    dont know why you only showing small part of your body. too much movement/elevation. and whats the obsession with backspin? play it plain ball to see how u naturally strike the ball

    Your head came up as you struck the ball. You seem to be scooping the ball a bit too, as in your cueing down on the ball with an elevated cue and as you go through the ball the tip is rising so you finish higher up.

    Take a step back, asses the shot, take two steps into your stance and try to keep your head still down on the shot until the object ball enters the pocket.

    Really need a better video of you taking a few balls with the stance included.

    in hitting plain ball i would assume that your cue is more or less parallel to the table. now when you are striking lower, its not parralel because you are trying to get in more. try stay parallel hitting the lowest part of the cueball possible without chipping the ball and thats a start to solving the elevation problem

    as other fellas says, try make your cue parallel when you make shots. and IMO, your cue action is a bit hasty. next time, at least let us see your cueing arm.

    You spend too much time chalking, almost half of the video was with you standing there chalking. Can you show us more of your whole form and body and hit a few balls perhaps, not just one.
    Something just does not look right with the way you deliver your cue.
    But it is hard to tell if you do not show us your grip, and form.
