Help needed with 10" Dob

Hi all,
Just having a little trouble with the focuser, (i think), On my 10" Skywatcher Dob. It is working fine with the 25mm eyepiece and the 32mm eyepiece I have. I am able to focus in fine with those, even with the Barlow Lens I have. But when it comes to the 10mm eyepiece trouble is brewing.

I cant get it to focus properly, Im either too far one way or the other, which gets quite annoying when looking at Jupiter and star clusters.

Is it just me or the focuser or is the 10mm just a bit too powerful for the scope?
I have seen focusers which have a smaller knob on them to do a fine focus. Is that all I need?

Any advice is good advice here
Thanks
