Very useful tip about the mindset. The same philosophy works in life as well, do your best and accept the outcome. Thank you.
One of the finest snooker channels on TH-cam. Everytime i watch your videos i improve my own game of snooker. Top class instructions. Great work Steve.
You should be making centuries by now then 😉
thanks Steve, i'm focusing alot on this kind of stuff at the minute to try my best and improve. Love all your videos.
Amazing as always... thank you steve for the effectice tips... my technique has improved alot thanks to you
Steve all your videos are top of the pops and this on straight cueing is fantastic!! Love the information ❤
As always Ian. Thank you so much my friend. You're positive comments and support mean a lot. Thanks 👍👍🙂
I was always a good pub/Club pool and snooker player when I was younger...apart from a few games now and then I never really played for the last 20 years apart from in the pub for a laugh. Last year I bought a 9 foot pool table for my house and subscribed to your channel. I know it's snooker you are teaching but the techniques are the same. I very rarely miss a shot now and if I do it's a lack of concentration. I love your tip on relating to Mark Williams with his eyes shut. It works so well as the way I look at it closing your eyes like you are about to fall asleep is the best way to stay still. Top man Steve.
Feel like the videos on this channel have got a lot better recently
Many thanks 👍🙂
Quality 🔥 First 2 mins is Gold.
YES!, aiming is 90% done once you have position and get down on the table. The last 10% is to check if you're in line and where you're pointing on your cueball. The rest is just to ready yourself and checking if your body is in the right places. Many do not understands this and do "active aiming" on the table. There are rarely any videos on youtube emphasizing on this, and people don't get it!
Great video - I see so many players do ‘chicken wings’ and therefore miss the pot. The mind-set of trusting the straight cueing process and delivering the cue straight is simple, but i accept is not easy to do when under pressure - great video.
Where was this channel 40 years ago when I needed it the most?
PCL 1982-85.
The only snooker player I am a aware of that finishes his cue action after his feathers with a bit of a 'twist' is Judd Trump. He just achieves something different with that cue ball 🙂
Yep he actually straightens it up. On front on shots you would swear he was aiming wrongly but he corrects it at the very moment of execution if you watch the top of his elbow . Works for him obviously.
I think this is goes back to setting yourself up with the pre-shot routine but ultimately being disciplined and adhering to it throughout. Even that tailend of blue, pink and black, noticably, the pros like your John Higgins and O'Sullivan's rarely fall complacent and take for granted.
Very useful indeed 👍👏💯
Great video
Very educating videos thank you.
Wonderful lesson!
Prove of the point that consistency is the result of discipline.
I watched lots of videos and no one provides such wonderful lessons for free.
👍👍👍
Thank you. Great to help 👍🙂
Easily the best coach on TH-cam. Love you videos Steve.
Thanks a lot 👍
Nice work sir keep it up we learn every day and after watch your videos my cue not 100% but almost 80% accurate thanks a lot stay blessed.

As always sir ❤
Thank you 👍👍🙂
Love u broo
Hi Barton,
Thanks for yet another insightful video.
Just a quick question -
What are your thoughts on using gloves for better cueing? Any drawbacks or lack of feel?
Beginner here, it definetly helped improve my billards shots
My issue is that I don’t push through in a straight line especially on power or long shots so I need to know how to increase the chances of straight line cuing. My grip is what is holding me back I think
i like to flick my right leg twice, then wind up super aggresive before i strike the cue. Also i like to tap 3 of my bridge hand fingers randomly while bridging. When delivering the cue, i like to wiggle my hips. it helps me very much.
Great useful video as always. Shoutout from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Hi Steve.Can you give us some advices when the cue ball is press at the cushing just like at 4:40 ? Whenever my bridge hand is uncomfortable i am gonna miss the pot to 95%. Thank you.
I have improved my game lot n lot seeing ur video..but still m not able to bring ma cue ball in proper placing position
I tell u what it is with me steve when I put power on a shot my cue action seems to go wrong in different ways
Can I keep the cue touching my side( is it considered standard way?)while feathering, even upto the execution of the shot to avoid steering? My problems are steering, right foot flicking, I don't keep stay, and bridging. sometimes I play good but sometimes I'm beaten seven balls easily which frustrate me.
* personal question, what do you do do while playing do you keep the cue touching your side or not?
* last question: do you lift the que from behind abit or it's horizontally straight?
best snooker channel ever. 1 silly question if u dont mind. when i delivered my cue to chest, my wrist will knock my chest and there was wobble in the very end shot, is that normal? was that affected cueing straight?
It's fine if the hand hits the chest and wobbles slightly. No problem
Hello Steve. My wrist tends to curl when hitting screw shots.. especially during high pressure. Any way to fix this?
