Yes not sure what I do and this can vary from player to player as regards the stance they adopt -see Barry Pinches- - no seriously don't do that as for weight distribution hard to judge but I think Terry is generally right here -

I am glad some of this advice has worked for you and hope you enjoy your snooker more - tc

"To stop me over gripping or turning the wrist I sometimes point my first finger out and down on a long shot - try it"
Alex Higgins used to do that.

There are some ways to stabilize the wrist and probably the most common one is the 'wrist cock' which has a player turning the wrist joint out so the back of the grip hand is nearly parallel to the floor. Just remember not to force it so that you get discomfort.
The other way is to have the wrist hang down naturally. To 'get' this just drop your arm down beside your leg (without a cue) and close the grip by making a fist. That is how it should look when there's a cue in the grip and this is most likely the best thing for any player rather than an unnatural wrist cock.
With the natural drop try cueing slowly along the baulkline, watching the tip of the cue to see if it wanders and concentrate on keeping the wrist joint the same throughout the feathers, backswing and delivery.

Another thread, where once the OP has read everything here, he won't be able to pot a ball.
