best snooker channel ive found ,every time i watch a vid its like blocks of logic are falling into place and it all makes sense and thats all down to your clear presentation skills
Thanks a lot. Really great to help and thanks for commenting 👍👍
Hello Barton, please make more videos like this
This helps to understand fix patterns of common shots
Another brilliantly illustrated & simply explained clip on the intricacies of using side on the cue ball, in order to enhance one's positional play. Thanks 👌👍👏 coach.
Such a good lesson again, thank you! Can't wait to try this in the snooker club.
Useful and really pratical.
Several times you need such shots.
Just the compensation for such side spin is the difficult part.
Thank you Barton for such great lessons!
I just love this channel! Thank you for the well explained videos.
Absolutely helpful video sir!
Another great piece of work. Excellent video!
Working through each shot was very helpful and illuminating. Thanks!
Thankyou Steve . I follow your channel regularly . Big fan .
Very good lesson on how to handle side spin. More than anything else the manner which you explain is easy listening and I believe this skillset alone will endear your videos to a much wider audience. Congratulations.
Very good demonstration on the use of side explained so clearly thank you that
I've never played snooker, and I still enjoy your videos. A lot of what you explain is very useful for beginner-level pool players (reminds me of early Dr Dave Billiards videos), and I think you're actually one of the better instructional pool UA-cam content creators, despite never making videos about pool. I'll always recommend your channel to beginning pool players (and if I ever meet beginning snooker players here in the US). Thank you for everything you do to teach people the fundamentals of cue games!
Hi Paul. Thanks so much for following and also for you positive feedback. It's great to know that people do find the videos helpful and I really appreciate your support and recommendations 👍👍😃
True
Thanks for your comment mate. I watch snooker content from New Zealand, predominately a pool and pub pool playing country. I fell in love with snooker after discovering regular match content on UA-cam. Do you watch it?
I also watch a little international level pool. But the snooker is just oh wow for reasons I won’t go into here.
I have an old quality local built English pool table. Small balls and very very tight pockets. I can imagine I’m playing snooker on it. Great fun.
I have been playing for 19 years and ......haven't improved much.
@Hammeredprawn Why would you comment, when the only things you have to say are sarcastic and cynical?
Finally!! A well explained video using side and how to compensate for it 👏 👍 😀
Needed this, thanks for the videos!!
Excellent video.
Excellent video. Thank you
I really love lectures, very helpful for Bigginers, keep it up Sir,,,, 👍👍
Best video I've watched about snooker,Very good teacher and thanks for the video, LOVED IT 👍👏❤😊😊😊
Hi Steve, something you didn't really mention is that not only does the side change the angle after hitting a cushion but it also adds or takes away the pace of the cue ball, but I didn't know this until I saw Stephen Hendry explain it last week. Running side not only widens angles but will also make the cue ball travel further, while check side can kill the cue ball as it comes off the cushion. So finally making that famous Jimmy White shot that had Kirk Stevens slapping his thigh as the cue ball looked like it got stuck in glue after coming off the top cushion, make some sense. I know you will know that, but I don't feel you made the point clearly that it can be used just as much for changing distance as well as angles. But a great series. The one on understanding all the angles between a top spin and screw was a massive help. You have great talent not just as a teacher, but as a player, your shot success ratio looks very impressive
Very well explained.
A useful lesson, good explanation.
This was really helpful
Can't wait to try it out
Cause I always missed these shots
Thanks
I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL
I’ve just discovered your videos and I found this one on aiming with side particularly helpful. I’ve only been playing for ~6 years. Started late in life…I’m approaching my 75th year. Just want to thank you for your assistance! Cheers
Thanks John. Great to help 👍
Thanks for this video sir 💜💜💜
Brilliant explanation
I Enjoy the way of explation with careful Playing , very useful to practice , thanks a lot for this video
great video...really well explained...thanks brother ☘
That was the best lecture on using side spins in snooker I have watched till date.
Thank you so much 👍
Nice introduction, Well constructed, Nicely Explained,
Great Content Steve! Many thanks :)
Very useful…. Thanks.
Top class.
Very much helpful. Thumbs up
That was a game-changer video. Thank you
Great video!
Always my problem Steve! TBH - One of many - 😂😂😂😂😂.
This was, in my humble opinion, the most useful clip to date - cheers mate!
Thanks, it was very useful
Great videos, Steve! Please make a video to how to play with side against the nap and the adjustments you make with your aim. Thanks again!
Thank you info Mr
Happy Teacher's Day Coach!you are amazing.learnt lot from you.Thank u for being the best and honest snooker coach
Thank you! 👍😃
Thanks barton snooker for this amazing video 🥰 🥰
Thank you for watching 😃
Thanks for this very useful video Steve.
