All players have one problem in common and that is consistency.

Often a player will do well one day or even for a week or two and then suddenly their game has gone.

For the amateur player playing two or three times a week in his club or in league matches, there is not a lot he can do about it. Usually it is a case of waiting to see when his form returns again.

A professional has more time to sort out his game, but even so it is not as easy as you might think. Even among the top sixteen players in the world form can fluctuate and looking back over the last ten to fifteen years there are very few players who have performed well enough, often enough, to maintain their ranking position.

The player himself has only got a limited view of the shot he is playing. If he could stand aside and see someone else emulate just how he has gone about it, then he could appreciate more quickly what is needed to play the shot correctly.

For instance;

Has he / she got all the preliminaries right?

Is the length of the bridge correct?

Is the tip of the cue close to the spot on the cue ball that he/she intends to hit?

Is the cue level at all times?

Did he / she fail to get their eyes back on the object ball?

In some cases I have seen where the tip of the cue was never any nearer than two to three inches from the white ball, so what price the follow through?

Many times one or more of the basics will not have been carried out properly and a constant check is required to make sure everything is correct right through the shot.

Any minor fault can lead to a lack of consistency but it often requires an informed second opinion to firstly identify the flaw and secondly and most importantly, put it right.

Every player needs a coach, even the very best in the world. If you are struggling with your game make sure you obtain a second opinion and have someone view your play.
