Good Day All,
I've pinpointed an issue that I think is really hindering my progress,
I'm back practicing often after many years out of the game, things are going very well, I'd put myself around 650 fargo
I feel like I almost have two issues relative to acceleration/inability to push forward the cue with speed
one I suspect is physical,
i.e. physical inability to accelerate forward the cue quickly , easily noticeable on my break, so likely age related diminishing fast twitch ability, I have been compensating with more wrist flicking action at the expense of accuracy
second is Im guessing slight nerves/trepidation when shooting, almost slowing down do maintain accuracy on the right contact point on the cue ball, I need shorter punchier backswings and short bridge hand distance to cue ball to minimize this
The former via specific physical exercises seems a bit of an easier fix than the latter
interested in feedback please