I feel playing sides is quite intimidating, so a mini-series would be nice on this explaining all the nuances of side play in more details. Such as
- At what distance playing side is not worth it
- Effect of side spin on object ball
- More practice routines for side
- How far can you go in the game (intermediate?) without playing sides and at what level playing side becomes must to up the game?
and so on.
Are you a teacher by any chance or just a 🪖
this is the most perfect video to improve ur game
Great video as per normal
Another great Video! ❤️👍👋🇩🇪 Thank's.
Since i started watching ur videos my game improved massively thanks bro keep doing what u are doing ❤️
Awesome Zaheer. Thanks so much for watching and it's great to help 👍
I knew how to play with top spin or screw back but never really understood how to play with side but this videos very very helpful thank you very much 👌🏻👌🏻
Here from the states….really enjoy your content!!! I love snooker, but sadly never get to play it. No table within a thousand mile radius….
As always, a very useful video, on the basics of snooker. For me now, at the moment, i need to work on my balance issues, due to having very poor knee stability, from years of running. Ps.. I'm also 65. For now, i'm at the point, where im trying different stances, so that my cue tip does not move around in front of the ball. It's a work in progress, so ill let you know how i go.
Great advice as always Steve 👏👌
Thanks Ray 👍
Great video and much needed to start to take the game to the next level. Could you explain more in another video about the throw of the object ball when using running side (is this only with running side)? I understand how to adjust my aiming regarding the push of the cue ball but not when it’s about this throw.. they seem to counteract each other which can be confusing.
nice sir.. we feel playing with sides very difficult. thanks for all your sfforts to make us understand the game .
Try not to put too much side on, the more side you try to put on the more chance you'll throw the white off
i have improved a lot bcoz of ur teaching sir..
Steve,what a great teacher you are,you make snooker effortless,quality isn't expensive it's priceless Steve,you as a person,and snooker coach.
I have never played snooker but there are things in common with pool...thanks mate🎱🇳🇿
Hmmm, I always thought playing with the nap the ball spins towards the side given, as against the nap where the ball spins away. 😃But what do I know 😁. Glad to have your vlogs Steve!
Thanks Steve. You have probably had this request before but playing side over distance would be a good progression to this video at some point. Thanks again for all the great content.
Hi Alec,
I will try and do a follow-up video where I talk about the distance making a difference.
Thanks so much for your support and suggestions 👍👍
I trained today the shot with checkside on the blue. That is an absolute necessity for decent breakbuilding
Learnt a lot and now I'm in yo breaks of 50-60s because of you. Its a shame I couldn't meet you for personal training as I live in Glasgow. Anyways keep them good work up
Sir you r best coach
Hi Steve. Great video. You mentioned the effect of throw with the green and red shots, but not with the blue shot. Is throw more of an issue with the less angled shots?
Love snooker, love the video, but still a very hard game to play 👍👏
Your work is fantastic and has reached and transformed my game even from afar and without speaking your language.
thank you so much!
Hi Steve, i only just found your channel recently and hit subscribe! Your videos are great. I have my own full size table at home too (and not buckets for pockets either) and this is a great explanation of side. It confused me for years (especially check) and then it just clicked one day. I have switched to a titanium ferrule and that did make a difference with side. I don't feel i have to be so extreme with the aiming using side but you still have to aim thick when using more extreme side. Have you used a titanium ferrule and if so, maybe a video showing the difference would be great as i can see it and its educational!
I'm so glad it's Thurday!
Nearly.
As always sir ❤️
Brilliant
Hi Steve! Thank you so much for your knowledge 😊🙏🏽 I’m new to playing with side.. Is it possible you could give us drills to practice consistency and aim when playing with side?
Simply wonderful
Love from Pakistan
i love you, i'm gonna subscribe you i love how you teach us
and also the power of shots
Brilliant, thank you. Question, I have a 9 million tip and a wippy cue. I get a lot more movement on the white as most players. Do I just over compensate more.
More video on side spin pls.. i think this is the hard part on snooker.. need more video on this
Very usefull.ta 👍👍🍺
When I first learned, before it became automatic, the way I used to remember which side to apply to the cue ball for screw back reverse side shots, is to strike it on the same side as the cushion.
Trying to learn… On the opening shot could you bounce two cushions and tap the back of the reds? Leaving it right up on them….Is that illegal or just foolhardy or risky? Left a like and subscribed. Thanks
@BartonSnooker I have an important question for me. If I give just touch of side to the cue ball, should I also compensate the angle to pot the ball or maybe it is some a little bit of touch side shots where I don't need to think about to change the angle? Thank's for video.
