Best coach available on UA-cam and I bet he’s the best for one on one sessions. Great tips as always steve. I must admit that my game improved since I’ve been following your channel and put everything on to the practice table! Thank you
When I first subscribed your channel, I struggled to pot even 2 balls consecutively. Now I at 10-20 break on average. Your tips really helped me. Thanks.
I couldnt get over my 59 highbreak for half a year now. Yesterday i went to the club and hit a 70 (I'm talking match-situations, not lineup or so). Missed an easy pink, i'm fuming haha. Went home and saw this video came out. Brilliant timing mate. Solid channel. Absolutely love it. Cheers.
Great video thanks so much. One question pls..assume u have all the colour balls on their respective spots and u pot the black. Where would u put the black assuming it's spot is blocked.
Starting from the black cushion, it goes as close to its own spot, in a direct line, as possible. So if a red was on the black spot, it would look like this: 🔴 ⚫ But obviously the black would be almost touching the red. As close as it can possibly go, WITHOUT touching the red.
Great video. Thank you very much and I've learned a lot from your videos. Would be nice if the videos would also indicate where about to hit the cue ball. Just to confirm how the shot should be made as we watch your training videos.
Thanks Steve but it is very important to mention where to hit in the cue ball if you finish short in the red and you want to use it to open the pack or to play screw shot.not all of us aware, do you apply side in these shots or only normal shot kindly clarify in every shot where to hit in order to be aware in practice thanks. moreover, using the black to open the pack do you play normal shots or you use side pls let us know thanks.
Good tips for sure! After getting back to the table after lockdown I find my self not feeling to confident with my cue action. Hoping to feel more confident soon!
Great information Steve. That’s exactly where I am at the moment, too tempting to take the open balls first- I’ll definitely start to think like this. Inspired👍🏻
Nice, I'm not snooker player, I can easily apply this to my pool ball games. I am a subscriber and watch you videos faithfully. Keep up the excellent work !!!
Thanks Alan! You could always come and see me for one of my half-day sessions. I give as much to work on as possible with practice routines sheets, technical sheets and videos from our session 🙂
I have had a few hundred breaks in the past with my best being 107 I gave up snooker a good 12 years ago when my local club closed I have recently started playing again but feel uncomfortable on the shot like I could miss anything and I am now not as confident as I once was my question is there a quick way to get back to how I played years ago or is it a case of just hard work Great video
This may sound really dumb, but is there a specific amount of chalk to put on your cue tip? I always see pros etc slightly chalk there cue with 1 stroke but when I play, I find myself chalking quite a bit. I don't know if I am applying too much? And would this have an adverse affect on the cue ball? Such as kicks etc
Hi Dermot. Good question. There isn't really a specific amount you're applying. You're just giving the tip a coaching of some chalk so that that tip better sticks to the cue ball. With regards to how much that is, if you're chalking every shot, then it only needs to be a bit each time. It's just enough chalk dust to give more of a grip between the cue ball and the tip. Always remember too that the chalk is abrasive. So the more you chalk, the more you're wearing the tip down. If you constantly chalk too much, you're effectively sanding down your tip. So as long as there is some on to give that grippy contact, that's fine. Too much and you're just wearing your tip unnecessarily.
Hello Steve would I be able to make breaks over 50 with just running the ball threw or playing bottom or does playing side help with that. As I struggle to play side thank you
Yes you can make 50+ breaks without using side. Side spin is a useful tool for correcting position when you fall slightly out of ideal placement, but certainly you can make good breaks without it. I have a video of a 30+ break without using side spin.
BartonSnooker thank you I will check out the page. I think I have saw you in the golden cue a couple of times. Will probably want some coaching when the West Midlands league starts back up
@@martinedmunds5188 yes you will have seen me in there. Would be great to work with you on the table and help you out. It much easier doing the sessions 1-2-1 with players to see exactly what they're doing and give you the guidance that will be best for you.
BartonSnooker yeah that would be good could u email prices? Iv been stuck on a 48 break for a while now. My long pots arnt bad it’s just keep control of the white and position I struggle with Martinedmunds92@outlook.com
I continue to miss seemingly straight forward shots. I watch all of these different vids on varoius channels and nothing really changes...It's very very frustrating. Ok...I'll wipe my nose and dry my eyes now :-D
That 6 ball pack changes depending on camera angle. They are tightly bunched in the close up but in the video the bottom right ball is loose! Poor video for your standard. Love the videos but dont mislead
Hi Mike, Thanks so much for your feedback, it's much appreciated. When I film these videos I have to do it all by myself. So I have to do the actual main video, and then all the other shots you see I have to film myself by setting the balls back up and then filming to give people an idea of how the balls were placed. I'm so sorry that you feel the balls were not placed exactly as they should be. Please accept my apologies and I will try to be more accurate in future.

When I first subscribed your channel, I struggled to pot even 2 balls consecutively. Now I at 10-20 break on average. Your tips really helped me. Thanks.
Great tips from Great coach! Thank you very much!
Great video. Three simple sounding tips that I'd not considered. I always clear the easy reds and end my break 🤦♂️
Thanks!

Thanks so much......and in the same situation for the brown ball pls

Statistics rarely lie. Wonderfully produced video, with clear explanations and great audio. Yet 0.5% of people felt the need to give it thumbs down.
Thanks for the support 🙂
Always a nice surprise when a new video pops up.
Let's watch!
great work.
Nice, I'm not snooker player, I can easily apply this to my pool ball games. I am a subscriber and watch you videos faithfully. Keep up the excellent work !!!
Same here principles similar in pool
Fantastic video once again thank you so much hopefully I can get a one to one lesson soon I expect you are excellent with this :)
Thanks so much. Would be great to work with you on the table 🙂
Brilliant as usual 👏 wish you were located nearer me in West Yorkshire BD13 4LL.

@@BartonSnooker thanks for such a detailed answer. Much appreciated 👌
@@BartonSnooker That's a great answer and not a dumb question at all as it is something that I have often wondered!

Thanks 😊

Great
Vielen Dank
Very useful. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡💪✌
Steve, I hope this was for my benefit 😂
in my case when i try to break the building, it always split the pack but I missed the black. "You are welcome"
Recently started playing snooker from being a casual pool player. Highest break is 12 lol.
1.先打哂loosing 紅色 2. 留一定角度係黑色 3. 用紅打紅撞更多紅色chance
I continue to miss seemingly straight forward shots. I watch all of these different vids on varoius channels and nothing really changes...It's very very frustrating. Ok...I'll wipe my nose and dry my eyes now :-D
