Minor cue adjustment. All the difference! I've now played 5 months on the snooker table that came with the house.  I mostly play 8 ball...some snooker.. and make up fun challenges for a half hour or so each day.

I'm up to a 3/10 in skill level.

My biggest revelation to date is that I have found that 'eye to mind' is an issue. I practiced and practiced improving technique (it helped) but something was missing.  I then recently discovered the last piece of my personal 'quirk'. When all set up I now adjust the cue tip on every shot just a 'fraction' to the right on the cue ball...I sink literally a third more shots. (I'm left handed). This is no more than an  eighth of a cue tip if even that.

Anyways, Its been a revelation how our hand and eye sending a message to the brain can influence 'the detail' of what we see on the table and how it needs to be recognized ( at least in my case).  The shots I think 'that should have gone in' are now going in.
