88. Aiming with Side - Adjustment
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2017
- In this video Barry looks at cue positioning and where to aim when playing with side. As an example to demonstrate this, he uses reverse side when potting the black from its spot and screwing back off the cushion / rail (a difficult shot). Only experience and practice will teach you where and how to hit the ball. This topic has been similarly covered in another of Barry's videos called 'Using side - Experience will teach you'.

We're lucky to live in an age where such well presented tutorials made by professional coaches are so easy to find and follow. Thank you Barry.
Jack. Yes, if you try to learn the game on your own you will be invalidating all the years of development that the game has go through.
Now this was a question I was desperately searching the answer to. :)
I play pool usually but I've learned a lot from your videos Mr. Stark. Thank you so much!
Eren. My pleasure. Pool and snooker players can learn from each other.
I didn't have a coach as a kid , i was just left to play a game I enjoyed, I'm 40 now, and don't let anyone tell you can't learn when your older, Barry's tips have helped me immensely
james. That's great to hear, keep trying. Well done.
Extremely grateful for yet another excellent video Barry! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and reply to all your commenters and fans. You really are a wonderful person 😊
Domain. Many thanks for that, comments like that make it all worthwhile.

Never been good at Billiards
Thank you Barry, been practicing "side" in my club and always missing, I will definitely put your teaching into practice, and make the necessary adjustments, patience is a virtue.
Young. I like the patience bit, you will not learn this game overnight.
wow. love the way he's explaining. true and beautiful charisma
Repositioning the entire cue parallel to the original line and aiming to miss by 1 degree are perhaps the reasons why I miss a lot when I apply side to my shots. Thanks for the tips.
What a great tip. Many thanks Barry. I just began playing snooker today after a 40 year break. Nightmare. I was all over the place. (And putting side on incorrerectly just as you showed) I'll be studying your videos. Thanks again.
One of the best explanations of how to put side on a cue ball.... extremely insightful and helpful. Especially the final part about not to aim at the pocket but at an angle (which comes with experience) to miss the pocket. Priceless advise sir... Fantastic coach... Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
Maybe lot of people don’t realize how good of a teacher Barry is. He is amazing so knowledgeable and he definitely knows how to teach. Helps me and I’m sure it helps so many people. Really all we have to do is pay attention and follow his instructions. It always works believe me. Sometimes maybe don’t understand exactly but I know that if I hit the ball exactly how Barry said it always works. Believe me it works exactly the way he said he does. He is amazing. Thank u Barry!
alex. Thanks for the compliments. I think we all (including me) have to realise that what can come easy for one person can be very difficult for another.
2:47 Barry is a wizard confirmed
Mendel. Side is a complex subject, I hope the video has helped to explain a few things.

I think it was a joke how the black ball appeared out of nowhere ahah
Mendel Chow is
Made me chuckle
Another great video Barry. Keep going! Thanks from Brazil
Jorge. Many thanks, I will try as long as the interest from players is there.
Hope you keep strong to continue this excelent job. And wish someday i be able to do some classes with you. Already learned a lot with your tips. Thanks again :D
Jorge Ribeiro i m coming to sau paulo next month
@@jr307 E aí, jogou com o Kaleemullah?
That was a great video, i've been struggling playing with side and this video is going to help me. Although this is snooker, it's the same principle on a 9 ball table.
Thankyou!
I've been watching and following you from inception. All your tutorials are great and have helped me immensely improve my game but i have to say, this video here deals with so many issues and addresses them so well. One of your best videos yet! Thanks a mil.
Aslam. Glad you like the videos and that this one answers a few questions.
Aslam Ismail I’ve just found Barry’s channel. Amazing coach
Aslam Ismail If this guy was any good he would be world champion. Those that can, do. Those that talk about it, Cant. Fact.
wanderer1955 by that logic you are basically saying that jimmy white isn’t a good player because he didn’t win a WC. U are just dumb
Woody81 No I'm not. I'm saying he couldn't handle the big occasion. And he couldn't. There is much more to winning the wc than being a great player.
Great to see your channel doing so well, Barry. Top bloke!
Groyper. Many thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Brilliantly explained, when playing side spin you play the shot exactly as you would playing centre ball striking only you play it aiming directly through the part of the white you want to strike, you never simply turn your cue tip and aim left or right, you'll miscue or miss the ball you're trying to hit, other times even if you hit the ball you'll find you've no side or far too much side. You must keep the tip of the cue travelling straight through the part of the cue ball you strike. A good straight follow through is a huge part in cueing well.
Thanks Barry,how to move the cue for side has had me puzzled for some time,no one else has described the technique
tatstanley. I am glad that the video has helped you to understand the concept.
Barry is a great teacher and a gentleman as well!
Really. Thanks for the kind words.
Just subbed Barry. U a true legend of the game and just found this is actually your own channel and not a rip off.
