    bent leg after back disk surgery

    Hello i am new to this forum and i hope i get some help here and make some friends

    I have been playing snooker for maybe 7-8 years on and off . i am 28 years old.
    I think i never had this alignment issue before i injured my back but 5 years ago i did a back surgery and after that i have been having this extreamly bad alignment issue not sure if its my body weight but i am right now doubting my right leg which is alittle bent like ronnie ( i am right hand player). no matter what stance i choose, how wide i stand, how boxer or square style the butt of cue is always to the left.

    now my back is fine but i dont know what bad habbit i got used to after my back surgery , which was 5 years ago.

    the only thing i can detect is my right leg is abit bent. btw the other think i can think of is also that my cue is very paralel to the table , and the cue position that touches the chest area is below nipple. i watched some pros like neil robertson his grip hand is very close to his armpit and his grip hand is very high. i tried to copy this but this way my grip arm goes very high and bridge hand goes very low and then i put lots of left hand side and i get the opposite alignment problem.


    i dont know how to fix this alignment issue
    i really need help from someone!

    thank you btw for this nice forum

    Bit too complicated an issue (for me anyway) to comment on mate. Obvious answer is go seek a one to one with a coach.

      Set up a dead straight shot into a corner pocket along a line from the middle pocket that would be under your grip hand. Get down into your stance and get someone to photograph you from directly in front, directly behind and from the side (cue arm) and post the pictures to give us a clue. It would help to place a length of masking tape along the cloth from the centre of the corner pocket to the centre of the middle pocket to get an idea of where the butt of the cue actually lies in relation to the line of aim.
      Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
      but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair

        thank you, unfortunately i could not find anyone in the club to take my photo, i lined up my cue with baulk line to show where the butt ends. i do bring my chest to the cue, but as i feature the cue ends up to the same left chalk.

        i took my own photo using mobile

        trying to attach the pic here but it says not authorized to attack photo
        i uploaded to imgbb picture

          "edit"
          forgot to mention that if i force the cue to stay in the middle of baulk line even during or after featuring, it will look to me that i am hitting to left of object ball and not the centre of target. and once i deliver i end up hitting the left of object as i thought, and this is why my brain keep bringing the cue to the left so the shot looks online to me. if i force the cue to stay in the middle of pocket and everything is linedup perfect.
          i see something like this " this is how i see a straight shot"

          this shot is dead straight in the centre pocket with the cue right in the middle of pocket. but this photo is how i see a straight shot all the time

            We can't see if the whole of the cue is on the line of aim as most of it is beyond the table, we can't see where the cue lies in relation to your eyes, we need a side on view to determine if your grip hand is forward, back or dead on the vertical from elbow to floor at address.
            Once again, straight shot into a corner pocket from the centre of a middle pocket with your grip hand directly above the middle pocket, pictures from front, rear and side view with masking tape on the line of aim if you can, otherwise we'll only be guessing that what you say is correct and that your hand/eye co-ordination is different from everyone elses and this is something that I for one don't believe in.

            I believe that sighting issues are cause by a poor stance that doesn't put the whole of the cue on the line of aim, human hand/eye co-ordination is pretty much faultless unless one overides it and this is probably what you're subconsciously doing because of your back surgery and back surgery doesn't effect ones eyes.
