      Seen him play an exhibition in my hometown. He was marvelous. Fortunately for me I got to meet him later on in my life. I ended up moving to Belfast and ran about with Alex nephew. Sadly at that time his illness was getting worse. But he did still drink his Guinness in the Swan in Belfast regardless

    This is one of the best videos I've seen on your channel. I am lucky enough to be able to generate a tonne of spin with a powerful and accurate cue action but that Higgins shot was special and why people actually first fell in love with the game of snooker.

    Your Alex Higgins screwback attempt seems to be missing something. If you watch the original shot, the cue ball zips off both the first and second cushion. Your attempts, the cue ball seems to really die off the second cushion. Might there have simply been a bit of chalk smudge on the second cushion which can cause a big bounce? Are your cushions a little less reactive? Could you make the shot if you smear a bit of chalk over the black cushion rail? Wonder what your thoughts are after your attempts, especially considering your table probably plays a little quicker than the 80s tournament tables.

      No I don't think it's any of what your saying it's Hinggis cue power what the difference is and of course the tables back then where slower which makes it even more amazing I don't think Jimmy white could of got that much cue power even it his best. I would probably say Judd trump maybe could do it. Higgins probably must of had a bit of side on the white as well.

    Alex Higgins was years ahead of his time. He could use ALL varieties of spin like no one else ever could. He could hold the cue ball from anywhere. In modern conditions, he wouldn't need as much. When you consider how hard it was back then to just screw back at a decent distance.

  • @Bats-7

    Have you tried recreating the two Alex Higgins shots from a famous private match with John Virgo? With pink and black remaining, he pots the pink down the cushion when he can't see the pocket, then pots the black into the middle one handed. Both while a long way from sober.

  • @mahmoudbenftin3369
    @mahmoudbenftin3369 10 місяців тому

    first of all thanks a lot for making these videos and providing us with the opportunity to learns all these skills.
    concerning pots along the cushion I did the opposite of what u said " if the pocket is on the right we use left hand side, and if the pocket is on the left we use right hand side"
    for example if I wanna pot an object ball in a pocket to the right I use right hand side and I aim as if I'm going to miss the object ball by a fraction and it's working everytime I use it, specially with long cushion pots.

    I’m sure when you have a new cloth fitted these shots will be easier to recreate .Hainsworth match with table heaters turns snooker into a completely different game and you won’t have to look like a 9 ball player hitting deep power shots .Alex Higgins shot was quite exceptional considering the cloth was heavier and no table heaters ,but the tables even then Were quite quick

    The Higgins shot is 100% down to the table. Your white keeps pace with his up until the black cushion then it slows down after. So it appears something about your cloth is slowing the ball down from that cushion up.

    In reference to your cue power, you seem to cue half way down the butt, maybe, and forgive me if I’m wrong, but maybe bring your hand to the bottom of the butt. My old snooker coach always said that if you want to be gentle with a shot bring your hand further towards the front of the cue, and further back for more power.

    Alex higgins shot no so difficult. Its tough because your cueing cannot generate power as it is. Personally you dont have cue power cueing, you look so struggle when require any cue power shot. In tournament or competition, you need to have natural cue power, thats why ronnie didnt show his cue power, because he also dont have that ability.
