I genuinely thought for a second that you had got Robertson to the garage!! Great video as ever.
That’s unlikely to happen yet maybe after the pandemic ends
Make it happen!!! :D
don't worry my friend the table also plays a part. Even I have a personal table. It's nothing compared to Riley or star strachen. I wonder which one you have
Same dude😅
i like that you wrote "photoshopped" in the thumbnail
I love snooker battles between Judd and Neil. They are offensive, brilliant,sometimes scrappy, tactical and very intense. If they play each other you just see everything what makes snooker so worth to watch.
I put Neil's and Shaun's cue action as the best in terms of 'robotic'; Ronnie's and Jack's as the best in terms of 'natural'
hope u can do a jack's cue action analysis !!
greeting from Hong Kong 🤗🤗
You cue power has been gradually getting better, I can see the difference from your older videos in comparison. Keep it up and soon you will be able to recreate Robertson's best shots too, obviously you haven't mainly because of this reason. His cue power is sensational. Great video dude 👍
Man I always found Neil's stance superior and finally someone is talking about it. Feels nice, also great video.
Appreciate the effort gone into the editing of this video - top notch. And the thumbnail is the best yet!
I like watching Neil and Judd play each other. It is almost like kind of a cue power contest.

If he picks your comment for the map, I'll love hearing him struggle to pronounce Odense.
@@georgiost6189 Yes, I'd like that too :) No cue power in the World will help you pronounce Danish correct(ly?) :p
@@mrloop1530 correct(ly) ;)

@@udtojanpestillos2094 Yeah, me too. I really haven't got anything to add to that, because I agree with you all the way.
This is a great analysis imo. I think I can add another variable that relates to Neil's body type and sighting (the same thing for Judd Trump too). He is left handed, but very right eye dominant. This means the cue is very tucked into a channel of the body... more contained though the follow through. It also means that with the cue inside the chin, he has much less inclination to lift the chin slightly on the back stroke and especially the forward stroke, to avoid any potential jarring of the cue with the head contact. More still with the power shot from that. The second part I think is that he's basically the ideal size to weight ratio... He's not too big or tall to seem uncomfortable in his stance, but the length of his forearm/fulcrum point is very conducive to easy power. Just my observations to add there 😊
Much love from Kerala - India❤️
Awesome video love from croatia
I appreciate the honesty in the thumbnail; you didn't have to do that but you felt compelled to do it anyway, good man.
Really good value video helping my game improve take care and thanks 😊 👍
Neil’s father Ian taught me this technique as a young kid. I really appreciated his coaching when I hung out all day at cuesports. Told me Neil would be future world champ and I had no doubt either.
I think the consistency of his action is what I appreciate the most. It is always the same setup and execution. That and the way he likes to strike the ball confidently on every shot - it's looks great when he's in the zone. None of those dinky shots across the table which can allow table roll/poor delivery to occur
Much love from Kashan - Iran
Very interesting video. Maybe you can make more of those with different players. Much love from Innsbruck, Austria.
Thanks again, he’s the cue action i Would aim to learn the most from! much appreciated. Dante, dorking.
If you check Twitter, Neil Robertson has seen the vid and he loves it, great work!
Interesting, thanks for letting me know
Apparently it the grip and the rest is irrelevant according to Mr holt
Hello I’m watching you from kurdistan iraq, i really enjoy your videos 😁💙
Loved this! PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT DIFFERENT SHAPE/SIZE CUE TIPS!!
Watching your videos has really helped with my game,always look out for them! Thank you and keep up the good work! - Lucas, from Milton Keynes !
You are so observant!!! Fascinating analysis!!! Thanks!!!
Awesome stuff! Watching from Christchurch, New Zealand
Love this analysis of Neil so much!

