If you are shooting for a classic shape, you missed. It's not a good billiard if you are using the English/Irish tradition as a model. Straighter lines and no dip of the bowl below the bottom line of the shank would be the main.

However, I think the shape is good and I think the thing works as a whole. A little more definition on your shank/bowl would still be helpful in refining the shape, but I reckon the slight bulge in the shank/stem works against the rest of the shape.