Love your coaching please please please keep these coming. A huge 👍 and I’d buy u a large 🥃 if I could from a proud Scotsman 🏴
Woody. Glad you like the channel, If I'd known there was going to be a pint in it I would have been in Scotland for the recent Professional competition.
Barry you are a legend thanks so very much for your extremely informative and priceless advice.
scambodia. My pleasure, glad you find them informative.
Thank you so much for this video sir.
I was not expecting to see a full length video on this topic when i asked you the question about moving the tip.
It was greatly helpful.
Thanks again.
Vivek. Side and its intricacies is a popular topic so it was actually worthwhile covering it, I hope it answered all your questions.
Barry Stark Snooker Coach yes, the video was very helpful.
A great lesson Barry. Thank you.
Brian. Glad you have enjoyed and learned from it. Many thanks for the comment.
I love you sir, you answered the question I've had for years! Great job
Prashant. Glad to be of help.
Excellent black pot sir.
I might say that this is the best snooker channel on YT.
Warm regards.
sundu21. Thanks for the compliment. Glad you like and enjoy the channel.
Wow you just answered the question that i had. I was Playing snooker with my friend and I did not allow for adjustment. Now that I have watched the video I will make some adjustment and experiment. Thank you Barry stark hope to see you in person one day.
Jubeesh. Glad to be of help.
That is one of the best counsel I have seen. Thank you!
Chrystian. My pleasure.
Thanks, Barry. Great advice.
Great video!! I’ve been wanting to know some tips around this shot for a while!! Thanks Baz!
George. My pleasure.
I love the way you coach and pot the ball usually applying your triky skills. Watching you from Kathmandu, Nepal
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks Barry you are truly a great coach
lnderjit. Thanks for the compliment.
That was made very clear. That is exactly how I play a ball with side on. But I will be doing it properly from now on. Many thanks.🏴👍
Glad it helped
Great knowledge, coherence and expertise. Subscribed, cheers.
MrRouge6. Great that you like the channel.
Great explanation, Barry! Thank you. (From across the pond)
bicivelo. My pleasure.
Very nice clip i will keep watching yours
Finally a clear explanation. Thank You.
Prasoon. My pleasure, I hope it has cleared things up for you.
Wonderful information sir thanks a ton
gagan. Glad it answers a few questions for you.
Thanks for this Barry!
AJsVIEW. My pleasure , hope it answers a few questions.
Awesome! Thanks for this. I've never known that with side that one expects the ball to slide . It always slides when I strike it but I've always thought that was just because I was so bad at striking with side that the ball was sliding. ..
Really good to know and makes me want to get on a table and get to practicing.
pixel. No matter how good you get there will always be some deviation on the cue ball when you strike the ball with side, however, the better you hit the ball the less deviation there will be, so please get working on that cue action. Good luck.
I've been watching your videos and they are extremely helpful . I hail from a small city in India and there's no formal coaching available here .I've searched for lessons online and you seem to be the best . Thank you .
harsh. Thanks for that, I hope the videos help your game.
Thanks a lot for the video sir. Will surely try this the next time.
shubham. My pleasure, good luck with your efforts.
Great as usual simple straightforward and logical as all good science is!
Kim. Glad I explained it okay.
Hello Barry, Thank you for this upload, we'll explained as normal, you are a very helpful and nice person for all of us, an excellent snooker coach with many years of experience and understanding, I wish you did one to one coaching, I would spend all my money on you
paul. Its possible that next year I will be in a better position to do this. No promises though at this stage.
Barry Stark Snooker Coach ok but I really don't think Kyren needs you so much lol, time to master up some more kyren`s in the making... Only joking, keep me up to date though if things develop, thanks for the reply.. Paul
What I noticed mainly was the entire movement of the hand. That was adjusted. It's fundamental and you can't just leave your hand placed central and rely on the change of direction from the cue. I learned something valuable from this video to remember which particular side to choose in relation to what you want to achieve with the cue ball.
LIVERNIL. Glad you have learned from the video. Good luck.
Whilst waiting for Barry to pot the black, I went over to BartonSnooker, got a full explanation of how to play side and when I came back Barry just got around to potting the black.
Ofelia. Well done, as long as you now know how to do it, that's all that matters.
What a legend this guy is
Well done Sir. Nice teach
amazing barry thank you for these wonderful videos and yes you are absolutely right about hitting the ball better i have experienced when i hit the ball confidently and smoothly while using side i get good action on the cue ball and the pot is successful most of the times i almost feel it even before playing the whole shot that this is going right or wrong how much that effect your game barry the confidence and staying solid on your technique
Hameed. Well done, you obviously believe as I do it is the real essence of the game, hitting that ball sweetly improves every aspect of your game.
Much respect to the man.
Watching at 1.25 really helps..thank me later
wow that's crazy! it's just the perfect speed!
