anyone for that matter can tell me how I can work on this shoot me a message.
You have more to work on than just stroke. Trust me though, you aren't the worst on here for sure though. And one thing for sure is that no matter how good people are now, at one point every single one of them without exception were worse than you.
Here are a few of the things I noticed that I think are really having a detrimental effect on your performance:
-You sometimes adjust your aim while you are down on your shot, and not always minor adjustments either, but even some very major ones. When you get down on your shot, if your stick is not naturally pointed
exactly where you want to aim, get back up and readjust your feet position and then get back down again. If your stick still isn't pointed
perfectly, get back up and do it again until it is. A good rule of thumb is if you have to move the butt of your cue to the left or right
even a little bit once you are down on your shot (or if you are too close or too far from your shot) you should get back up and readjust your position (feet). You will never, ever be very accurate until you learn to do this. Trying to stroke in a different direction than the one the cue naturally wants to point in never works well and is fraught with perils.
-You aren't taking enough practice strokes. You generally take either one or two practice strokes and then fire. Start taking a
minimum of three practice strokes before shooting. Some shots will require more than three. You will know when to shoot when you know you are going to have a nice relaxed confident stroke, have visualized the shot perfectly, have aimed perfectly, and are grooved to hit the shot at exactly the right speed. Sometimes three practice strokes is enough for all of that on the easiest of shots, and occasionally it may take even eight or ten practice strokes on the most difficult of shots. Anything less than three and you just aren't bearing down enough and careless errors will happen,
and often.
-You often poke or jab the cue ball, particularly on shots that require a lot of speed. You want to stroke smoothly, meaning you accelerate your swing much more gradually. For example, lets say you are bridging ten inches from the cue ball, and will have a ten inch stroke on that particular shot, and you want to hit the shot at ten miles per hour. Right now you are trying to go from zero mph (at the back of your back swing) to ten mph all in the first inch of your swing. You are trying to get up to speed instantaneously, and there is no way to do that without jerking the cue off of your aim line. Instead, you should be doing something closer to this. At the first inch of your swing you are at one mph, and at two mph by the second inch, and at three mph by the third inch, four mph at the fourth inch, etc, until you are at ten mph after ten inches just as you are hitting and accelerating through through the cue ball. Those numbers may not be exactly right, maybe you hit the full ten mph around the eight inch point or so, but the point is and what is important is that your acceleration and stroke should be smooth, and the only way to be smooth is to not try to get up to full speed quite so fast. A little more gradual acceleration will smooth things out, and one of the best ways to do this is to just relax your arm a little more. Extremely difficult to accelerate gradually and have a smooth stroke with a tense arm. Relax.
One thing you do really well is staying down on your shot and staying pretty still throughout the shot. That is nearly unheard of at your skill level, and there are plenty of really good players that struggle with this too. It can be one of the toughest habits to break (and one of the things that causes the most problems and misses) and you are doing pretty good in that department so keep up the staying down on the shot like you do.