Always good, no nonsense videos. Only one thing! If you don't mind me saying. Have you tried making a vid without music? Your use of music is already minimal, which is great. But your videos are interesting enough to keep me watching without music. Maybe jus start and end use? Keep up the great work :)
Great videos as always.
Following you from iran 🇮🇷✌️
Always enjoyable to watch Neil. Brad from Winnipeg Canada
Great video, the cloth also makes a huge difference ,we have the cloth they use on the TV in our club and you bearly have to hit the ball to get massive reaction, Robertson times the ball so well it is effortless ,I would say Murphy times the ball better than any pro ,some shots he bearly hits the ball but because he times it so well he can screw full length of the table with ease
Your videos help me so much bro!!
Loved it! From Bucharest, Romania
Hi from Wolverhampton UK.. your videos are really helpful to my game
something that you might consider when comparing your technique with Robertsons technique is the differences in playing / table conditions. The cloth, the ambient temperature and humidity on the surface of the table cloth etc. Then there is the matter of the relative weight and flexibility of the cue and the relative hardness of the cue tip.
IMHO it is unreasonable to expect or to think you can duplicate the same or similar amount of draw (you call it screw) that Robertson gets when you take into consideration the factors I just pointed out.
No doubt Robertson, like all talented sportsmen has refined his technique. His stance over a given shot I believe has more to do with his height, the length of his arms and fingers and the relative efficiency of his stroke. Timing - as they say - is everything. Talent is something else altogether.
You are a talented snooker player in your own right and you have a very highly and well developed game yourself. I think you have more to lose than you could gain from trying to emulate the technique of someone so physically different from you.
Much of technique is a function of body type/size, reflexes and strength. That is something to think about before you beat yourself up over not being able to consistently duplicate Robertsons abilities for imparting excessive draw (screw).
I admire Ronnies technique much more than Robertsons. Ronnie has such masterful control of his cue ball that he rarely if ever finds himself in a situation where he needs to draw or screw the cue ball the length of the table. I don't doubt Ronnie can do it - but his technique is such that he rarely if ever finds himself in that predicament. No?
Hello from Mauritius 🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️ good job love your videos 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
My uncle taught Neil as a kid in Australia back in the day, and used to teach me the same technique when i started playing, and im happy he did because although my cue action isnt as good as neil its very similar and usually holds up under pressure.
Yesterday Neil was brilliant again! Higgins start shaking a bit and didnt close the match. But Neil... Amazing! He was like a serial killer!
Fantastic. From Wadowice from Poland
Hello im a fan from Kelantan, Malaysia. Thanks for all the tips 😊
There is one thing that among the players with cue power that I saw a lot player haven't noticed it is there press the cue with the Jaws of their palm (between your index fingers & thumb). At the same time you can't press too hard, it will makes you twitch on your shot. I've change to this type of cue action since last year. And it did helps on my cue ball control & cue power. I don't know you will saw my comment or believing it. But it's just an opinion from me.
Not to mention the cue power I have using the rest also
Hello! I am watching fron Cronulla near Sydney Australia!
From Karachi,Pakistan love your vids
Much much love . Love your videos . From iraq 🇮🇶 ♥️♥️
he lifts his head sharply when delivering the cue on the most extreme pull backs. Alex Higgins used to do the same
Can we just appreciate that thumbnail please😍!
Brilliant analysis!
My favorite player Neil Robertson
A lot of people don't realize you can hit way closer to the edge of the ball than what they think possible, to generate spin. A quick test I do is try to miscue by hitting as close to the edge as possible and moving that tip contact point closer and closer to the centre until I find where the extreme limit of miscuing is.
I really like your methodical approach.
Even thinking of declaring cue side and bridge side instead of left and right shows the amount of thought you put into this.
As always, thanks and keep it up. Hope you can get a new cloth on your table some time ;)
Thank you for all of your videos and the effort you put into researching these hidden techniques. Maybe his secret is the twitching of the middle finger as seen in this video at 4:27 min LOL. Not sure why he switches but he does two sets of three switches before shooting.
Cheers
Another great video, I would have to say that 'cue power' isn't about speed or power, it's about timing.
Timing is the amount of acceleration reached when striking the cue ball. If you are still accelerating when hitting the cue ball, then the time of contact between the ball and tip is longer, as the cue is catching up with he ball. This gives more spin.
I was really confused while playing for my local team, when most of the lads playing could screw the ball no matter how low they struck the ball, after some research I found that info about timing and acceleration. All sports require this when spin can be applied.
As I said I love watching your videos, pal and not trying to criticise sorry if it seams like this.
Idea for future video, similarities between snooker and other sports like golf.

Something to learn if you need to play a powerful forcing shot either with stun , screw or top
Another great video, subscriber from Burnley, UK
Neil Robertson its my favorite player ❤️ i'm watching from São paulo in brazil
Love the vids. Watching from Pirot, Serbia!
Hi, I'm Juan from Saint Hubert, Canada. Love your videos
From Kharkiv, Ukraine, with great love!
Hi have you got a video on your setup / snooker room is it a home garage?
I"d be interested in you commenting about the shoes one should wear. I've learned from motor racing that soles which are thin, and create a stable platform without any compression related motion allow for pedal control, and balance. I would assume the same is true of keeping the platform stable while making the shot. I also noted your compressible soles, and wondered if that adversely affects your game on longer potted attempts?
watching from Mauritius. A little island in the indian Ocean next to Madagascar
There needs to be more places available for people to play snooker. I'm only aware of one place in Edinburgh and the parking is non-existent.
It’s bad where I live at the moment as well. 8 big clubs have shut in the past 5 years in my nearest city and we have no where to play tournaments anymore
Where’s that at??

