How to drop yo head into position?

[CJ Kumz213]

Hey people I seem to be having some alignment issues. Especially to do with my head dropping down.. So issue is when I drop down I find that my grip is behind the vertical. Not sure but I think I'm dropping my head forward or something hence the body is falling forward.. How can I cure this

Maybe you don't need to.

Mark Williams/Jamie Cope lean forwards rather then across and they can make centuries with the best of them!

Personally, I lean forwards rather then across as it feels more natural and less contorted.

Look in my signature where Steve Davis discusses this very topic in great detail.

Just move your grip to vertical by choking up a bit more on the cue. Leaning into the shot a bit is not really a bad thing unless you over-do it

Very interesting article you gat there. Seems to make sense now. Think the most important thing is to drop the head straight down and make sure the grip and lands vertical... Thanks a lot. What are your thoughts over having a chest contact point??

Thanks Terry. So this means when I'm down on the shot, right? I'm going to try that out when I have my next session.. Another issue I have is what to do with the back three fingers. I understand from most of your posts that you recommend holding the cue in between the thumb and forefinger, but is this with the thumb and forefinger knuckles or with the pads of both??

Personally I used to always try and get a chest connection point, but nowadays I forget about that, as it's not something you should be thinking about when playing. Sub consciously you will start doing it if you need to. A nice calm small stroke is more important imo then a chest connection point.

Thanks will keep that in mind
