Thanks Steve. To be honest, this is my go to channel for any learning and practice routines. I love the way you create these videos and the routines, helping all of us learn. I always appreciate your work and just noticed how you are improving the quality of your videos as well. They look excellent, all the best.
Wow !! Incredibly organized and lovely showcasing. There couldn't be a better way to explain straight cueing without a single word. Simply awesome @bartonSnooker
@@joe2grand , yep!... it is hard. I have never tried level 10. Level 9 for me is real hard. What helped me improve was I was told to imagine the back and coming through to pick up the cue ball. This helped a lot in getting the object ball in the pocket and the cue ball going down on occasion.
This is great. Thanks Steve. Managed to pot #10 a few times but not managed the in off yet. Rattled the jaws a few times tho. Great video from you once again.
Wow that is amazing Steve truly brilliant. Don't think ill manage half of them hahaha screw back i struggle with big time length or half length of the table but ill give that a try when i manage to get back on a table great watching that 😀👌👍👍
Thanks for this video Steve, will attempt it once the clubs finally allow us back to play snooker again in Australia ... BTW how many attempts did you need to do all these steps?
First 5, one attempt. Level 6 & 7.... probably 2 or 3 goes each. Level 8 & 9..... 6 to 8 shots each Level 10.... 9 shots in total. I potted 3/9 but didn't get the white in on the other two pots.
@@BartonSnooker Great effort, still wished you were located in Australia, would love to get some coaching guidance from you as I know it would improve my snooker, hopefully one day you can visit Australia! BTW some of us at the club attempt the blue ball challenge in between games, have you heard of it, if not its potting the blue ball from the spot with the white on the the line, straight potting and seeing how many in a row we can achieve, so far most I have done in a row is 6
Wow, that last one is me. I either stun the ball or the ball jumps up. I can't get backspin unless I use a closed bridge and stab the cue and yank the stick back fast.
Great video as always steve, how many attempts did it take for them 10 shots....11 🤣👍🏻. You should try the blue ball challenge with no editing and show...its on UA-cam with the pros doing it. Its basically shot 10 and u have 5 attempts
Hey steve barton...wishing for your good health.. A question, can we change the side after getting down into the shot, by moving the bridge hand. One more thing, when we line a shot up our dominant eye is on that line ie behind the center of the cue ball, but if we are putting a side on the ball, where should our eye be, over the cue or behind the center of the cue ball, as there is a touch distance between the both. Thanks a ton :)
Hi Steve, thought I’d give this a go and successors completed. Level 1-5 fairly simple. Level 6 took me 7 goes, then another 9 before completing it twice in a row. Level 7 I did it on 1st attempt and tried again cos I thought it might have been a fluke and took another 4 goes completing that level. Level 8 took me 3 attempts. Level 9 was the hardest and took me 12 attempts. Finally level 10 took me 10 attempts. Next time I try I’m going to video it and send it to you....relieved! Phew! Lol
That's great cueing. I'd say you've done really well with all those shots there. Once you get to level 8, 9 & 10 I'd never expect to get those first time.
Quick question - why did the cue ball chip into the air on the outtake but not when it was correctly done? What went wrong there? Was it lack of chalk? Did the cue tip hit the surface of the table?
Just hit a fraction too low on the cue-ball. If you go too low, there won't be enough cue tip in contact with the cue ball and it won't grip enough, causing the tip to slide off the cue ball and jump up in the air.
What about the last red pot from the jaw was that 1st attack potting? In my opinion i don't think so 🤔 if yes then reply with video plz with same shot not then its fine coz its challenging ball🙂 # BartonSnooker# Love from Nepal
Great cueing, smooth. I am only level 3, with level 3 it's still possible to win most frames against average hobby players. Hope one day I reach better level.
No. The first 5 were. Then level 6 & 7 took 2-3 attempts. Level 8 & 9 around 6-8 shots, something like that, and then shot 10 took 9 goes. I have the raw footage of the last shot so check that out as well.
Hii i had a question i have been playing snooker for more than 3 years now...i have worked on my cueing a lot and its been better now...but the thing i have noticed that i mostly play on the weekends due to office stuff i dont het much time but some time it happens i cannot pot the balls which are almost hangging on the pockets and some days are like i can even beat the rocket i can literally pot the balls from anywhere on the table...i dont know why my game. Is not consistent because some days when i know i am playing good and have made the break of 40 and 50 but some day i even struggle to pot some straight simple pots i dont understand it it my techquie that is wrong or does this game have to do something with my confidene...because i have notice when i am confident i can pot balls from anywhere and when i am not i cant pot a ball...do you have any suggestions upon it please provide you valueable feedback Would appreciate your response if you take some of your precious time and respond on my thing thank you soo much once again
It's like golf mate ,sometimes you can turn up and look like you have never played the game ,other times you just play well .Thats sport for you and no matter how hard you practice ,you just have to accept that some days its not there ,the key is to have a good B game that you can fall back on ,enough to get you over the line. ,Thats why Steven Hendry was so devastating at his peak .
Definitely pal thats is the game, but i love to see the shocking face on the club when the other play see me from play garbage to go on making break...that really boost my confidence the ones who usedd to laugh at me now they appriciate my game, just love this game
Number 10......what....how???😅👌👌👌👌👌 I still miss sometimes with top spin on white into middle pocket .. despite practicing for about 4 years....:( Keep trying
I'll be happy to upload the raw footage of that actually. Potted the first two but didn't get the white in. Then missed a couple and then got the next!
I would have thought playing long straight shots dead weight would be a better way to improve your cuing. Hitting it hard can mean the unintended side you put on the shot won't take effect before it reaches the object ball.
@@BartonSnooker yes Steve were ok just gagging to get back on the green bays. Just before lockdown knocked in a 41 break so doubled my norm since coming back to the game so keen to keep moving forward
Thank you Sir for making me feel good through your words and I hope this global pandemic ends soon and till then, your amazing videos are my only source of joy
When the shots come off there are really lovely to watch.last shot was unreal cueing.keep up the good work mate 👍

