Brilliant ideas! I've been struggling with alignment problems for years, but I think the steel ball and the cap will help me. I've been subscribed to your channel for a few months and it's really helping me, love your videos! From Ned in Shanghai, China.
Brilliantly simple idea of the 52 mm square to check aiming. Undoubtedly one of your best and simplest suggestions; I’ve seen some ghost ball aiming devices but this takes five minutes to make on any PC with publisher and then the vertical line on the square becomes the target. Even after a tiny bit of practice setting shots up it encourages you to get your eyes ‘up’ at the end of the backswing onto the target. Much easier also to walk in on the line of aim when you’re approaching a square target. Brilliant stuff!!
What a bloomin good video...the cap with the string is class...so long as nobody up my local club sees me!! Isnt the string a bit bendy tho to get a straight picture?
Some brilliant tips here. One observation, would a fine jewellers chain work better than a piece of wobbly string ? ... or maybe a small weight on the bottom of the string to straighten it up ?
You could get a pair of glasses with Cross Hairs printed on them and will help you see the spot to shoot at. But what eye do u use the left or right bcos there will be 2 cross hairs and one will be aiming at the ceiling and one at the ball.
This is one of your best vids yet especially the "aiming paper" I just paid $23 aud for from cue zone for basically the same thing. Personally I found it works great with almost shots the cut shots not as good but then that could be just me.
I hadn’t noticed before that it was recoding about 3/10s of a second out. Must have been the camera am just adjusting it at the most but will have to find out what’s wrong
That steel ball is exactly what the doctor ordered for me and am thinking if I use an old ball I can buy some chrome paint and, well, paint it. Not as good as that steel ball for reflecting probably but it could do the trick.
when I used to practise a lot I did the bottle thrill, made and insale good on brakes in pool (8-ball 9-ball 10-ball) really a killer thrill if you just want to hit straight to the middle of the ball with insane force :D at some point I was so good the cue ball just bounced 20cm to the air just to land straight to the middle of the table, almost every time!! Oh yeah, I used to do the bottle thrill so that I will hit thrue the bottle and trying to hit dead senter to the bottom of the bottle :D workd like magic on my brakes :D
I have another thing I use, it's a plumb line tied to the cue, the idea being when down on the correct line the bottom of the plumb line should be over your walk in foot.
hey... looking at the best players my theory is that they are far more likely to cue directly under, or very close to an eye rather than midway between them. I have been practising with one eye closed and I seem to play much better that way
Maybe I'm being a bit of a thicko here, but here's my question. How does practicing straight cueing with a reflective ball bearing get applied? "Your break mate....uhh, what you doing?" "Nothing... just swapping the cue ball for my special practice ball"
Hoping someone can help. I play pool (to a pretty decent standard), but I play with my chin a few inches from the cue and I know I don't hit the white straight. I've tried to put my chin against the cue but it doesn't feel comfortable at all. Is it some I should perseve with?
Great stuff! I use to practice my stroke through a ring. I like the toilet paper roll idea for shooting a ball when practicing. I'm going back to the basics so this video was very useful thank you. What is your opinion on lining up with bad eyes? Meaning for me my left eye is better. Even with contacts or glasses my right eye can not get to 20/20. The best it can get is something like 20/30. Using your string on a hat method should my string still hit the stick or should I position my left (better) eye closer to center? So in my case should the string fall slightly to the right of my cue to favor my left eye or keep both centered? I'm 44, been playing since a kid and still trying to figure that one out.

Great man! You're a genius! The square paper idea is just amazing, and efficient! Each one in fact. But the paper is phenomenal! Congrats!
totallyyy awesommmeeee.....now am obsessed with cueing.....thaks a lot ..from andhra pradesh, india
Thanks this really helped me with my cueing I’m watching from Monaghan Ireland.

Dont even need PC and publisher and printer.
Take paper, ruler, scissors, pen.
Mix them together make a mess and get better at aiming

Could you make a video about advice for buying a snooker table please, watching from mayo Ireland
Great video! Ironing boards make great practice tables. Macca from Congleton Cheshire.
Brilliant advice thanks, that's another sub for you..
Awesome, thank you!
Hello there from Kyiv, Ukraine
Great useful videos! From Louis in Combe Martin.
He's got balls of steel. Not everyone can say that.
That steel ball is exactly what the doctor ordered for me and am thinking if I use an old ball I can buy some chrome paint and, well, paint it. Not as good as that steel ball for reflecting probably but it could do the trick.
A small weight on that string would help.
Getting a fishing line weight might do the job.
I was thinking some of that ball chain you see hanging from lights.
I'd love to see someone roll up to the World Championships with a toilet roll, paper target and a silly string hat!