Hi steve ❤ i have never seen you on the world snooker tour playing snooker .. why ??
I'm a novice but adore the game. Cueing is erratic - some straight pots don't happen almost as if there was a lump of dirt on the ball. I think my error is stabbing at the cue ball.
Thi one is super, thanks Steve. ‘Leg flick’, that’s me 🙄
We've all been known to throw a leg flick in 😅
Is it mandatory to rub the cue to your chin ...I'm tall and I don't feel comfortable in every shot...but some shots indo feel like when one leg on table shots..
I feel like sometimes when I pull the cue back the cue is going up slightly on the backswing
i found out i use left side of cue tip to aim. if i use center of cue tip to aim i will hit the cue ball to left.
I favour the Irish Jig after I see the ball rattle in the jaws.
Very wise words. And I like accepting that you can't pot everything - that does take some pressure off. After all, the pros rarely get above 95% pot success. So club players should be happy with 75%?? (three balls out of every four)?
Yeah. 75% is excellent. You're spending a lot more time potting than missing 😀
Even for pros, 90%+ is very high level session, that's rare. 85-89% would be more common.
Potting is by product.
What a thought😊😊😊...
❤
I normaly can play only 1h a day. What should I train for and for how long? Thanks!
1 hour a day is a fantastic amount of time. It all depends what standard you are and what your goals are.
I provide training plans for all my students so they have a detailed plan to follow.
Do you have anything for how to judge how far away from the cue ball you should be before going down on the shot. This feels like an issue that's crept into my game. I feel like I'm sliding along the table too much, Then I try to correct it and more things go wrong. How far forward should you step with the right foot etc. My delivery and cuing is fine but this.... driving me insane. And I've got comp in 2 nights
Stand slightly over 1 cue length away from the cue ball before stepping in. You can very briefly hold your cue out in front of you if you like to measure the distance. Then chalk, and then walk in. Once you've done that for a bit, you'll then no longer need to measure the distance and you'll just 'feel' it.
@@BartonSnooker I'll give it a go and let ya know. Thanks mate!
You post a video on straight cueing but the entire video is on angled shots.
Im struggling in hitting the balls straight both slow and fast, putting angled shots seems fairly easier. I try and hit in the middle as much as i can still doing something wrong. P.s kindly try straight shots not just from one angle. But from borders too. Thanks
Steve I love you videos but feel at times they can offer different advice. For example in this latest one you mention not to worry about potting the ball just put all your focus into technique and the rest will sort itself out, yet in other video’s you mention to change the priority list to potting the ball first, and another video mentions it isn’t your cue action why you miss its angle recognition. It call all get a bit confusing to follow! I do really enjoy your videos and hope you keep them coming, regards, Steve. A
Hi Steve, can you please advise on where to look after the balls have struck? I'm an object ball player and have been advised to keep eyes on area where the balls have left. However, I believe this may be hindering my progress in learning the direction of the cue ball. Cheers
You are correct. I look at the object ball, and then track it with my eyes to the pocket. Always track the object ball 👍
Ok, so how do you learn the way the cue ball moves?
@@claspuse3167 by watching it and then learning if it went where you expected. If it didn't, make an adjustment and try again.
Cheers Steve 🙂
I'm wondering about the 90 degree that you have explained at the beginning of your video
The angle you've created was from the line of aim
But I think it have to be created from the other line to the pocket
Correct me if I'm wrong
Both are right. White line indicate movement of the cue ball and red line indicate movement of the object ball. Stun allows cueball to move 90' from the red line on the moment of impact.
You're right yes. My video editor does all the animations so it is slightly out, but close enough that it makes no difference.
But yes, 90 degrees relative to the line the object ball takes to the pocket 👍
@@calvinandakjozef but the other line that created that 90 degree is drwan from the white line not the red one in the video
And the path of the cue ball after potting the object ball is totally different if we draw a line from the red one to create that 90 degree
@@BartonSnooker thanks sir ❤️
I hope that you can explain to us more advanced topics
I'd like to learn more about table geometry 🙏
You can instantly tell if someone's a regular snooker player when they have a shot on the cushion
Hey steve why don't you take part in international snooker?😊
Too old 😩
Oh 😳
@@tahaahmad1938 I'm 39 now. I was too old by the time I was good enough. I was about 33-34 years old.
I can't afford to spend 5-6 hours a day playing snooker to be sharp. So I focussed my time on helping other people achieve a very high standard of snooker 👍
@@BartonSnooker that's so unfortunate my friend 😔
@@tahaahmad1938 well, I love helping other players, so I'm fortune to be able to use my snooker skills to help other people 👍🙂
