    Funny thing is that whenever you think that the angle you've picked is too thick/thin, the adjustment you make (intentionally or sometimes unintentionally) will make the miss even worse. That's why it's so important to learn to line up shots correctly and fully commit to the angle you've chosen. If it doesn't feel right when you're down on the shot, just get up and line up the shot again.

    Steve, your tips are fantastic, I have greatly improved from watching your videos, I am starting to make some consistent breaks I had two 60s b2b today and one was a clearance. I have been searching for more tips on improving my safety game as I have lost more frames than I should of in my local league this season due to coming to the table and not having a clue what to play in different scenarios, I'm pretty good a basic safety but when your down to the colours anyone can win and I've noticed on recent tournaments on t.v there's a lot of similar battles to pinch frames. Long pots to nothing worth going for if confident but if you miss its frame over?

    This is good stuff for American players who generally don`t play snooker. Same fundamentals apply. I enjoy snooker myself. It's a great game to improve your cueing skills because of the distances and tight pockets. In pool, snooker or 9-ball or whatever, stroke is king.

    The best tip I’ve found out for myself only last week was that I wasn’t aiming at the white where I think I was hitting. That’s came down to when I used my white cueball that’s got lines and a dot to use as a coaching ball , I’m sure you know what I mean. But the best procedure is to get one of them and when you’re on the shot , make sure you’re wrist and grip is in a relaxed position when the tip of your cue is covering the mark on the special cueball.
    That’s will change you as a player.
    76 is my highest break without trying to coach myself and I’ve made every other break up to 76 except 72,73 . But if you’re looking to improve you do need to study why you’re potting or what makes you pot that ball and try learn what you’re doing right.
    Snooker is a very tough game to master.
    Good luck all .

    Hiya Steve, just been try to employ some of your tips . I must say that my cueing is a bit smoother but still missing easy shots. I’ve tried to aim the way you demonstrate in your videos but still off bay half an inch or they rattle in the jaws. Managed a 19 break but panicked. Will keep watching but I need more practice. Keep up the good work 👍👍
