    Great break! It's interesting that with the cue control that you have, you could conceivably plan the whole table and solve all of the tough reds before you even started.
    I love that Hendry has come to YT, he is such a legend and has so much access to players, I really think he is changing the face of snooker for the better and good on you for coming to the party :)

    Wish you were closer mate! I've been playing snooker many years. I used to make 40-50-60, the odd 70 & 80 quite regularly when I was younger. My highest is 96 missing an easy pink to make my first ever century!
    🙃😲😔
    Anyway, after having kids and a 15yr break away from the game I have joined my local league again and am enjoying the game more than ever. I used to make those breaks on pure potting ability and I had a little bit of cueball control, what I've never been great at is shot choice and how to break build the correct way. I am back potting pretty well when I'm cueing nicely but still struggle with shot choice....as I said I wish you were closer because I honestly believe that once taught shot choice and a few lessons on cue ball control (side shots mainly) that ide be back knocking in regular 50's 60's and on.
    My goal is to knock in my first century and get my name on the century plack where I play. If I only ever do one tonne I would be okay with that!😉

    I seem to remember you made a video on safety shots, quite some time ago. I can't find that one now, but maybe you can expand a little on shot selections, safety-wise? When I watch the pros on TV I apparently have a different view, because I often find myself surprised by what ball they chose, when they have a few to choose from.

Still love playing though, and I've recently started playing again having not played for about ten years.
