Stance Practice
After spending a long time feeling uncomfortable on the shot and unable to see the shot line while at address, and trying (but failing) to fix this with changes to my grip, stroke, or visualization, I have made some adjustments to my stance.
Moving my lead foot to the left and getting my body out of the way allows me to feel more comfortable on the shot, cue straighter and avoid steering, and to be more consistent with my execution.
Here's a quick practice session being more deliberate with my stance to help build some muscle memory and reinforce the benefits of this change.

      @@tibojones I'm not a professional. I'm a decent amateur. My best title so far is 2022 APA National Poolplayers Championship Nineball Shootout (black tier), and competing in this year's US Amateur Championship in November. I switched from Ash / Maple to Carbon Fiber because I prefer to have a consistent low deflection shaft that is replaceable with a near exact counterpart so I don't need to worry about adapting to a new cue if it ever got damaged or warped etc. I also like the fact that I can carry duplicate shafts with a worn in tip pre installed to swap out mid tournament if anything should damage the tip etc. What do you see wrong with my technique specifically that you feel needs to be improved to warrant using carbon fiber?
