Snatchy/jerky cue action.

Light grip all the way through, stroke every shot don't over hit them.

Set up some easy practice routines , s few nice medium length straight Potts and practicing clearing the. colours in different ways .I find in practice the radio on always helps , or in the club ear buds ,stops you thinking of things you don’t need to be thinking about .In golf say ,which is the same thing ,saying your not going to shank the ball or put it in the lake is a negative thought still ,it’s positive to say I’m going to play a nice draw and drop the ball left side of the pin .Trying not to do something is fatal .Always think what you want to do not what you don’t want to do .I had the shanks years ago ,so bad I gave the game up for nearly a year , I naturally draw the ball so a shank is never too far away ,I do pipe one on the odd occasion still but I never dwell on it now .Snooker is no different both bloody hard frustrating games

Thanks for the advise.. Will start working on it.

I have recently started playing snooker after a 10 year break. Earlier I used to clean up the open balls by judging whether to stop on right or left of the next ball so that I could be able to stop my cue ball on either side of the 3rd ball. Regular 40-50 breaks with an odd 70+ break in a week when the reds were open nicely.
The problem now that I have noticed is that my action is switching between smooth and snatchy between shots which makes me miss the easiest of shots. I never had snatch in my action before.
Any tips on how I remove the snatch/jerk? Any exercises or routines?
I currently am playing 2 days a week.
