    1 bit of advice to the channel creator's. Engage with your fans. It's a great channel and a little reply from the champ himself to some great comments we are reading or liking comments you like increases engagement from us all on another level.
    Enjoying the channel thoroughly 👌🏼.

    I've been playing 30years and I've always broke off 2inches to the right of the brown and I hit the last but one red with middle/top right hand side. Always get a great breakoff with the cue ball behind either green or brown. Works for me.🙂

    I, for one, love scrappy, 30-40 minute frames. It challenges players in other ways and we often see a more tactical game, which I like. It'd be a problem if was every frame, but once in a while it's nice to have the variety.

    Being in the USA, the only knowledge I have of snooker is gained listening and watching the events on the internet. I certainly enjoy your comments and enjoy learning the game. This does transfer nicely to the pocket billiards I do play. I have a curiosity for the pattern of eye movement as you sight and execute the shots. The great camera work on current snooker play has given me clues for different players.

    • @EannaButler

If I can start by getting the right break off I'll be happy with that. Thanks again Stephen and keep making these great videos. I can't wait to go to my local snooker club to try again now. Also what is the cheapest price you would suggest for a decent cue? I don't want the cheapest cue but I don't want to pay a grand for one either!

    Hello Stephen.
    I'm a long-time fan of yours (from South Africa) and I think I've watched every single televised game you've ever played; some more than once!
    Your new channel is AmAzInG and thanks so much for these lessons; they ARE being tried-and-applied!
    I've always admired your shot-selection and willingness to take a risk if the potential reward is of value.
    Enough "Fan-boying" and back to practice...
    😎
