Yes bro,I agree..even they're not on 'the paper' as a pro player..they probably will win in a small event with their talent..they just only don't wanna be famous..we call them as the 'snooker hackers'..I would like to be like them😀
hey, I'd just like to say I'm a 16 year old snooker player that has been told they have potential and the ambition to become pro. If I can't get to play on a table on a day, then all I do is sit back and watch the magic you produce which has actually taught me a few things just from watching your videos. I promise that if I ever become pro, I'll shout you out! Thank You
That's a very nice thing to say :) Keep practicing and try to learn from the better players you come up against. Form can come and go but if you hang in there anything is possible. Good Luck.
I was thinking , looking at you play your very still at the cue ball with not much feathering also the selection of power on each shot to get the white where you need, tips and taps and angles seem rearly consistent, I’ve had a 9.5 tip 19.1oz 58”for a while now and it’s always in my head that I’m not getting use to it, last week I bought a cheap price to clear £30 10mm cue 18.6oz 57” rearly good cue for price and I’ve noticed how better I’ve been potting in practice feeling alot more comfortable hitting the centre of the white and slight sides bottom and top, making breaks round the 50 mark which I’ve not done for a long time, you don’t need a long back swing just medium will do to push the white round the table, that old saying less is more and it works fine,keep the vids coming I’ve learnt a lot in a short time, keep them coming thanks 👍
andy singleton It's around 57 inches and 24 Oz, far too heavy for most players but I messed around getting weight added to it years ago and it suits me now. It's not a great cue though and I've bought others through the years but always came back to this one. Most of these videos were made a few years ago. I've stopped making them now but there is one more which I haven't made public yet. Thanks for the interest.
Brilliant mate!, my highest break is 40, lol (5xRed, 5x Black) and the positioning was just fortunate. I guess you will be appearing at the Crucible long before me!
Cheers! Those breaks were from a few years ago. Strangely I can't play to that standard now. I could blame it on bad eyesight and just not playing as much but I think everyone goes downhill eventually.
Black for 23, did you overhit it or did you want to play for the red to the middle? I watch breaks trying to guess what you're playing for to learn to think better about the shots.
Have to get one of those cammy things, maybe then I'll be able to make these breaks ! ( joke ). Seriously though, looks like a good idea for training purposes, it certainly shows your cueing skills.
So talk us through your cue action here. Never seen one so short, but you seem so effective. Did you shorten it? Was it always this short? Have you tried longer? If it's not broke don't fix it? What's the story? Cool video!
It is on the short side but I think the camera angle makes it appear shorter than it really is. I've tried longer but it gets to a point where I lose control of the cue and I've always had cue power so I don't really need a longer action.
Very compact cueing 6 inches at most but when you think about it makes sense alot less can go wrong, do you make a conscience decision to play this way, thanks
It's just natural, I've tried longer but I get some cue wobble which doesn't inspire confidence. On genuine power shots I try to lengthen it slightly though.
NHK23 It can on short range shots, around the pink and black etc. However a longer backswing definitely helps on power shots as a shorter swing can be a little jerky on such shots.
This is a brilliant effort. May I request to please add the slow motion of the shots as well, apart from the zoomed video portions on left, that will help the viewer a lot to improve players like me. I must say this is one of the best way to learn by watching and thanks for the video
The pockets are just standard club size but they always look bigger on the headcam. Some shots dropped which normally wouldn't but you get that sometimes. Cheers :)
I saw u seldom use side, is that my eye problem or what 😂😂but look u play is juz lik so easy, my higher break is juz only 33, nice video and keep it up
I've found using side harder to judge in recent years. Seems to be throwing the cue ball offline more now so I miss more pots. More practice may fix that though. Thanks for watching.
Sometimes its not just stance which causes the problem but try to keep the back leg straight and in line with the shot. You could also try cueing with the cue brushing your side throughout the shot as it can help keep it on line. Above all stay as still as possible on the shot.
Nice break but u keep stunning off the cushion for the black when u don't need to just soft screw would get the white in the sa.e place,also u had a shot on the black were u run it round 2 cushions and u was always on a difficult red which u potted in the middle the shot was a stun left hand side for red in same pocket as black . But good break and good luck to u if I was coaching u id improve your game bye at least 30 points I'd improve your cue action so u would actually enjoy playing some shots im sure your avoiding gl to u m8
Hello,, need tips about my cue tip, I am mostly used blue diamond tip 10mm but when retip some weeks I could not play well because too much spin of cue ball and I cannot make the perfect angle , suggest me , go for a hard tip and which brand,,thanks
I use mostly blue diamond but they are not always the same quality. In a box of ten, six or seven could be very good but the others not so good. I tried talisman and I liked them but they split after a couple of months and are expensive. It's difficult to guarantee a good tip, sometimes it just comes down to luck.
Wow, what an amazing clearance. Honestly, watching you play made my day. I love playing snooker and I want my son to play too but he's only five months old. If you're ever in Birmingham, please drop by. I have my own table.
@@bottlecap57 Aaaaand neither did he. FWIW i think it usually refers to skills such as shot selection (including use of spin), break-building and creativity
Yes you need a very big room for a full size table, at least 24 ft x 18 ft i reckon. I don't have my own table but i live very close to the club I play in and the conditions are great.
For a full size snooker table, balls and a decent cue i guess you would be paying well over a thousand pounds. Ofcourse it all depends on what quality you want. The best tables are probably 4 or 5 thousand. You would also need a lot of space around the table so your room would need to be at least 25ft by 20ft.
The Snookerist You must be joking! A top table is £25k. Riley are selling one for £35k. But included in the price is Ronnie O'Sullivan coming to your house to play on it with you. They only made 10 of them. One is Ronnie's personal practice table. 4 have been sold and 5 remain for sale.
I didn't want to scare him by quoting 20 grand upwards. I'm not an expert on table prices but I imagine 5 grand would buy a table that would satisfy the majority. It may well be second hand but would do the job.
Hard to say. Ive been playing with the same cue for 15 years so I'm not sure what's around now. Generally if a cue is straight and fairly smooth then its playable. Some of the cheaper cues don't have a good feel though. Normally they're too light and don't have a solid feel when you play a shot. Having said that ive played the odd frame with brand new club cues and they've been okay. You could take a look on Amazon. There's loads on there, even for cheap bastards ;))
I just bought a peradon cue for 137 quid. I can recommend john parrot cue sports site though I've purchased 2 cues from there, one a few years ago or more for UK 8 ball with a 7.5mm tip which was a peradon cue also. But they do have cheaper cues on there give it a google!
129 is fantastic especially at 14. I never set out to make a 147 until I was 47 ( strangely enough ) and had already been playing for over 30 years. With practice anything is possible :)
i noticed you using a half joint snooker cue, not too many ppl using half joint one except for 9 balls, what brand of your cue? it's custormized or buy that from a billiard supply store?
I've always used half joint cues as they're easier to travel with. This one is customised with a forward weight balance which makes cushion bridging shots easier. Its a powerglide cue which cost about £200 including customisation but its getting old now so i may be looking for a new one.
You are Talented sir, Enjoyed it fully, and those Magnifications were just fabulous Tons of learning,
A wonderful teacher you are this way
Thanks a lot.
Really enjoy your Headcam , can learn many !!
You remind me a little bit of Jimmy White with the speed of your play.
With your talent I'm sure you can keep up with the big boys!
Really good mate. You are so good.
one of best video for learning Snooker...
thanks buddy 😘😎
What a beautiful break!!!!
Thanks. Wish I could still play like that.
Wow! you make it look like you do this everyday! Best wishes.
absoloute masterclass, the people that have given a thumbs down have probably never made more than a 10 break. lol
Thanks👍 Yeah, some people are very hard to please or maybe just a little jealous.☺️
Yes bro,I agree..even they're not on 'the paper' as a pro player..they probably will win in a small event with their talent..they just only don't wanna be famous..we call them as the 'snooker hackers'..I would like to be like them😀
Great ! Thank you for the show and the teaching !
Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is amazing

