I'm a pool player living in NYC, but your videos have been some of the most helpful for my game. I've seen this method explained before, but I could never get my head around it. The ghost ball method works much better for me. Thanks for all the videos!
This reminds me a lot of Shane Van Boening's aiming method! He explains it in a pretty similar way, and I've been using it ever since. Works like a charm!
I haven't been on a snooker table in 10 to 12 years and I still I've been watching his videos for 2 years now. I like it when he tries to duplicate shots. Igor, Toronto , Canada.
Very useful video. I'm in the south of England (just north of Portsmouth at Waterlooville in Hampshire) and I'm in the middle of having an extension put onto my home so I can set up a full size snooker table (that I was given for free), and once I get that up and running I'll be watching your videos and practicing my snooker. One day I hope to be as good as you.
Snooker player from Australia. Well thought through and explained. Have been struggling with some angles so now know how to approach the problem. Thank you.
I’m really happy to see this… I am just picking pool up again and I used to very instinctively aim using this system. It’s just what made sense to me, but I didn’t really study the game much back then. I’m picking it up again and am using the ghost ball method based on recommendations from pros. But I’m finding I’m having trouble with it! I liked having the reference point being easy to see if I tried to the divide the object ball and the space beside it up into segments. So I’m really glad to see this an accepted aiming technique and not just a bad habit I gained when I first started playing. I can see the usefulness of the ghost ball for some cases, like really thin cuts. But I’m gonna give this a try again to see if I still like it better than the ghost ball method.
I’ve just found this, because I googled how to que straight, I retired from playing snooker in a local team after breaking my wrist, that was around 10 years ago, since then I’ve been unable to que straight, but watching the snooker on tv I have found myself wanting to play again. I watched the video on queing video and now I am watching as many as i can, thank you for your explanations, they’re really useful, I am looking forward to getting back to playing asap Steve Leeds Yorkshire, England :)
I;ve watched your videos a few times and you are so good at snooker, all the challenges you've completed and you're so confident playing. So do a get maximums regularly and what sort of matches/tournaments do you take part in?
When I was into snooker I had to draw up the angles in AutoCAD because I couldn't get to grips with some angles. I worked out that a 3/4 ball was 15 degrees, 1/2 was 30 degrees and 1/4 ball was 46 degrees. However this doesnt cover all the angles, so if the angles between 15 and 30 degrees you just go with a half ball say and then add a bit on for instance. It worked well for me anyway.
Angles is my nemesis. I have had lessons and cue straight, but miss a lot at the minute as the angles are just gone in my mind. I have started more focused angles practice, but I am going to also try this slicing technique.
Mate I love your channel, been watching for a couple of years now. You’re one of the good guys for sure. I have an idea for a short video for you. I noticed that I haven’t seen you recreate many shots bridging over balls, I might be wrong pal? I wondered if you could put a fake nail on your finger and see what affect that would have help of hinder. Sorry for long txt, much respect Diff, Wales 🏴
My concentration level starts declining after 3 or 4 frames in competitions. It is due to repetition/ monotonous nature of snooker I guess? Can you make a video on how to tackle this problem? Your videos are easily relatable to problems I go through on the table, thank you. Love from Canberra, Australia.
There are many possible reasons. It could for example also be your nutrition before and during a competition. In snooker you have to stay focused for a long time so you have to eat/drink stuff that gives you energy for a long time. Those things are often overlooked and can make a big difference.
Thanks I needed this information so I can tell myself I'm doing it right the whole time and not to care about what others say again thank you very much
This method is so close to a method I teach, I call the eclipse method. The eclipse method gets you lined up directly with the center of the ghost ball. 1. Find the spot on the object ball that needs to be struck to pocket the ball. 2. Find the same spot on the opposite side of the cue ball. 3. Line the cue up straight so as to connect the two points. 4. Parallel shift the cue to the center of the cue ball. 5. Pull the trigger.
I don't play snooker, but I find your videos tremendously helpful - beyond the rest... you could probably do videos on anything. Cheers Mate lol --- Nate from Toledo, Ohio
Hi mate, your videos are helpful, well done. much love from Gravesend, England 🏴 Been watching your videos since the start, I haven’t been on the map yet though. 🤩 John
on any shot, mentally place a ball in front of the object ball so that it creates a perfect plant to the place you want the object ball to go- not always a pocket, think of playing snookers. then, you know that the cue ball must strike the object ball at the point where the first ball in your imaginary plant was to achieve the desired outcome. this is helpful with blind pocket shots. you can focus all your efforts on recreating the plant and ignore the pocket altogether.

Only for this guy 😂😆
2021 method is out of date, doesn’t work anymore.

I understand points 1-3. What is point 4? What do you meam by that?
@@HDsharp , how about shoot the shot.
@@SomeGuy-tz8dz never mind, i got the ideal now,:)
Well it's too difficult to judge exactly where the point would be on the cue ball
Ye mirror the contact point. I don't really know how to do that either tho.

Hello from Sydney Australia.... Scott
Would you say any aiming can only be achieved consistently if your putting the cue ball where your intending?
Extremely useful video. It would be ideal if subtitles were added, and that's great
on any shot, mentally place a ball in front of the object ball so that it creates a perfect plant to the place you want the object ball to go- not always a pocket, think of playing snookers. then, you know that the cue ball must strike the object ball at the point where the first ball in your imaginary plant was to achieve the desired outcome. this is helpful with blind pocket shots. you can focus all your efforts on recreating the plant and ignore the pocket altogether.
