Hello guys,
I've been working on my stance/stroke for about a year now. Went from classical pool stroke to classical (i.e. square on) snooker stance and back, rotated my elbows in/out, moved my hips inside/outside, and so on and so forth. But whatever I do, I can't get rid of accidental unwanted side spin.
What you see in the videos below is my stance as it feels natural and comfortable. It did change a lot from what felt natural to me before attempting to find a good stance/stroke combo. Unfortunately I don't have videos from back then.
This is from behind the shot line.

And this is from the side of the shot line.

What puzzles me is that I seem to pull the butt of the queue slightly to the right on the final backswing, which should lead to unintentional RIGHT hand side, but I constantly get unwanted LEFT hand side. While it may seem like a minor issue on this up-down drill, it's actually more attenuated in a match when I have other things to worry about (position, aiming, thinking shots ahead, etc.).
I would be very grateful if you could give me some hints on what I should change in order to get a true and straight stroke.
Thank you & all the best,
Fritz