I have watched whole videos like it...Barry's voice slowed down is funny .
Thanks. I didn’t think about doing it. It’s great
Thank u
😃
Top shelf stuff. Subbed.
Excellent video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing Video Berry.... U r an Einstein of Snooker.....
Wow, thanks
Thanks, Great advice
many many thanks this video explained all I wondered
linqings. Glad you liked the video and that it cleared one or two things up for you.
excellent video..... I hope people will pay heed to what you said about different conditions effecting the shot..... also you covered what we used to call squirt, squirm, squirrel..... they gloss over this nowadays by talking about "deflection" .... when I was first learning a hall-of-famer in America told me "shoot 3 million balls and you will have a rough idea of what the balls want to do" ...... GodBless him for telling me the truth..... I hope your students appreciate you sir
and don't forget moisture ......lol....yup.... it can really get tough sometimes with a room full of people breathing on the table..... yup
Jay. You are so right, professional table fitters are always striving to get the conditions right for the players but their efforts are often thwarted by atmospherics at the various venues.
this is the best coaching online available. Well done Barry! And I know he is right, coz I have gone through ALL those lessons. Have a look at "trickshots fired" my other channel.
Please make a video discussing about how to handle the extended extensions!!! I would appreciated a lot! Thank you
thank you for sharing you knowledge! :D
Arkhar. My pleasure, glad you find the videos helpful.
Hatts of to you sir my first mentor confirmed
Verry nice job that helps a bunch awsome
robert. My pleasure.
Great tip sir..
Praveen. Many thanks.
well done. thanks with respect
Erdem. My pleasure, glad you like the videos.
Quality channel
I would suggest playing 'Snooker Stars' game on the mobile phone. I've learned so much about the game in there and especially about spin. It improved my spin knowledge so so much.
Combine your in-game knowledge, snooker skills and Barry's teaching in your real life snooker and practise, and that's all you need to play like a pro xD haha
freak I play Snooker Star too, I'm level 13, is the best game that exists
Marcus Vinicius Pereira yeah xD
freak. I really must get a grip on all this technology, I am afraid I have never heard of this game.
ummm, i dont think ronnie or ding ever played snooker stars. lol
I've played that game way too much (1,000+ games lol). I usually play just pool in real life but that game has really good, realistic physics. The cueball behaves like it should and reacts to all kinds of spin accurately.
At first the aimlines extend the whole length of the table so there is little to no safety game when you can pot any long ball. But when you get to 100,000 coin games you don't have aiming line on long shots so you have to visualize the potting angle yourself and the game becomes much more tactical and realistic.
your a good coach/player
LIL. I try, many thanks.
I think a penny has just dropped for me! Thank you Barry.
sundowner. It doesn't matter how long it takes as long as you get there, well done.
You are a class act.
Rabin. Many thanks, glad you enjoy the videos.
Much appreciation , Thank u
You are very welcome
thank u so much u saved my games
Moad. My pleasure, a lot to learn, I hope it goes well.
I love your videos
The Ranter. Glad you like them.
Very interesting to see how much of a difference these fast clothes make. On my heavy cloth I would be aiming to only just miss the pot
Jon. You are right it does make a big difference, on a new cloth there is an even bigger difference because of the sheen on it.
Old man baz you are the O.G brother man , Rasspect!
I see why Barry is emphasizing not to use side for beginners. I was in the same situation once where the cue ball and object ball were straight to the pot. Because I used side too much, I missed the pot.
sir,i love your videos,thanks for the tips.
Eric. Glad you like the videos and are picking up a few pointers.
Good lesson 👌
Glad you think so!
Brilliant thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thankyou coach
khalid. My pleasure.
Your tutorials are great there helped me develop a lot as a player. I can normally hit a 70-80 break. What advice could you give me to develop even further
Connor. Big breaks are made around the black ball area and this is where I believe most players can improve. Place the black on the spot with an increasing number of reds in haphazard positions but in close proximity to it. Try to take reds and blacks but set conditions on yourself. e.g. No cannons. Use the top cushion. Use no cushions. etc. Good luck.
Barry Stark Snooker Coach, Thank you for the advice!
you are a hero for me.....salud... :)
rojlyn. Many thanks, glad you enjoy the channel.
Great videos I always did it the wrong way
Tq Barry from India
Thank you very much.. Another tip thap helps me a lot. Hope one day shake your hand.
helmiton. I would consider that a honour. Many thanks.
thanks
Rana. My pleasure, Glad you like the videos.
At 7:05 you can see the cue is aligned WELL to the left of the cue ball (from Barry's perspective); in a way that seems to show the object ball will hit the rail several inches to the left of the pocket.
S. When using side, particularly the amount I was using in the video you will have to make some allowance in the aim because you will push the cue ball off line, how far depends on the amount of side, the pace of the shot and how well the player hits the ball.
