Cue Action Critique

[poona]

Let me have it.

[poona]

1) I have noticed my grip is beyond 90 degrees
2) I think I could stay down on the shot longer after striking cue ball
3) I think I should slow down my final back swing.

Improvements have been good after 1 session with Tim Dunkley in Chandlers Ford a few weeks ago and 4 sessions with Andrew Highfield up in West Mids about 7 months ago.

Past two months have seen me hit 70, 78, 80, 88, 85 clearance, loads of 50s, 60s.

Your to good to do line up poona! If you put up a video of you doing a line up, next time do the reds sequentially. Its the only way to go..

[poona]

Haha, I was merely in for pre-match warm up mate.

[poona]

Just noticed took a blue after a pink!!!! HAAAA! I didn't even realise at time!

Oh, I just noticed your critic of 1,2 & 3 in the second post. I can only add maybe for 1,2,3 because that just maybe a style thing.. Its not easy to for me, to see any real issues technically, but you can see those when there's pressure on.

Put the match up!

Like that light were do you play?
Did you just do that line up, Is it live?

[poona]

Yeah just turned phone camera on and started potting really. Wasn't any pre-contrived idea. Just wanted to see how I was hitting them from a 3rd person view before my match tonight.

I play at St James' Bournemouth. The lights were my idea. The particular light was recommended on this very forum

The lights are great .We have them on a few tables at the club i play at .

Looks a nice club. What's volts and how many tubes are in the whole light?
Can you tape your match and put it up?

Not much of a player myself but noticed a few things in your action:

1. You need to move your cueing hand in a little as it's a bit too far down the cue.
2. You drop your back arm a little when cueing the ball and almost pull the cue back up and down again before getting the tip through the cue ball. It's hard to explain so sorry if I'm talking riddles, just ignore me lol.
3. Feather and pull the cue back very quickly, slowing that down might help.
4. Maybe try not to pull the cue back so far when you're about to cue through the white on final delivery when just playing little shots around the black spot etc.
5. Nice lights lol

Great player to be fair, if the way you cue works and you're consistently happy with your game then don't change it :snooker:

Looks like a really clear light for playing under..
You at Morden neil?

The lights are great .We have them on a few tables at the club i play at .

[poona]

Yeah it's a private club has #10 cloth just fitted and those bulbs are high frequency natural light. 2x6ft with two runs in each. Gives a night light distribution. They were brighter before on the table but we have raised them up another 12 inches or so for more clearance.

looks good to me, sound action, straight cueing.

can see the coaching influence which is great also
