Miscueing
Hello everyone,
I got a little problem of myself :).
Since I live in a country where Snooker is not a very popular sport,
it is very hard to find an oppurtunity for myself to get some training sessions.
Iam playing alot Snooker lately and I can see my progression over the time.
I have encountered a problem now where I could use the advice of an experienced Snooker player.
Some time ago i got comftable with my cueing action and my stance.
I mostly have a positive feeling when approaching the table now.
Though my cueing got 'relatively' consistent (at least the most consistent it ever was),
I kept missing easy pockets.
I realised my issue by practicing straight shots one day,
blue ball straight into the middle pocket. In order to perform a straight shot,
I had to alter my aim a bit to the right. At this point the shot was not straight anymore from my intuition.
Yet it was a perfectly straight shot every time.
Obviously this had nothing to do with my aiming but with my cueing action - I figured that after some sessions. I tried out various alterations on my grip, stance, head position, shoulder position, etc.
I have this problem for a while now and can see that Iam improving, but this still happens on around 50% of my shots. Especially on long shots i can clearly see that the cue ball is hitting more left than I actually aimed for.
Some time ago I asked a friend to make a video of myself. In slowmotion one can clearly see that I 'had' - and still have - a huge problem.
Now as I said, this improved already but still happens a reasonable amount of times. Does anyone have some tips for me how I can get onto the issue? Or is this something that will fix itself with time and practice?
This is frustrating me and I got a little desperate lately ;)
