same position just point your cue to 10 O clock. You are still playing into 12 O clock direction.

Face to the width of the table and aim towards the length of the table.

You still face in the direction of the shot Ted. Do the position in the photo once more just point your cue to 10 O clock direction instead and move your elbow slightly out.
What you are doing wrong here is that you are still playing at 12 O clock and not across your chest.

Put in other words keep your position but play towards the length of the table.

Tried this extreme. Doesn't make any difference. I still look exactly like in that picture.
