    Hi there,

    I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I am having with my cue action.

    A friend of mine noticed that on a dead straight long range blue that my cue was pointing way off line. With a poor cue action I somehow potted the blue.

    I have been working hard lately to learn to aim my cue better but with very little success.

    When my cue is aiming correctly it feels like I am aiming anywhere but correctly and I have absolutely no chance of potting the object ball.

    I need outside feedback such as a friend or a mirror to tell me if I am aiming correctly as I have absolutely no idea where straight is.

    I thought this feeling would pass but no sign so far.

    I may be making a school boy error, I am right eye dominant but cue directly under the centre of my chin.

    I've tried under my right eye but it felt awful.

    Is this something I should try again?

    Any help regarding this matter would be great.

    Have you triedadjusting the cue ever so slightly towards your right eye? Just a small change might help.

    And have you tried using topspin and following the blue into the pocket with the white from the long straight blue position as this really is a test of whether you are cueing straight.

      or you could place a red either side of the blue ball 3mm gap each side from the blue then take the blue away...... hit the cue ball off the brown spot through the gap.... hit top cush and come back through the gap!!

      mmmm does that make sense??? well i do it if i think i'm cueing round corners anyway, works for me
      just coz i'm from essex i dont wear white socks or drive an escort!!! alright