Nice work mate , greetings from Zarzis Tunisia
Of all the pros, he might have the best cue action.
Great stuff BFL, always top notch stuff. 👌🎱
Robertson and Trump are the best snooker players playing powerful spin shots.
Oi mate do you have a loicense for those no-look shots??
Actually, I found that the main thing that allows deep screw without a miscue is the firmness of the bridge hand. Allowing even a slight downward motion of the bridge during ball contact allows the tip to dip lower on the ball, causing a possible miscue. Second is proper tip shaping to maximize contact area low on the ball. I also suspect the shaft flex to be an important factor. But I don't have access to enough shafts of different flex to investigate this.
Great video again, loved watching it in Chesterfield, England
Great channel...You've got a new subscriber from Ottawa , Canada.
Niel is the player I would most like to spend a day with. I like to call Him the metronome. Just a solid good guy and definitely one of the very finest players of all time. In fact its possible that He and judd have attained the highest skill levels yet seen? Its interesting to compare their best play against Ronnie's.

Hi bro, did you try taom pyro i just tried it I think it’s great
Neil robertson was always been my favourite snooker player
Sir, What Is The Name Of The Shot When Judd Trump Holds A Cue From The Back And Plays?
very well description dear. good teaching .. love from Paksitan
I could only generate a decent amount of spin if I had a solid stance (very still), a good acceleration and follow-through on delivery, and keep the cue movement as parallel as possible to the table from beginning to end. Many times during follow through the tip would lift as I was trying to inject more power (=/= acceleration) into it - that is how difficult it is to get consistent with these kinds of shots.
It takes time to get the feel for it
Try actually get Neil in.... you never know. Much love from Hobart Tas Australia
Another great video, I don't think I'd even get on the scoreboard against Neil, but maybe I can get on your map - Nick, in Los Angeles.
Please try the fluke video it would be awesome lol love your videos mate from Crawley, West Sussex 👍
Once again, brilliant video from Ireland :)
Thanks for the video!
Can you explain why snooker players taps theirs finger when shooting?
- Subscriber from San Paolo - Brazil
As Neil Foulds said in commentary, there’s more than one way to play this game.
Bro can u do a video to play the shot if cue ball is near to the object ball and how to play without push
Thank you, please do Judd Trump - very interesting, different and amazing technique which other players don't do. Hendry said he plays shots which other players simply do not have.
Well, Neil's had a look and thinks it's "amazing". Has tagged McManus and Steve Davis over in Twitter as well. He says it's all in the grip.
EDIT: just noticed that Michael Holt has also commented on Neil's post: he says that it's all about "the squeeze".
What about cue weight and how whippy it is?
Does this make more power and spin?
Great vid as always👍
I would have to say that 'cue power' isn't about speed or power, it's about timing.
Timing is the amount of acceleration reached when striking the cue ball. If you are still accelerating when hitting the cue ball, then the time of contact between the ball and tip is longer, as the cue is catching up with he ball. This gives more spin.
Great content mate👍👍👍
This will definitely change my game because I’m a tall player so thanks this was super helpful
Can you do a short piece on pre shot routines please?
Disclaimer in the thumbnail so he ain't accused of clickbait haha. Pure brilliance 🔥🤣
Keep making great videos ! Greetings from Athens Greece !
Watching from Oslo, Norway. Cheers!
Nuno
Can you please do a video on Stephen lee aka rolce Royce que action thank you
Great video! Watching from Banbury
Some of his power shots it seems he is playing them with a bit shorter bridge. I have tried that and worked really well for me, because that way I increaded my follow through. Just, I have to pull back almost bellow my thumb and be a little more careful about my timing. Great video!
Edit: I didn't notice what you pointed out, about holding tight his grip after delivery. Well done. I will try that also!

A shorter bridge hand forces increased acceleration.
@@billynewton202 I agree! Timing is easy to describe, but difficult to implement! For me the shorter bridge works much better. Of course not something extreme, just a little bit. I think also John Higgins tends to use shorter bridge.
Great videos lad Jake Davies from Drogheda,Co.Louth,Ireland
Can you do a same kind of analysis from my favourite player ding junhui?
Shaun Murphy has the best action for me.
As to quote John vergo 'rolls Royce cue action'.
Ps. and Steven Lee
One of the greatest player ever.
