@@BartonSnooker Thanks for remembering us- well pleased to find a hidden club 1/2 mile down the road! Loving snooker more and more, 38 break is still the highest, but I know with these inspirational videos 40-50's are just around the corner... Will keep in touch👍
@@kfmctell great stuff. You'll crack it. I used to find sudden bursts in my break. I'd suddenly get a new high break from nowhere. I'm sure you will too 😃
I said a few years back that Steve would be coaching pros at some point. I hope that’s happened because his coaching methods are top notch. I’ve spoken to people who e had lessons from him and they’ve all said the same thing which is he’s improved their game massively and they’ve become better players. His way around the table and ease of understanding is what makes him a great coach. Well done Steve. Oh, great video and break 👍🏻😂
Love ur channel u explain things far far better than professionals. What with slowing things down and giveing an perfect walk through of shots and ball controll Outstanding.
Could you please explain what your cueing is doing to the cue ball. Example, why it goes to the right or left or backs up or doesn't back up. If you have a video that explains all that, please let me know what it is. Thank you........Sal : )
Great video. Hopefully I can take these points to the snooker table, practice and improve on my break building. More power to you. Regards from Riyadh. KSA. ❤️
As always explained in an understandable way, I had a bad week, could not put my finger on why as going through pre match routines. .... then back to winning ways, nit changed anything just looked back at your older videos and the magic was back, only thing I do find is the different speed of tables at different venues the same with no bounce off the cushions, but that's league games, keep them coming Steve, making me a way better play. 😊
Very good Steve! This vid really clarifies the '3 shots ahead' thinking extremely well. This should add some much needed structure to my practise! Thankyou.
Used this last night and helped me to be more consistent with potting, as well as with my positional play. Managed to knock in a few decent breaks picking out what the next 2 to 3 shots were.
thanks for all the hard work you put into making these videos, im playing again after 25 years but allways kept on watching snooker and watching your vids along with break for life. i just had a thought while typing this, would you play a few frames with break for life it would be intresting. Also some instructions for someone getting back in the game whos put on weight, gotten rounded shoulders and a forward head for the life of me i cant find the line of aim while im down and when i look up at object ball its all blurry and my eye sight is still good i know its a lot but it will be worth the challenge.
An 83 is a very good run, especially since your only 12. You might have some talent for the game, and you might be able to pick up the game very quickly, compared to most people. Keep practicing what you see on the videos and you might be a very strong professional by the time you're 20. Don't skip school, or you're school homework, though, and either go to university, or learn a trade, like carpentry, because there is a lot of competition in snooker, and only the top five, or so, professionals make a good living at it. But it's still fun to find something, like snooker, that you have a talent for at such a young age, and see how quickly you can improve at it, by practicing what you see on the videos. Try to find things, that you have a talent for, that you improve at quickly, because, in most sports, if you're not an excellent player by the time you're in your mid twenties, the coaches won't even look at you. See if you have a talent for singing, acting, comedy, or playing some instrument. Stick with the things you seem to be good at, or are improving quickly at. Don't try stupid stunts, like rock climbing, or skate boarding tricks, that could break your bones, and ruin your chances, at other sports. If you're bad at something, aren't improving quick enough, and you don't enjoy it, quit and look for something you're more suited to. Just don't neglect your schoolwork, because there is a lot less of a competition for getting good grades, than there is for getting to the elite, professional level of any sport, where only the very best, make big money.
This style of video was great, I'd love more as every break different challenges arise and its good to see how you recover from them! Great title also!
I really enjoyed this and well explained as always. Thank you. I think for me personally, it's the challenge of knowing/understanding what to apply on the cue ball to get it to travel to where you want it; e.g. screw, top spin, or just plain-ball. That I'm sure would come with lots of practice and experience.
When you play to pot the black do you aim for the heart of the pocket or do you try and account for cut induced throw etc? Sometimes when lining up using ghost ball the black still misses by going thick which makes my break building inconsistent.
Always aim blacks for the far stitch of the pocket - that's the biggest margin for error. Cut induced throw doesn't even enter my head. It's pointless for a human to work in that way. I just know the potting angles from all the different positions. I never look at think "well this angle is past a certain degree of cut, therefore I need to allow for cut induced throw". A machine could work like that. Humans can't. Hope that helps Matt. And some nice card tricks on your channel. Love watching stuff like that 👍
@@BartonSnooker thanks that’s brilliant-I really appreciate that. Your channel has helped me improve so far I just finding potting the black more difficult than any other ball on the table for some reason.
The way I do it is shot#1 - miss....yell and scream...and sit down while my opponent goes 1, 2, 3...1,2,3...1,2,3...1,2,3 and then i'm racking the balls.
Alan Doody it's easy you start playing someone a lot quicker. You can still play your slow friend but only rare occasions as it's no good for your own game playing he/she.
Excellent demonstration , Barton's playing is truly master class 👍👏💯
This is the best example how people should make their video to explain the game. Thank you a lot.
Thanks!
Excellent + the perfect title. No one could make a better break building video! Only the 'greats' can make it look this easy🙂 Thank you.
Thanks so much! Hope you're good and still enjoying your snooker. How's the new club?

Excellent video. Great to watch the process. Just need to try and replicate this in my own game. Thanks 👍

Just hit an 83 break which is my best.only 12 so I think I can improve more!!
scoring 83 is never easy....
Well played. My best in a frame is 44. 98 in line up. Totally underestimated how tough this game would be. 👍🏼
Rob day cheers.my best on the line up is only 88 so you are doing very well.i get very bored of the line up though

If I had potted the first red, I would have done well 😁. Good video Steve.
Great vid 👌

Could you tell me what are your corner pocket sizes at the most narrowest spot?
The way I do it is shot#1 - miss....yell and scream...and sit down while my opponent goes 1, 2, 3...1,2,3...1,2,3...1,2,3 and then i'm racking the balls.
As always sir❤️
well played
This video should have the shot name with every shot . Stun screw follow etc.
How low on the cue ball do you need to make backspin
As low as you can go without jumping the cue ball 👍
@@BartonSnooker But when I do it it doesn’t work
@@BartonSnooker You are very good at snooker and I am only 17 years old and I love watching you you make me happy
Headcam would be appreciated👍
It's amazing how rarely you use side on the cue ball. I use side on almost all shots and miss huge amounts of them.
สุดยอด
👌👏
I gotta learn how to consistently pot straight balls first lol
🙏💓🌷👌👌👌
Loyk
I play a guy who takes 1-2 min per shot when I play him my game goes to bits how can I get past this
Alan Doody it's easy you start playing someone a lot quicker. You can still play your slow friend but only rare occasions as it's no good for your own game playing he/she.
