- Here is a short video on Snooker sighting methods. An illustrated guide on how to sight the shot. You must commit to the potting angle and then see how that relates to the actual line of aim.
This is a guide and there are many facets involved. This is my own take on what I feel is necessary to play any shot on the table and this is my approach.
How to improve your game and get the most out of your Snooker. Lots of Training exercises and drills to help you. Plus other helpful hints and tips to improve your playing experience.

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!!!

On some shots I tend to lose focus and intentionally drift the focus onto around the middle of the shot (the area between cue ball and object ball), so my eyes don't influence my arm.
It's a good idea to find the exact point on the object ball that must be struck, along with the exact spot the white needs to be in order to make the pot.
Then you look again at the pot spot and keep your eye on it until you address the cue ball - making sure you are hitting it in the exact place you want - then usually I keep my eyes on the contact point = I think this is not the way to go, because on some shots the contact is more than half ball and I can steer it in, which is a bad habit.
Maybe you're right - look at the cue ball rather than the object ball.
I will give this a go, cheers in advance if it works and I want my money back if it doesn't! 😁
when i am down on the shot i normally cue with center chin, but when i do the dominant eye test, and holding a pen towards an object bring toward my face, that pen hits my right chin. should i trust my normal chin position or the pen test result? thank you very much
You are probably already in the correct position by preference. Get a friend to check before you change anything.
i always thought coaches said eyes on the object ball as you strike the cue ball . This video seems to suggest the reverse . Any advice would be welcome
It's the age old debate. The majority of players are Object ball strikers. However, some of us prefer Cueball. It's purely down to personal preference really.
What about long,length of the table shot? You cant superimpose the cue ball on an object ball that far down the table and find the perfect perspective without guessing the angle then. Close up, yes this works but don't see how for shots more than 8 feet away ,how this can not be prone to guesswork. Guesswork doesn't lead to consistency I suppose?
Unless we use the cue stick as the line of the shot while walking in. So then, the best way to line up the shot would be to use the cue as a line right?
The cue will always find the shot line. Especially on longer distance shots. Provided it is still centre of the cueball.
Great vid, many players including myself make the mistake of eyeing where the contact will be made which can make your cue go off the line of aim. Correct me if Im wrong.
Great soundtrack too btw.
What ball do you look at when getting down into your stance?
Primarily the cue ball and locate the potting angle of the object ball, so both together.
So this aiming system is based on half, quarter etc ball contact rather than point contact??
Any potting angle. As the video shows. Once you choose the potting angle, commit to it. Whether it be full, half, or quarter ball. Works especially well with thin edges.
Great work Mr Seabridge, you're the best💪
