Sensei, that was excellent ! Your discipline, dedication to improve on your skills and devotion to the game must be cited as the best example to us amateurs !! I am very proud of you !!! 👏👏💪
Very very good! I know the pros only get a few attempts with this and no doubt you've tried this many times but to do it all in one take with a total clearance is very impressive. Great to see your channel doing so well 👌
Aliasger, thank you for your comment! I appreciate your request, but since I don’t speak English, creating detailed technical videos would result in text-heavy content, which might be hard to follow. There are many coaches who have already uploaded great videos on these topics, so I think watching those would be more efficient. Also, my stance and grip might differ from the standard techniques, so I’m not sure they would be a good reference for you. Thank you for your understanding!
Excellent clearance showing good cue ball control but the best part was how you managed to finish all the reds and then open up the closed ones! Congratulations and I think you should contact someone from Stephen hendry’s team to show him you clearance.
Thank you for your comment, Tasty Chai! There are a few others who have posted videos of clearing the table as well. However, I only speak Japanese, so I don’t think that will happen. 😓
Happy New Year bro! What a way to start it by doing the Tough Table Challenge and getting the century clearance!! And yet you don't become a professional after that??? 🤔
@@mzzzzz2179 If top players took it seriously, I think some of them could achieve the clearance within 10 attempts. It took me over 1,000 tries though 😭.

Hi Mang Ning, Happy New Year! I often get asked about my frequent use of slight side spin. The following is purely my personal perspective on side spin, so it might not be entirely correct. There are four main purposes for using side spin, listed in order of importance: 1. To alter the angle of the cue ball after it rebounds from a cushion. 2. To curve the cue ball and change its path. 3. To slightly adjust the cue ball's path after it strikes the object ball. 4. To slightly adjust the object ball's path after the cue ball strikes it, controlling the amount of "throw" (Helping Side). When there’s no cushion or curve involved, I use side spin (e.g., left spin when the cue ball needs to rebound to the left) on angled shots because: It allows me to aim at a thicker contact point. It slightly reduces the amount of throw, which can make the potting angle more stable. This technique is called "Helping Side." Here are a couple of videos explaining it: Barry Stark Snooker Coach th-cam.com/video/Dfo_2qAXnaw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BarryStarkSnookerCoach Michael Holt Snooker Coaching th-cam.com/video/WS7wtFQyf5g/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching However, I don't consciously use Helping Side; it’s entirely subconscious. Depending on the angle, I naturally find myself aiming with that cue point. I believe this habit was developed over years of playing billiards. In fact, even players who think they’re striking the center of the cue ball often unintentionally use slight side spin depending on the angle. Because of this, I can’t recommend any specific practice methods for it. I suggest not being too rigid about always striking the center of the cue ball in the beginning. Instead, focus on understanding which impact point works best for certain angles to make potting easier. As the coaches in the videos mention, not all professional players use side spin. Some prefer striking the center of the cue ball. This technique isn’t universally recommended-it’s important to experiment and find what works best for your own style and preference.

Amazing effort! I hope Stephen Hendry sees this. Love watching from your point of view! Keep uploading. 🙏
Thank you for your comment, Lewis Kirk! I'll do my best! I'd be thrilled if Stephen Hendry saw this, but well, that's probably not going to happen 😅

your edits are a benchmark for other channels, showing your plan and actual execution

Thank you for your comment, Nakul Gandhi! It's true that starting to open the reds early is crucial; otherwise, a clearance becomes very difficult.
yo, that was sick. i only get the chance to play pool here in the US. cool perspective! also hope Hendry sees this lol
Thank you for the comment, l_d! There aren't many places to play snooker in Japan, but I was lucky to have this environment nearby.
Outstanding! Congratulations. Stephen Hendry should watch this and invite you for an interview.
Thank you, PapaidoDeki e Kin! I can't speak English, so that would be difficult 😅.
Amazing stuff bro congrats!
Thank you very much, Jonathan Konoi!
And very nice editing with cueball and objectball in the lower left corner, i have not seen anyone else on youtube edit like that keep it up!
Thank you! Editing can be quite challenging, so I don't upload very frequently, but I'll do my best!
I felt that satisfaction with that sigh in the end.
I missed several times when I was so close, so I felt really relieved the moment I managed to make the clearance.
Excellent cue ball control mate 😂 HNY from Thailand ❤️
Thank you for your comment, Ladkrabang Bored Pile! And Happy New Year from Japan! 😊🙏
❤ amazing
❤️ Thank you
Nice break. I don’t know of anyone who has scored a 100+ in this challenge. Time to send the video link to Hendry. Maybe he’ll have you on his show.
Thank you for your comment, Tasty Chai! There are a few others who have posted videos of clearing the table as well. However, I only speak Japanese, so I don’t think that will happen. 😓
@ he can always get a translator.
Do you think he’d go that far? 😓 For now, I’ll just focus on practicing so I don’t embarrass myself. 💦
@@Sasa_snooker only Hendry can answer that. In any case you’d have to travel there and you’d need an interpreter.
Well, that all sounds like too much trouble. 😓
Very good bro good luck
Thank you very much, soheil kakaei
that's excellent work from you, you should play some tournament as well
Thank you, Muhammad Zayd! Participating in overseas tournaments can be quite expensive just to travel from Japan, so it's a bit challenging for me.
@@Sasa_snooker I understand that but i really hope Stephen Hendry saw this video
If that happens, I would be really happy.
Good perfomance ❤
Thank you, ick yt ❤
Great 🎉

As I mentioned in the description, I was able to do it after countless tries. It's not at the level of the Main Tour.

hi Sasa, happy new year!
May I ask, why you use side for almost every single shot? is there any particular reason for it? Thanks
Hi Mang Ning, Happy New Year!
I often get asked about my frequent use of slight side spin.
The following is purely my personal perspective on side spin, so it might not be entirely correct.
There are four main purposes for using side spin, listed in order of importance:
1. To alter the angle of the cue ball after it rebounds from a cushion.
2. To curve the cue ball and change its path.
3. To slightly adjust the cue ball's path after it strikes the object ball.
4. To slightly adjust the object ball's path after the cue ball strikes it, controlling the amount of "throw" (Helping Side).

This technique is called "Helping Side." Here are a couple of videos explaining it:

However, I don't consciously use Helping Side; it’s entirely subconscious. Depending on the angle, I naturally find myself aiming with that cue point. I believe this habit was developed over years of playing billiards. In fact, even players who think they’re striking the center of the cue ball often unintentionally use slight side spin depending on the angle.
