    that is actually a very good guess

    Just need to even out the tangent lines in all directions - find the nearest point to the bottom of the stairs try to keep the line with what's left in my dominant eyes up the stairs before I collapse horizontal on the bed.

      I actually tried a similar thng earlier...
      Everythng is ok until i get down to the shot...when i get confused which point is centre
      I used to see the highest point of cueball n then cued below according to the shot
      But however i still give side and am always cutting the shots to the left thin...

          That table is incredibly slow by the looks of it.

              From what I could see your cue is at a too steep angle so you need to bend your left leg more and also swing your hips a little more to the left. I also noticed some upper body movement on a lot of shots. I didn't see any shots where I could see your grip hand and arm so not sure how your alignment is on those.

                    Nothing silly about the glove at all, you obviously live in a hot, humid country and the glove completely eliminates sticky cue.

                    I agree with Terry, when playing screw shots you don't have the cue low enough to the table and are striking down on the cue ball, you don't when playing top spin shots, so don't raise the cue to strike the bottom of the cue ball, instead lower your bridge hand and keep the cue as low to the table as you do on top spin shots.
                    When striking down any deviation from centre ball striking results in a mini swerve shot, so avoid striking down as much as possible.

                    A nice old billiard table with the brass pocket rails on top of the wood surround, we have a table like that in our league, very tight middles as I could tell from the picture; I would guess that the corner pockets are pretty tight as well so don't get down too much about only having top breaks in the 50's, you're at a disadvantge using old equipment with tighter pockets than modern tables, but persevere and practise hard as you have the technique to get a lot better.

                      loads of potential there rud, i really like your first pause at the white and the way your cue stops straight on shot completion, all looks very natural. many good playrs would like to have that in their game.
                      i could see you droping down lower to the table maybe by widening your stance, slowing down the back an front swing an maybe bending the bridge arm a little. i think the getting lower will come in time as you improve
                      good to watch, keep it up

                      • Yeah the temperature exceeds 45 degrees in summer and the cue creates bruises...so the glove is a necessity...

                              What, you don't think the butt of his cue is too high? Even vmax and j6 agree so you are a minority of one.

                              • No air conditioning with those temperatures? I couldn't play at 45C, I would be in the pool or basement.
