3:50 a.m. here in Storm Lake, Iowa, United States where my dad and i regularly play 10 reds on our standard table! I don't know why I can't fall asleep, but at least I'll get to watch this when it's brand new!
Hi, I have a suggestion. Consider increasing the volume of your voice in the editor, I find that it is lower than most other youtube channels, which is slightly annoying. Also, sometimes your voice can be slightly drowned out by other sound effects, especially when you are doing the talking from across the table (as opposed to doing a post production voiceover). Increasing the overall volume of your voice would help here as well, and if you have the time, you could try upping the volume of those specific parts where youre talking across the table even more.
I do both, tying into what he said about your body tensing and skewing on shots you don’t like. On angles I’m comfortable with, I look at the object ball. On angles I’m not great with (thin cuts as an example) where I have a tendency to put side on and cue across to ‘steer’ the ball (which usually means I miss) I look at the cue ball
I think everyone knows where to hit the object ball, but their eye movement gets in the way. Most people have to much eye movement from cue ball to object ball, back and forth way to much. Comes a point when you have to trust your hand/eye coordination. By nature your hand will go where your eyes are looking ( cue is an extension of your hand ). When addressing the shot look at where you need to hit the object ball and continue looking at object ball as you put your bridge hand down and you are now in your stance. Look at cue ball to ensure where you want to hit the cue ball for any English you intend to use. Now look at the object ball and pull cue back and follow through. Practice this for several hundred shots, until it becomes natural to be looking at object ball on the last backstroke and follow through. Then you can begin to use a prestroke routine. The prestroke is not to aim with, but it is to keep your arm and hand lose. If you cannot control the cue stick, make your prestroke only a few short strokes. Make sure your grip hand is hanging down at about a 90 degree angle. Don't tilt you wrist up or under, just let it hang straight down. Watch the pros eyes on you tube, there is very very little movement. Until you trust your hand/eye coordination to a point of being comfortable with looking at the object ball, you will never get past a B player. , no matter how much you practice and play. You have to get comfortable keeping your eyes on the target on the object ball.
I absolutely love your videos and appreciate all the work you've done. What I've done to help my game here is to place the tip of the cue right where the ghost ball should be and then walk with stick in hand over to the cue. Rather elementary but it helped with seeing the correct angle and improved my game.
Can you start adding small compilations of just you playing cool shots n snooks at the end of your videos? I KNoW you have mad footage terabytes of it😀 iam a huge fan I don’t know if you can recognise me but stilll😇
Always can't seem to get the middles right, always seem to hit the far jaw. Especially when I'm playing up table (towards baulk) It's like I'm scared of hitting the near jaw, and over compensate. Drives me nuts lol
Our club has two heated tables and two non-heated tables. Obviously that makes the heated tables much faster, but otherwise, conditions are the same. The balls and cloths are the same age and have about the same amount of use, the lighting is the same and they're in the same room so have the same atmospheric conditions. But I'm almost certain that any hit less than half ball, the object ball runs away slightly "thicker" on the slower tables. I know you don't have the means to test it, but is this a known phenomenon, or entirely my imagination?
90% of people that play aren't that good (myself included lol), nothing wrong with the players, it's just most people don't have the sheer time or table access it takes to get really good at snooker. So you can easily get to a position where you can win games at your local and have a fun time, without a doubt.
The biggest problem im having is i am constantly hitting the ball too thick... Every time... Too thick and i just dont know what to do about (dont say aim thinner)
can you please make a video in detail on how to aim properly while standing and while down example: when to look at the pocket, should we be looking at the pocket directly, or it should be in background /prepheral vision , while standing and while down etc i could not find this video any where on youtube please reply tnx
Why do you never talk about leaving room for the white ball when taking a shot? You might line up the shot perfectly but if you don't leave that tiny little but of room for the white then your never gonna pot it.
When i started playing a year ago, i would put probably 2/10 blacks off the spot. I practiced it relentlessly and ive memorised the angle somewhat, and i pot it a lot more. But a blue off the spot, unless its nearly straight, i can not pot to the middle. I have got better on the black and worse on the blue 🤣
When are you playing a frame and interview with Stephen Hendry? Let's get the channel crossover!
Would be good possibly Barton Snooker in November
@@Breakfromlife that's amazing news!

Well I’m glad you did anyway
very good lesson, very impressed because many beginner don't know the ball fraction before.
Came across this channel by chance. Excellent content. Please keep it coming! Dr Zed (Hale, UK)
I learn lot of things from this channel i improved my snooker skills from this channel ❤

I like you mate. Your videos helped my pool game quite a bit. Sadly, this video proves my low peak is still a peak. I will just switch to walking now.

Great tips!!
Will you ever try Stephen Hendry’s tough table challenge? ❤
I did got 80 something
@@Breakfromlife As if!!! Are the pockets quite generous? I’ll try and find it :)
@@Taylor___ probably, also it was when he first did it so didn’t know I was limited to 2 attempts
Hi, could you please let me know what type of cue tip you use?thanks
Do you look at the pocket to check the angle then? Great video.
Excellent stuff💯🍀🚀
You should make a video of playing frames with another player in a club with headcam
Probably should but everyone I know if frightened to go on camera
It’s good advice this. Do you look at cue ball or object ball?
Object ball but I know lots of players look at the CueBall

Brilliant but could do with more clarity/volume on the voice track please
I might have got a microphone since this video. Either that or got used to adjusting it better

It reminds me how Jimmy White missed the black ball in the 1994 championship.

It might be right
Is it too late to take up snooker and get decent enough to have good games at club level in my mid 20s?
no, im 26 and started playing a month ago, highest break is 22.. getting better every week. :)