That’s brilliant cueing
Lovely touch including the outtake Steve. Great fun, and that's what it's all about!
Thanks for the great work.
Watching all your video.
Keep watching Gained a lot of knowledge from Thailand
master class, great cue control steve
EXCELLENT SHOTS!
Very Good practice to identify the cueing problems.
I've managed no.10 a few times..takes a lot of focus. Full length screwback from near corner pocket would be level 11!
ive been trying just to pot the number 10 (let alone follow it with the white) - been trying for years ! Not much success!
@@joe2grand , yep!... it is hard. I have never tried level 10. Level 9 for me is real hard. What helped me improve was I was told to imagine the back and coming through to pick up the cue ball. This helped a lot in getting the object ball in the pocket and the cue ball going down on occasion.
The beauty of editing
Level 11 = pot level 10 successfully at least 3 consecutive times.
Ding used to practice that every day
This is great. Thanks Steve. Managed to pot #10 a few times but not managed the in off yet. Rattled the jaws a few times tho. Great video from you once again.
Very good tutorial.I like it.
Thats fantastic mate I have played the game for years and I understand how difficult some of those shots are.
Awsome sir I,m big fan of yours ...u r such a super coach ...
Control, feel is what I need to practice for improving my game. Thanks
Wow that is amazing Steve truly brilliant. Don't think ill manage half of them hahaha screw back i struggle with big time length or half length of the table but ill give that a try when i manage to get back on a table great watching that 😀👌👍👍
Brilliant Steve!😃
It’s good seeing the miscue on camera because you can keep replaying it to see what exactly was wrong and why the miscue happened
Great video mate
nice one that was good cueing
Great video Steve, i need a lot of practise to get to level 10

@@vir72l impossible for him not to know the blue ball challenge as it is necessary for advanced players to develop and maintain their straight cuing.
Nice video Steve. I love the use of music in this one. Can I ask what the first song is?
Still managed to put the white into the pocket in the last shot🤣
Excellent drill, i struggle to cue straight, i have to aim slightly to the right to counter balance and enable straight shot
Nice video. Impressive cueing. Which shot took most attempts if it's not rude to ask?
Out standing sir
The Last,No. 10 Outstanding
Great last Pot 👍🏿😊, we all just human! Nice to see this Steve! 👍🏿😉
you make it look so easy omg
How good is that- WOW!!
wow, this is really amazing.. i might not even reach level 5.
good fun to challenge the club buddy though
cheers

Could you please tell me why you putting cue ball to the pocket?
Outstanding Steve I’ll get to work on these
Great tests of cueing! Let me know how you do!
BartonSnooker think it will take a few months for the last two but if I apply myself properly and have a million try’s lol
On fire mate 😁😁😁😁 keep safe 👍
Amazing!
I can't even imagine myself making once the No. 10 in my 7 ft. pool table. Amazing shot!
The outtake gives me hope.

