I hope this gets answered as it's basically regarding my stance on a pool table. I look fine on a snooker table but on a pool table.

Any suggestions I'm 5ft 10.

Hunching up is pretty indicative of standing to close to the shot. One thing that I'm currently working on#jeSuisMasterBlasterBarryWhite2v1977Luclex(andHisF ictiousTwin)BigSplash!

Thank you for the replys will definitely try and adjust my feet a tiny bit further back and also fantastic point about hand position maybe consciously look at placing my bridge hand a tiny bit further back and see how it goes! Will go my pool hall tomorrow and get back to you nervous I am going to miss everything at first getting used to a new position
