I like to get up in time to watch CBS This Morning at 7 am and try to get up by 6:30. If I have at least 20 minutes to kill, I'll get out the cue and balls and start hitting them. Due to a lower back problem I've found that if I don't force myself to get all the way down in my stance {chin on or near the cue} I tend to bobble medium to long shots a lot. I have a problem when I start to bend but when I'm all the way down it doesn't bother me. I just can't seem to deliver a good stroke if I'm more upright.
I had a problem some time back with back pain when I went into my stance and Sammy Jones pointed out that I wasn't as square to the shot as I should have been. Turning a bit more to the left and the pain went away.
All this proves to me, at least, that my stance has a lot to do with how I deliver the stroke. A looser grip on delivery helps me to not twist the cue, also.