Awesome played! I like the first person view, it helps.
Yes its a good way to learn. I take a look at the video sometimes to see where I could improve.
By seen ।। Looks very easy। । Today I am tried hard with ease as you।। Feeling better then eirlier। Thanks a lot। 😘🤗☀️

The Snookerist Thank you, I'll make sure I do it. Keep doing what your doing because others than me, your inspiring learners to succeed mate.
When playing a shot with side spin do you adjust for deflection? For instance in your thumbnail image would you aim half a ball to the right of red?
Yes, that's how I do it 👍
well finished!
Excellent playing..... marvelous....
Thanks yeah, playing well in those days..
fantastic break , like king Ronnie O'Sullivan
Thanks, I wish I had his money ;)
surely it will be very wanted , me , you and every body wish this
Trust me...pressure is whats gonna screw you up.
Pressure screws everyone up...
The Snookerist why not,you can Play vs him
I'm left handed as wel where did you align your body is it middle of object ball or edge or in the aiming line of OB.??beginner's here

Very good control ball
You are good player
Thanks, I try my best.
I would have been bankrupt by now if this guy played in my club

you r awesome! buddy, learn a lot from you....
I saw this video of you and got a chance to learn something
I am sure you could turn pro.
Thanks for the video.

Simply wow
good stuff
Don't know how many of you noticed him, liking a little right-hand side on 90% of his shots.
Very useful.
4:25 wow!!!
It’s true left handed players are great potters
Good job
Brilliant
That's exactly how I cue and make rallys of 60+
Well played
Black for 23, did you overhit it or did you want to play for the red to the middle? I watch breaks trying to guess what you're playing for to learn to think better about the shots.
Tried a holding cannon on one of the reds at the edge of the pack but used too much side
Have to get one of those cammy things, maybe then I'll be able to make these breaks ! ( joke ). Seriously though, looks like a good idea for training purposes, it certainly shows your cueing skills.
Yes its probably the best way to see how youre cueing and how still you can stay on the shot. Even more fun in slow mo....
So talk us through your cue action here. Never seen one so short, but you seem so effective. Did you shorten it? Was it always this short? Have you tried longer? If it's not broke don't fix it? What's the story?