Wow this guy is a really good teacher.
Love it 😊😊
I'm glad you like it
moving the whole thing i think that will help me tommorow i ll try whole think tip
Thanks!
I would like see the camera behind the coach, that will give the viewers much more idea about where to hit on the cue ball
please do a video about deflections. and how to adjust for it. for instance if im putting right hand side on cue ball, it deflects it to the left. So do you have to aim further to the right, or do you do what's called "tracing"? This is something no-one ever talks about
John. I believe I have covered this in detail in my video, please study them. If you apply right hand side then the cue ball will initially be pushed to the left and of course this has to be allowed for during the aim, I hope I have covered every aspect of this in my videos.
thanks. ill have look for it then.
Finally a good vid that touches on this. Its been driving me crazy! I always try to add english to my cue ball on shots that i need to play position on. However when i add that english and go for the shot, even a fairly easy one, it misses because my failed attempt at adding english. So i have one question. I wasnt too clear if this is what he was trying to say at the end or not but when u add english, are you suppose to aim to miss according to the english ur adding. Like aim a little off to compensate for the spin? This has been really confusing for me and any help would be highly appreciated!
Mahdee. Yes you do have to aim to miss, how far is the real question. Learn to hit the ball sweetly and the aiming to miss will be less. A good player will aim to miss when he uses side but he will not have to aim to miss as far as a beginner simply because he will hit the ball better. There are so many factors that need to be considered, e.g. Your cue, how far does it throw the ball off line. The distance between the balls. The nap of the cloth. The amount of side being used. The pace of the shot. etc. The basic principles can be learnt from the videos but at the end of the day experimentation and practise are the real answers.
Barry Stark Snooker Coach i see. Thanks for the insight and advice. All i can do know is practice practice practice! Appreciate the help🤝
Barry, I’ve been getting more consistant breaks and I’ve been playing better than ever with all of your tips. I thank you again. I have a strange issue I keep facing in probably 1/30 shots. I’ll do my pre shot routine normally, feather and deliver normally and everything will be fine but when I play the shot it feels like a very vibrationy hit. I can feel it in my arm and wrist mainly and usually I will also miss the pot but I can’t figure out what the problem is. Cue plays great and the balls are fairly new. Have you encountered this strange vibration type shot? It also takes a lot of pace out of the white.
Domain. There is always a slight vibration when the cue ball is struck but this does sound a little excessive, I am wondering if something is a little loose on the cue, perhaps the joint or ferrule. Other than that the only thing I can think of is that the cue is a little on the whippy side. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
hello sir thank u for the video.. i want to ask. in this video when u played with left hand side screw u said u are aiming the black ball to miss it to the right side of the pocket because the cue ball will be pushed to the right.. ok bo problem.. but the left hand side on the cue ball with kick the black ball more to the right.. so is there any aiming allowance again or its just the furst allowance considering the cue ball will be pushed..
ahmad. This largely depends on how firmly the shot is played. The shot demonstrated requires a fair degree of power so there is a also a fair degree of the cue ball being pushed off line. Equally the power tends to overcome the kick to the right so that kick is minimal if at all. Play the shot with a lot less power and the push off line is reduced but the kick is increased.
Normal speed 1.5 ... have fun .
He is a great billiards teacer
One question: I've noticed that sometimes pro players seem to intentionally not cue straight on the break-off shot. It seems to me that they aim at the center of the cue ball and during the delivery they put the side that they need. Why do they do that?
to create the spin they need to cover all reds on the way back and not many players do that , ronnie does and at their level they are beyond the textbook rules of how to play
Alex. There is always the odd player that cues across the ball and does it very well, Judd Trump is a classic example of your description. However, it is a mistake to think that most players do this, most players aim to hit the cue ball where they actually hit it.
that is an old break off ..you can say method so as to get the cue ball safe
Can you tell me which cloth uses nowadays in tournaments?
Hi Barry
How do you come up with you’re own cue action? This is what I’m struggling with. I feel I cue the ball different every day!
Cheers
Snooker Official Videos. This is such an individual thing that there is no right or wrong answer, but let me make a suggestion and then you can develop your own from there. Point the cue, perform three feathers or waggles, pause on the back swing and then deliver the cue. Initially you will hate the discipline involved in doing this but stick with it and you will start to do it with rhythm, you will soon see the benefits.
Mr.barry thnks a lot to giving good technics i learnd many of things here and try to improve my game,i wana asked how can play h fast short means speed?thnx again and also waitng for reply..lv from Dubai
Kamran. Playing power shots is very difficult simply because it demands greater accuracy and the truth is that the more power you use the likely hood is that you are going to be less accurate. Just keep working on that technique concentrating upon straight cueing and the ability to play the power shots will develop automatically, but in your development never forget that power creates errors so don't use it unless it is necessary.
