This new generation of young amateurs are very lucky to have tutorial of this high quality available on line in order to improve on their game, something which we did not have in the 90's when I played for over 15 yrs night in night out and never happened to learn on how to cue properly, and never able to make a 50 break. I am pretty sure that I would have improved a lot watching your video. Thank you Steve.
Glad you listened about the headcam. Now all is great. Well done Steve. Be nice to see you in a serious practice session with yourself, and don't explain anything, just get on with it a bit quicker and let us guess what shot your going to choose and whether you are going to put side screw back,run through etc.Also what I think would be good session,is where you purposely use side on the ball. There is still a lot of confusion, which side should be used sometimes, whether it should be left or right side.
Thanks Kevin. Always trying to give people what they want to see. I really appreciate your feedback. I was thinking of doing a time-lapse of a 1-2 hour practice session. Showing the things I practice in a session.
Thank you Steve, that headcam video has taken the tuition to a whole new level. Always excellent but this is brilliant, very helpful and worth watching several times. Btw looking at the views it’s a smash hit, congrats.
Watching this video after 3 years of posting and got a lot of knowledge. Will practice the same in light of this video. Thanks a lot for such a nice and knowledgeable tutorial.
I,m watching more and more of steve lately and it is undoubtedly improving things at my end, still admittedly a long way to go though and a lot safer than my other hobby of motorcycling.
Great video Steve, the way you manoeuvre that cue ball is amazing. This view is so helpful in break building and seeing the subtle bit of side you put on the white, thank you.
loved learning the natural angle aspect of the game from this video - it brought improvement not only to the placing of the cue ball but it increased my visual of placing the cue ball in a snooker position for my opponent. this video also helped me learn how to plan for the next shot and heightened my sense of how hard or soft my shot should be. Thank You! I don’t know how far you are from America but I would love to be coached by you.
Sir I just realised that for the players above beginner level such videos can be too much helpful. Please upload such more videos with different perspective as you always teaches this way like no others ever can. Your way of teaching is out of this world. I have little query sir, from your video I learned that while potting angle balls to right pockets, Left hand side is the "Helping Side" but which side is helping side while playing a angle pot to left pockets ? May the God Bless you Thank you
Question - at 5:35 are you playing with LH side? It looks to me like you are but the graphic says you're playing centre ball. Is the graphic only an indicated of verticality or are my eyes maybe subconsciously making me miss the middle of the white?
Yes I am playing left hand side. Makes the pot feel more comfortable. However it doesn't change the path of the cue ball, so I didn't show it on the graphic because it will only confuse people. It's not needed, but lots of players, top pros included, play with 'helping side' like that as it makes the pot feel easier.
It's left or right hand side depending on which way the cue ball is moving. Left if the white is moving to the left, right if it's moving to the right.
Hello, Steve. How much does a cue tip affect your pot success? I'm using a Talisman medium tip, thinking about swapping to a elk master soft. And How do you pick out a tip that works out of the box, since not all of them performs the same, some are better, while others not so much?
Great video Steve. 1 question...the last awkward red by pink at 09:25 and you play up for blue. I would have played a soft screw for pink. Can you tell me the pros and cons for both shots? Cheers
Just too much angle to be close to the pink to make the next pot easy. Also, if you finish the wrong side of the pink (so high in this shot), it would make the next positional shot very, very difficult. Whereas going for the blue, I can get a much easier pot, and it doesn't matter whether I finished high or low, I'm guaranteed another easy positional shot.
@@CueBald that's it. All about playing shots that a very heavily in your favour. You don't want to play shots that you'll get right 6/10.... When there's another option that will work 9/10. Good habit to get into thinking like that 👍
Me too, and I improved it by setting up small scale rotations with close blockers that required holding the cue then doing the drills center ball only. I also set up small rotations that required tiny cue ball travels throughout to run a specific pattern. One drill, not completely related, but I actually used to do a practice for touch with VERY gentle control where I would just place a ball a foot or so from the pocket and see how many times I could hit it successively with the cue before it fell, moving it in increments just enough to not leave them frozen. One of the best 'touch' tips I ever got was this drill, and setting up drills to freeze object balls to other balls at various distances is another good one. You've probably already thought of all these, but I found if I devoted a small part of my practice to these type drills for a while it also helped me think more about speed during my shots in regular play and eventually it just gets ingrained and then you don't have to. One thing I really figured out from them is you can regulate very low speeds very easily and accurately by just reducing your back swing to very small distances for very small hits, becomes easy to make very small/slow shots where severe regulation is required, like leaving very short distance safeties to the rail with both balls frozen and frozen to the rail. For me it works MUCH better than just trying to regulate cue speed from a longer length stroke. Likely you are eleven hundred times better than I am, but just something I found that worked for me. Ignore if you think I'm an idiot, but just something that helped get the idea through my thick, pointy head. Cheers.