Awesome! Your are really good.
ສຸດຍອດ👍👍👍👍👍
คุณสุดยอดมากครับบบบย
Awesome video, love the first break
Thanks, I enjoyed making these :)
Just wondering if shorter back swing increases accuracy?
NHK23 It can on short range shots, around the pink and black etc. However a longer backswing definitely helps on power shots as a shorter swing can be a little jerky on such shots.
Well Done!! nice and firm ... Can you please do more with a higher quality...thanks.
It plays at 720HD. That's the best I can do.
good skill
Wow left hand :D
สุดยอดเลยครับ
Thank u sir
you can fight every one in the world 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Ya left handed gang although I kinda ambidextrous lol
Nice
Nice video. Could you please make one video with voice commentary to say where you are hitting the cue ball. using the clock face pattern.
I'm not sure when I will be playing again but I have other videos here with a cue ball graphic on screen.
is it the angle or just you used a lot right spin when potting the shot
tony ge I used fair bit of side on a lot of shots during the break....just my way of playing
This is a brilliant effort. May I request to please add the slow motion of the shots as well, apart from the zoomed video portions on left, that will help the viewer a lot to improve players like me. I must say this is one of the best way to learn by watching and thanks for the video
For green, why use right hand side?
The holes are bigger than usual, but great job :)I wouldn't be able to do 10% of what you did haha
The pockets are just standard club size but they always look bigger on the headcam. Some shots dropped which normally wouldn't but you get that sometimes. Cheers :)
Good shit
I saw u seldom use side, is that my eye problem or what 😂😂but look u play is juz lik so easy, my higher break is juz only 33, nice video and keep it up
I've found using side harder to judge in recent years. Seems to be throwing the cue ball offline more now so I miss more pots. More practice may fix that though. Thanks for watching.
ผมต้องฝึกอีกเยอะครับ กว่าจะได้แบบนี้ ขอบคุณที่เสนอแนะแนวทางครับ ผมฝึกแล้วแต่มันยังไม่ได้
Any tips on stance as I just can't deliver cue straight
Sometimes its not just stance which causes the problem but try to keep the back leg straight and in line with the shot. You could also try cueing with the cue brushing your side throughout the shot as it can help keep it on line. Above all stay as still as possible on the shot.
Nice shot 5:37
สิงอีซ้าย และ 147 แต้ม...โอชุนลิแวน. ชัวร์
มั่ว
Top++++
Nice break but u keep stunning off the cushion for the black when u don't need to just soft screw would get the white in the sa.e place,also u had a shot on the black were u run it round 2 cushions and u was always on a difficult red which u potted in the middle the shot was a stun left hand side for red in same pocket as black . But good break and good luck to u if I was coaching u id improve your game bye at least 30 points I'd improve your cue action so u would actually enjoy playing some shots im sure your avoiding gl to u m8
สุดยอดมาก
Alha very cute hero

Don't worry about it pal. Some people only live to hate others. Thanks for enjoying🙂

@@bottlecap57 Aaaaand neither did he. FWIW i think it usually refers to skills such as shot selection (including use of spin), break-building and creativity
you are awesome and you should play with Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Thanks a lot. I wish I was playing Ronnie :)
You are Ronnie o Sullivan but pretend
How often do you play mate?
The amount has changed through the years. When I was making these videos I was playing 2 hours a day 3 times a week. Hardly playing at all now though.
The Snookerist ive loved snooker ever since i was a kid, just wish i could buy a table but have no room
Yes you need a very big room for a full size table, at least 24 ft x 18 ft i reckon. I don't have my own table but i live very close to the club I play in and the conditions are great.

That's correct.
You are a genius at this game keep it up. And could you please tell me your name to
Sorry I cant reveal my identity but I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos.
Whats a decent cue for a beginner and a cheap bastard like myself? The club cues im sure used to be table legs with tips on em

joewizard100 Cheers mate. Will have a look at that.
I spent 126 AUD on mine and it turned out to be a really good cue, Sometimes when buying mass produced cues you can get lucky with one. I did.
Level game😍
👍
Well played. Whats your highest?
Ive had a 147 and a couple of 146's using variations of the line - up routine. They're on the channel. Cheers.
Wow that was a quick reply, lol. My best is a 129, that was when i was 13/14, about 4 or 5 years ago.
I will watch your line - up videos, thanks.
129 is fantastic especially at 14. I never set out to make a 147 until I was 47 ( strangely enough ) and had already been playing for over 30 years. With practice anything is possible :)

Standard club size as on any other club table
@@bottlecap57 I am just kidding. It look so easy seems like the pocket are too large. Thanks for sharing.
@@sermsaklimpadapun6054 It's the headcam which makes the pockets look bigger than normal. No probs 👍
