  • Need advice on becoming consistent

    Posting a video of me doing the line up. Do you see anything in my technique that I can improve upon?
    Why do you think I'm missing the easy shots ? Is my body ok ? Cue arm? Bridge? Cue action? Am I getting thru properly ?
    Any observations would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏
    This table is very very tight and has northern championship rubber along with superfine cloth (under a month old). Very reactive.

      Nice set up you have there. How to stop missing easy ones is The Holy Grail. If you find the answer please post up. Loads of folk on here want the answer lol.

        The positioin of your cue arm/grip hand at the address point is forward of vertical and you're moving your upper arm even on your feathers thus playing from the shoulder joint instead of the elbow joint on point of contact with the cue ball.

        Hold the cue right on the end and keep your bridge to cue ball length the same to bring your cue arm/grip hand address point slightly behind vertical so that you don't move your upper arm and only deliver the cue from the elbow.

        The shoulder joint is a universal joint that enables the upper arm to move in any direction so the cue will go offline when using the shoulder joint to deliver the cue especially when your elbow isn't on the line of aim which is the case with most players, even Ronnie who drops his upper arm after contact with the cue ball.

        The elbow joint is a hinge joint and can only move the forearm forwards and backwards, the upper arm must only drop after the cue ball has been struck as part of a natural follow through when playing with power.
        Watch Judd Trump and Neil Robertson, they both keep their upper arm high after their delivery stroke and don't drop the upper arm except when using extreme power.

        Chin on cue stance will lock the shoulder joint, keep it locked, lock the wrist, fingers loose and move the cue forwards and backwards only from the elbow joint. Practise, practise, practise until it becomes habit.
