    Thanks alot for everyone for their advice, its all noted down.

    I've been working on my technique still, mainly cementing the forefinger grip and straighter bridge hand (i think i mentioned this before). As well as making sure i remain dead still. I equalled my highest long blue record AGAIN with 8/10, and AGAIN 6 out of 6 at one stage. I bottled it on the 7th!!

    But i'll keep trying and i hope one day i'll be able to make 10/10.

    As well as this, im also doing simple line ups to ingrain the technique into a variety of shots. It's hard, sometimes i find myself forgetting to glance down at the cue ball during my front pause.

    I've naturally had a front pause, but never used to use it for its purpose till a few months ago. But i still sometimes forget to look down and make sure im addressing where i want.

    Incidently, i'm playing a small summer league event in my local club, where most of the locals will play eachother once over 4 frames, and each frame that is won is one point. After 4 games i am currently on 8 points. It is handicapped and there are only 2 players that need to give me a start, so most of the time i am the one giving a start. There's only been two breaks over 30 at the moment (poor standard!) a 49 by the favourite, and a 38 by me in my last match.

    But with all the regular match practice and hard work i am doing on my technique, i hope i can start to improve rapidly and gain some confidence i've never had before.

      Stjimmy. You have a very nice cue action and drive through the ball. I do think I can see one issue that may be causing you issues with the straightness of your cue delivery. When you are stepping into the shot your right foot looks to be either parallel with your left foot or even slightly behind it (In trying to obtain a really square stance you may have over exagerated the square stance over time). This is causing your shoulders to become slightly more square onto the shot, which can cause the cue not to be delivered 100% straight through the ball every time. Try bringing your right foot forward slightly (so the heal is about in line with the middle of you left foot). I really think this could help you alot. Your smooth action and drive looks very effective.
