This guy is amazing, I'm thankful for him. I've been looking hi and low for detailed intelligent guidance on the grip. I've even paid " certified teachers " none of which made it clear on the grip. The snooker teacher vs pool teachers. Snooker teachers are in a class of there own. My point I'm ranting about is this, not one person or teacher I ran into mentioned what I knew was missing the " constant " part of the grip and where my pointer finger should be. Everyone seemed to know where my thumb should point but not the pointer finger. Thank you Barry Stark from a A- player, hoping this little tweak will unlock my next level.
Finally got a new cue after 30 years with the old one! . Plays very different with a it being longer, a bit more weight and the balance a little more to the butt but I'm loving it. The extra length gives allows me to play less with the rest which is my weak spot. Now what was it Barry was saying about cueing correctly....
i been getting 2 work on that grip, im now striking the cueball with effortless power, it feels strange right now but im going 2 stick 2 it, and hopefully improve
Barry never mentions how to stop the cue dropping on delivery (tip rising) at 5:26 with the guy in glasses. Would be great to know how barry would resolve that. Please let me know🙏🏼
Hi Barry, may I ask one question please? When you said bring the chest on the cue, what is the reason behind this? Does it mean the cue has to be touching the chest when you do the feathers and/or playing the shot? Thanks a lot.
I've been looking for a new cue for 6 months. I've been to snooker shops in Sheffield and Worksop, UK (Chesworths, Cue Craft) and tried many but in the end found one from a friend who was selling. The problem is, a cue will just feel right in your hand and on the shot. Always try the cue for a while before buying.
hi can i ask for some help here. im having a little problem with my cue action because when i follow through shot my hand will hit the chest then go past the chest. wonder if that is good or bad cause some people says that its good some say you stop at the chest.....i don't know what to do.
it depends on where you move your butt when you align for a shot, if you throw it back you will hit the chest but if you throw it south west you should not hit your chest, see how the women align their body so they dont hit their breasts
not knocking the guy but it's a myth that the chest touching the cue is essential for good snooker. it can help a player with issues involving stability and that's all.
Most have their chins on the cue, and lots have it against their chest. Neither is essential to playing good regular 100+ break snooker. Coaching people as though they're an elite player is wrong.
He actually addressed this issue on his channel, and you are right it is done to help with stability. He also pointed out two cuing techniques: pendulum(to the chest) and driving(lowering elbow and going passed the chest). Both are valid. One works for some ... and second for others. But starting by playing to chest is a good guideline to getting better. You can change it in the future if you feel the need.
I know this video is old but I wanted to ask something about the grip, do I use this grip techniques in all sort of shots or only when I need a power shot?
Use the same grip in all situations where possible. Consistency is key. Same approach to the table, same number of addresses to the cue ball, same grip etc.
he was perfect up until he said curing the cue coming up and down on the backswing, the cue will naturally rise up on the backswing then follow down on parallel to the table after the shot has been played. But to try and level it at all times is terrible because it allows for a mis hit, if raised then dropped onto parallel it allows for a straighter and easier chance of cueing and correct hit, but everything else he's saying is pretty good

Barry is a fantastic coach. I enjoy his teaching technique very much. So much knowledge and so simply spoken to make sure it all gets through
Barry is a genius. His teachings were an inspiration to me and the team.

Hi ALS, You cold try playing on a 3 quarter table which is a bit easier or american pool which is becoming very popular.
How can i purchase a good stick?

My rule is rather simple and difficult to do for most - don't attempt to bend the cue .
Very good!
4:55 = how ambulance sounds when Im having hypoglycemia. I swear.
I say , do what feels comfortable to you and just practice your shot making. No one way is right for all.

Actually, if you look at the professionals, most of them have their chins on the cue as well.

All shots, the opening of the hand is to keep the cue parallel. Why wouldn’t you want the cue parallel?
Use the same grip in all situations where possible. Consistency is key. Same approach to the table, same number of addresses to the cue ball, same grip etc.

What was that abomination of a sound on 4:55 ?

It's funny how he doesn't practice what he preaches. 7:32....right hand
