I have a flaw that I cannot find a solution to. Help needed!

Hi people,

Thanks for the reply. The dilemma I have is this; if I have a flaw in my game I don't want to introduce another flaw to cancel the first flaw out. I really don't want to go down that path but at the moment it appear to work.

I have been thinking that maybe the cue isn't perfectly aligned to the shot. Maybe it is pointing slightly to the right. If it is then the adjustment would be miniscule; probably not even a millimetre. I am a very good potter and in practice I don't usually miss; when I do the ball hits the left side of the pocket in exactly the same place; it is consistent.

Unfortunately I copied Ronnie O'Sullivan's style when I first started playing; from his stance, grip, arms, feathering, how he drops his arm, everything. It is the only way I know to play the game and I don't think I can change the way I play. I have managed to score several centuries in practice so I'm not doing too bad in all honesty. I feel I could be far more consistent if I were to remove this flaw I have. Does anybody have any ideas apart from the few I have mentioned? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Lee.

Hi Lee my standard of play is no where near yours but I am suffering from the same problem,recently I tried lifting my chest off the cue slightly and this produced a substantial improvement in my long pots.
I am am also working on cocking my wrist to varying degrees and this is also delivering encouraging results.
Hope this helps.