Have you tried taking a shorter run-up 🤔? This helped me immensely with my cue-ball control when I reduced my 6ft run-up to just 3ft and eventually over time I got rid of the run-up completely and now can 'sometimes' land the white in either half of the table give or take 6 or 7 ft 👍😉👌
Thank you very much for showing us how to pot professionally and most of all how to control the cue ball, which is always a pain!lol, thnx Steve, keep up the good work, godbless,Dan👍
Another great video Steve, always seem to struggle with the Cue ball tight on the rail with straight pots into the Corner or Middle pockets, have you done a video that might help, cheers Alan.
@@Vinny-ts8dqHe can hit central and lower on the white like ding does but prefers to hit opposite side of the potting angle on the white as it just helps the pot by imparting a bit of spin on the white ...hard to explain, just physics or experience (if you look at the first second red he pots after the blue he has an angle on the red now if he stunned that central he might not hold for the black its just easier to dig down with a touch of inside (left on ob to hold for the black) A little bit of HS can stop the ob coming off thick on an angled shot after the white connects. You can do it both ways but usually you would hit slightly thinner on ob if cutting an angled shot and hitting central to counter act the throw effect. basically he works the cue ball in fractions to gain the right intended line for the next shot because he is advanced level type of player and when you get to this level you can work the angle more thro experience if you get me? Its just a natural thing some players do. He does not explain this to beginners right away perhaps as it can throw your game off and do your head in when you start but you pick it up as you go along and you gain a preference in the way you play certain shots. I would say its more an intermediate thing to learn. If you are asking this I would say don't worry about this yet just learn technique first and hitting central - learning the basics and building a solid foundation and repeatable pre shot routine is far more important in the long run and its often over looked by players looking for a magic bullet shortcut that does not really exist.
Hi Tony! Good to hear from you. I'd say I'd made an occasional 50 break here and there when I first played competitive matches. The league I play in has 6 divisions, 1 being the highest standard. So any player can slot into any league and have fun and compete against players their own standard. There's no set standard you have to reach before playing in matches. It's open to all and good for improving your game too. It's a learning curve playing proper matches when the other player wants to win just as much as you.
Great video 👍 I practice like this all the time and also the line up. It's fantastic the confidence you can gain from good shot planning and just taking your time. I've been searching within myself also on a cue action that suits me and a pre shot routine that works. Unfortunately while I found this all coming together and clicking but lockdown hit in December, but I can't wait because I believe I have my own fundamentals right in my shot routine ,timing etc and so looking forward to improving even more as I want my first century this year. My highest break is 83 so not far off. Your videos have been an inspiration and I can't wait for the 17th May
Thanks Steve sir its a pleasure watching you daily and learning one day i wish i could meet you in person. Can you please suggest me if one peace cue is best or 2 peace now a days most of the players using one peace.
Man, that head cam REALLY shows whether you are staying down and still. I think I'm going to grab that 'idea' as a practice mode occasionally until I get this licked. I figure if I watch them afterward a few times it will piss me off enough. I'll catch all kinds of ribbing and crap from it in the hall, but I'll give them one of my patented stupid answers like "I'm intending to place them into the library of congress as my gift to the world". If you saw how I play you would FULLY understand the joke. :-/ I liked your showing odd shaped targets and the reasoning for them, too. I will try to think more in that manner, rather than just regular circles, squares, whatever. I also liked the 'last thing I want to do" thinking. Sometimes knowing what you don't want to happen is important, critical anti targets if you will. Any future videos you'd like to do on short and extended (next several balls) patterning positions, and why, would be most appreciated, too. Seems to be one main aspect that really separates the men from the boys, so to speak. I know one of my big weaknesses is not planning far enough ahead, and another is choosing patterns that make it more difficult to achieve completion. I sometimes get "you shouldas" when I leave the table, and they are often very right. I get the idea that these mantras, like 'nice and still' probably run in your self commentary at least sometimes during play. Is that correct? I also suspect teaching has greatly improved your own play. I always say if you really want to know a subject, try to 'fully' understand it, then teach it for a while. Clubs reopening. YAHOOO sir, your lips to god's ears!
