You and Barton snooker are by the far the best tips channels for beginners and amateurs. The pro's channels are good entertainment, but i don't think they get these fundamentals across. Perhaps they are so advanced that they take these things for granted.
yeah, I Noticed Shaun Murphy has been uploading some stuff recently. The thing that’s not easy is getting the camera in the right place to show something and taking time to edit it making sure it makes sense. i’d be surprised if a lot of them actually took enough time to show this as it takes quite awhile
@@Breakfromlife All that effort is reflected in the number of subs you have, and the attention gained from the pros. You'd probably make a good coach (if you aren't already). Keep up the good work!
Cheers for this mate Helped me in different areas Still working out where to aim when putting side on.. getting there.. great channel Cheers. Phil in Perth WA. 👍🏻
All this stuff is obviously great for Blackball pool to in the UK. Might be fun to see you use some pool balls, or even do some stuff on a UK pool table l)
Sensible advice. I've played in some snooker clubs where your foot sticks to the floor and to move it, takes a lot of strength. Once you get your position right, then make any small changes to suit your style. I have a plate in my neck which fuses 3 of the 7 neck vertebrae, which makes my head position slightly different.
@Breakfromlife It is not too bad looking forward, when you look sideways to see where you want the cue ball to go. I tend to look more before getting settled.
Great content, but i have always wondered if i play the exact same shot twice , am i standing nearer or further from the cue ball, so i am asking is their a way of making sure i am standing the same distance from the cue ball ? hope that makes sense.
if you mark where the balls are for a specific shot. You can possibly put a piece of cardboard down on the floor and see if you play a few times where your feet end up. i’ve tried this before and each time was in a completely different position
Your lessons and tips r my fav!

Nice timing, just about to hit the snooker club in 2 hours, thanks for your amazing content🎉
hope it all went well
@Breakfromlife i had fun, made a 20 break (my record is 37 😄)
My God, a video that tells me all the things I'm doing wrong. I knew there are a lot, but I couldn't work out what they are. THANK YOU.
glad it helps
Very informative tips like always. Could you share some tips about using the rest in the next videos? Like foot position, aiming etc...
@@andy0777 I’ll have to do the rest at some point
exciting

that must be a bit awkward

Allah this needs is practice practice and break from life lessons.
What about curving your spine for posture as you approach ,the square approach doesn’t work for me
yeah, I tried to make this as general as I could, but not all of it will work for everybody
What make is your cue??
It’s a Frank Callan 100 series Are Stephen Hendry told me it had nothing to do with his former coach
Is tapping the ring finger acceptable?
Sounds really barbaric to me… 😮
yes, but more difficult
Tapping the finger keeps the muscles relaxed by taking away the focus on the grip arm.
I find it can help with the timing as well or just stopping you playing the shot too quickly
Do you have to do it consciously? I thought it was an involuntary reflex?
@@bgk7 A bit of both. You start consciously but it gets a reflex
I always feel more comfortable holding the grip tight though i know its not correct
yeah, pretty much everybody does something that isn’t perfect and quite often you wouldn’t be able to do it any other way