Very nice bro keep it upp
This is fantastic. You should be a professional I would love to see you compete -I think you would stand a good chance against some of the top 16.
I am trying to do the 8th ..
Level Mark Williams, closing your eyes xD
Thanks for the out-take, until then I didn't believe you were human. :D Hahaha

This guy deserves to be 2020 World Snooker Champion... Imao
Gr8 video.
How much do i have to get to
amazing need all fundamental right and lot of practice
I‘m a master of the outtake shot
and now honestly tell us, how many tries does it take you to successfully do that
Raw footage of the last shot coming tomorrow 😎
If u have the ability of practice its easy 😋
For amateurs, screwing cue ball back is probably the most difficult part. I would like to exchange the positions of level 4 &5 for myself. haha
Im sorry but that is just ridiculous. Like how tf?😂😂
How many takes though? lol
@@seanscanlon9067 See his other video which shows the failed attempts.
Very difficult shot.
@@seanscanlon9067 True but still being able to do that. Even the missed attempts were ver very close. To get to that level is some top notch stuff
Lol how many out takes on that last shot Steve?
Have a look at the raw footage Martin. 9 attempts, potted 3/9 with the white going in once 👍
Great cueing, smooth. I am only level 3, with level 3 it's still possible to win most frames against average hobby players. Hope one day I reach better level.
Great stuff, well done! Once you can move on one level, you know your cueing is improving 🙂
Last pot was from another world nice
Level 100, red in the pocket, white in the opposite pocket, draw white back in the pocket.
No. 10 is so freakin' hard
Was everything first attempt? Though it was high class.
No. The first 5 were. Then level 6 & 7 took 2-3 attempts. Level 8 & 9 around 6-8 shots, something like that, and then shot 10 took 9 goes. I have the raw footage of the last shot so check that out as well.

Last one was tough
Great shots, examples of straight cueing you probably got them all first take I bet
Watch till the end and you'll see I didn't manage ALL of them first go 😂
@@BartonSnooker ahh missed that lol
Number 10......what....how???😅👌👌👌👌👌
I still miss sometimes with top spin on white into middle pocket .. despite practicing for about 4 years....:(
Keep trying
No one can't do it just barton can and can do it last shot is not easy i try it so many time i use 10mm so that's why
Hail ♥️Barton
How many takes did that last one take? 🤣 such a tough shot just stunning it in. Trying to follow the cueball in is another level 👍
I'll be happy to upload the raw footage of that actually. Potted the first two but didn't get the white in. Then missed a couple and then got the next!
@@BartonSnooker fair play. 👍
I would have thought playing long straight shots dead weight would be a better way to improve your cuing. Hitting it hard can mean the unintended side you put on the shot won't take effect before it reaches the object ball.
Great smooth cueing, you make it look effortless, oh for the want of trying.
Great outtake , shows you are human like us lot after all.
😆
See your training on my shot is working well
Hope you're well Martin 🙂👍
@@BartonSnooker yes Steve were ok just gagging to get back on the green bays. Just before lockdown knocked in a 41 break so doubled my norm since coming back to the game so keen to keep moving forward
no. 10 should actually be an 11 - that is ridiculously hard to do....
I once witnessed a guy that can hit that shot 8 or 9 out of 10...5 matches he played 3 centuries...
Shot 11 ball in the jaws of the pocket draw back to original pocket
Level 12, put the white on the 2nd table, start straight cueing from there to pot the red.
Btw, great video editing. One of the best so far
not having alot of cue power and being abit stabby like Mark Allen i get level 10 more than 9 haha
Make it lvl 11 please :)
I can do till 5 only. Once fluked the number 10.
My level was atmost 5 before lockdown and I haven't practiced for 3 months 😩😫😫
You will soon get back to that level, don't worry!
Thank you Sir for making me feel good through your words and I hope this global pandemic ends soon and till then, your amazing videos are my only source of joy
Have your even been to India(my nation) ??
Last 3 was unbleavable hard😑😑😑😑
Next video: level 11~20
Oh no I am only level 4
Haha 10 is the easiest one for me, everytime I try to stun the cue ball from that position I end potting the cue ball too.
😩😄
Am i the only one who believes 9 would be harder than 10?
🙏🙏👌👌👏👏👏👏
Level 10 more like level impossible
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👍🏻
I find no. 9 to be harder than 10 . Check out my long blue screw back in my profile :)