After you potted the last red, after potting the blue I found my self a bit confused as to why you didn't play to go in between the green and the brown twice instead of just drifting past the green on the way back? Is it just a personal preference thing or does this shot give you more margin for error?
If you try and check the white too much by coming back in between the green and brown again, if you misjudge it slightly, you can easily hit the green and its end of break. So it's safer and more reliable to just go the other side of the green.
Any thoughts on giving QSchool a shot this year? With the lockdowns you might have a better chance now than in other years, plus for the price the experience itself might be worth it?
Haven't got time unfortunately. I coach full time 7 days a week which I really enjoy. Also the standard in Q School is so high, I'd need 6 months of very dedicated practice to feel like I was consistent enough to hold my own.
Hi Steve, very nice video.. I wonder if the lights are bothering you at some point? I am about to decide the type of lights for my table but these were bothering me. (Especially when the other parts of the room is dark) Do you have the same problem? (Maybe I'll try to block the light coming the eyes when standing if i use this type.) What do you think?
No, I don't even notice them. As they are LED panels, you can stare directly at the panels and it doesn't strain the eyes at all. It will always look strange when filmed with a camera, as the exposure of the camera will make areas look darker or lighter as the camera tries to adjust from very bright, to darker areas. The biggest problem with this type of lighting, is that is sprays light out around the room and lights up a lot of the room as well. So if you're in a club, that's not necessarily what people want, as it can create shadows on the table next door.
Sir, I am right handed but due to injuries to my right shoulder, my right shoulder is considerably lower than my left. The problem I find when I placed my right foot in behind my left, my right shoulder will go lower still upon my finished stance. Instead I place my right foot in front of my left foot which helps raise my right shoulder to the correct position in my finished stance. I don't know if this unorthodox method is correct. Please let me know if there is another method that I may use if my current one is wrong and will hurt my game in the long run. Thank you
Left hand side if potting to the right, right hand side if potting to my left. Look at 2:15. Right hand side because I'm potting to my left. Also look at 17:22. Right hand side.

Very instructive video and very well played Steve! Will use your tips when I start playing again. Thank you,
Brilliant video!! Thank you for talking through the shots, extremely helpful for me to learn through your thinking & selection process
Brilliant this, you get a lovely spin back from the cue ball with your screw shots. Very good timing.

Brilliant. I love the way you guide.
Fantastic mate. Can see why that's a good routine to get us used to playing again, and the head Cam vids are always excellent too ⚪🔴⚫
I enjoyed this video, thanks Steve
Reminds me of my break last week, I was on my way to a 147, missed the second red....
Glad i found your channel. Thank you for all the amazing explanations. Now I need to practice what you have taught. regards
Cheers for all the vids Steve. You're so lucky to have a table! I miss the feel of the baize!
Should we consider center ball striking on priority?
This was great! Nice video quality, and not too much fisheye curvature. Is that a GoPro Hero 8?
It sure is! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
I love this , you’ve been the best online coach 😊ever
I want to meet and thank you Sir for your great tutorials always lets me learn something new ... you're a great teacher thank you

The problem I find when I placed my right foot in behind my left, my right shoulder will go lower still upon my finished stance. Instead I place my right foot in front of my left foot which helps raise my right shoulder to the correct position in my finished stance.
I don't know if this unorthodox method is correct. Please let me know if there is another method that I may use if my current one is wrong and will hurt my game in the long run.
Thank you
Nice lil 122
great cleaning sir
It feels like you play every shot with a bit of left hand side is that how you play it or it just seems like that
Left hand side if potting to the right, right hand side if potting to my left. Look at 2:15. Right hand side because I'm potting to my left. Also look at 17:22. Right hand side.
That was interestingly entertaining to watch...
So that's how to do it.. simples.. now where's my broomstick
Brromstick? I find an old branch fallen from a nearby tree is more than adequate. :-)
So good
