dont know why you only showing small part of your body. too much movement/elevation. and whats the obsession with backspin? play it plain ball to see how u naturally strike the ball

[marcoboy102]

sorry about that...
but ok next vid i hit plain ball and for the "why show small part body thing"
i did that cuz i used my iphone and kinda rested it somewhere
so i couldnt get my whole body
anyways

how can i stop the elevation/movement???
cheers

Your head came up as you struck the ball. You seem to be scooping the ball a bit too, as in your cueing down on the ball with an elevated cue and as you go through the ball the tip is rising so you finish higher up.

Take a step back, asses the shot, take two steps into your stance and try to keep your head still down on the shot until the object ball enters the pocket.

Really need a better video of you taking a few balls with the stance included.

in hitting plain ball i would assume that your cue is more or less parallel to the table. now when you are striking lower, its not parralel because you are trying to get in more. try stay parallel hitting the lowest part of the cueball possible without chipping the ball and thats a start to solving the elevation problem

thanks heaps guys~~
i'll chuck a clip again when i finish my exams

as other fellas says, try make your cue parallel when you make shots. and IMO, your cue action is a bit hasty. next time, at least let us see your cueing arm.

PS are you from China?

[marcoboy102]

u mean parallel as in the cue to the table????
and im from hk
cheers anyways dude
i will improve on it

You spend too much time chalking, almost half of the video was with you standing there chalking. Can you show us more of your whole form and body and hit a few balls perhaps, not just one.
Something just does not look right with the way you deliver your cue.
But it is hard to tell if you do not show us your grip, and form.

[marcoboy102]

ummm cant really get my whole body in the video cuz im using an iphone
and no1 is gunna hold it ..
i try and show my grip and form in the next vid
thanks anyways poolqjunkie~~

yes, whatever shot you try to play, top spin or back spin, make sure the cue is parallel as the table.

from what i can see looking at both videos is that you dont seem to be timing the ball that well. Also you seem to have "no pause" on the final backswing and that is why you dont seem to be getting through the ball as much as you would like.

[brocutie]

I dont think a pause is compulsory to getting through the ball. it seems more stopping the cue on impact with the cueball

No it's not compulsory, but i just think it would help.

[RGCirencester]

Its not compulsory but I think the majorority of pros have at least a rear pause.
