I do put points first, but I feel like I have to choose between hitting a straight line into these points or using my shoulder. I feel like I can't do both when I try to be accurate.

I think you are over thinking the shoulder part. As long as the elbow is not on the table and not restricting your shoulder, a strait line is a combination of the movement of the elbow and the shoulder. The wrist shouldn't do much though. Don't go locking in your elbow and making your arm stiff. After that, focus on making a strait line, and your body will do the rest. I hope that helps you