Can you make a video on how to play easier cushion shots
Hey Mr Barton, thanks for the video. I've watched every coaching video on side I can find but have never seen anyone cover what their eyes are actually doing when aiming with side. I've been playing for decades and play quite well (80+ break player). I recently made the mistake of over analyzing the way that I aim with side, I was a bit shocked and taken aback by what seems to be happening in practice and it's doing my head in so I've come to the internet seeking validation.
I found that when I use side my eyes are not looking straight down the line of the cue, but rather looking down the center of the white ball roughly towards the intended point of impact on the object ball. This of course means that my cue is slightly to the side of the center of my line of vision and also slightly off parallel with my line of vision. Is this how other players do it? Or do other players maintain the cue in the center of their vision and aim the shot with the cue ball appearing off to one side relative to the center of their vision?
I hope you can understand what I am trying to ask, it's hard to describe.
Please explain effect of distance on th aiming with sides
nice..tq
Hi I found your tutorials about using sides are very useful, and I really put that to practice and it works. But I just encounter a situation is when the cue ball requires hitting multiple cushions with sides like saving from a snooker I found it difficult to predict the direction of the cue ball. Could you help make a video about using sides to save snookers? It will be very useful
Very helpful video as always Steve. I heard you say on a couple of shots that the CB has no time to curve back so it's just about compensating for the deflection. If you ever do a part 2, I would be interested in 1 or 2 shots where the CB has more time to curve back. Also, do you think decelling on the shot can lead to the CB swerving back much sooner than it would otherwise?
Cheers. Yes, I will do a video showing when the cue ball is bending out. You are also right that if you decelerate, this will cause the cue ball to bend back too much and you'll miss the shot 👍
Really like this one Steve. Can I assume power and distance between cue ball and object ball make a big difference in how much adjustment you need to make when aiming? A follow up video idea perhaps? 🙂
You're right, Donald. Power and distance will require a different adjustment and then even more feel comes into it. Think of a footballer taking a free kick and judging the bend of the ball into goal. That's what a snooker player is having to do when playing side 👍
Correct me if im wrong, but the angles you ve shown in your thumbnail are opposite? When giving the run side it will push the play ball in opposite direction with the spin on play ball and vice versa for check side
most pro and coach say, get the cue tip to behind cueball. the way i play is i think shaun murphy does that, eg: as i get down my cue tip is above the cueball and i have to pull the cue back to bring the cue tip back behind the white, then start my featuring. does that cause problem ? and make the cue offline?
What is the most preferable tip size on cue for an amateur player? I mean so I could make even extremely spins with less mistakes? I used to play 9.5mm... But I wanna know a professional point on it. Thanks!
Hello Sir, my question is that, when you get on the shot, you are already putting the english on the cue ball, so how do you aim after that? Because when i get on the shot, i start with a straight cue aiming for the spot i want to hit (i assume that i am not putting any spin and then i add the spin and try to adjust my aim, but if i get on the shot without that straight cue how do i know where i am aiming? i hope my question makes sense. i usually close my left eye and only aim with my dominant (right eye) and put it over the cue
Kindly Need another video tutorial on this topic ...
hope can improve for my game...
Great lessons, thank you so much. I live in Thailand can you arrange video lessons as well? Mainly technical issues I'm a beginner. Very interested thank you
Yes. Please contact me on WhatsApp for details. Visit my website for the phone number.
Ok will be tomorrow. A bit late here now. Good night
I tend to pot reds effortlessly but tend to miss colors. Do you have any knowledge of why that happens? Is spotting the angle difficult for colors?
If the first shot had more distance between cue ball and blue how is it played then ..would the left hand side not check it ?
Hi, may I understand what is helping side really mean?
As a snooker player, do you think pool is much easier?
I appreciate your efforts. How can I get one-to-one snooker lessons?
Hi Tom,
Send me an email and I can send you all my details.
steve@bartonsnooker.co.uk
Pls demonstrate the shot where you're on the wrong side of the blue and u have to follow through the baulk 3 cushions to get back to reds near pink spot area missing the baulk colors.
Why does the cue ball miss the object ball completely when I use side spin?
Good Afternoon or Morning or Evening whenever you are reading my comment. I deeply follow your videos. I had a doubt in first shot, could we give top spin along with checkside in order to end more easily on the black and then stun or screw for the other reads. Thank You.
You could play top but it won't help it check any more in this example. You cannot fight the natural angle that the cue ball bounces off the red more by playing top. It always comes off at the same angle. Top spin only helps if the white has enough time to really gain traction on the cloth and pull the white off the original line. In this first example, no amount of top can pull the white further down towards the black cushion.
Hope that makes sense.
Steve 🙂
@@BartonSnooker Makes sense sir, thanks for the feedback
rule No.1 avoid side at all costs
😂😂😂😂😂
Ronnie says there is 110 sides of a cue ball😂😂
