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
 
no you are likely getting tighter and need to loosen up.

and more wrist does not lead to accuracy issues unless you make it become one.

Try focusing on carrying the cue through the cueball rather than trying to push it through or into the cb.
