Everyone, I posted some follow-up videos after working on your suggestions today, in a new thread:

the closer {to a point} you are to the target the easier it is to hit precisely
I would suggest experimenting with finding your perfect distance {from the cue ball} - this ends up being a personal choice {However} I must stress that it's essential to be the same distance EVERY TIME. I see this factor overlooked by even advanced players. And once you see them doing it you can predict their inconsistency.
If you're a different distance from the cue ball every time it's like shooting free throws with the foul line distance changing (without you "real eyesing it)....what do you think would happen to even the best free throw shooters? That's exactly right, they would have times they may miss the rim or actually "bank" one in.
Distance from the the target is important, and the closer {to a point} you are to the target the easier it is to hit precisely and accurately. This is "common sense," but not so commonly done.
Touch and Feel are directly related to the distance you are from the cue ball. I know I"m repeating this for emphasis because I see a chain of reactions happening in your stroke as a result of having to "reach" slightly for the cue ball.
Consistency is a choice in pool, you can stand a consistent distance, use a consistent shot speed and create angles in a consistent way......or not.......be at choice. :thumbup:

Nothing wrong with that...as long as the eyes are "quiet" when you shoot.
