Thanks for these videos pal, you have really helped me grow my game to another level, such little basic things make a huge difference. Thank you for the time spent on these videos.
Great tips. Every single snooker player I've watched does that pause before they hit the ball. It's something I've never done. No wonder I didn't get any better 😂
I remember this being discussed during a match on TV the once and I think it was John Virgo said he thought it was due to the pressure of the heel of the bridge hand on the table making the middle finger lighter?
Perhaps you could do the shot of the WCs over two weeks, like the tournament itself, there were so many great shots. Plus why not do a feature on what makes the Belgian Bullet so brilliant. He's like a right handed Mark Allen and just so lovable!
1:19 didn't help you cue straight at least. I've never heard of a player doing this on purpose. I do it it's nothing more than a twitch caused by tension in the bridge hand, A way to release it. confirmed even by Stephen Hendry. It's nothing that helps the game and to quote even further "In no way does it help you pot balls" It's a habbit, A twitch and nothing more. Move on
I wasn't even aware that I tapped the table with my finger until someone pointed it out to me. So, for me, it was for no reason, except I thought it happened as a response to pushing hard against the table.
I also lifted my finger up, it is in fact involuntary at times and like the guy said below i think it’s because we spread our hand so wide for stability it naturally wants to move. Definitely not a timing thing for me haha
@@HardMan-is8mo What a great witty response. Such talent you have. Thank you mom for last night. She was a soggy mess. Not my fault. You shouldn’t have left her in that position.
Can you answer a question for me. I saw a video the other day when a ball moved or dropped into a pocket after another shot had been played. So it’s settled but then sometime later moved. So here is the scenario. If a ball was played and ended by the pocket and then during the next players turn that ball dropped, would that player get the point assuming it’s a selected colour or would it be a foul as it hadn’t actually been played or hit with the cue ball .
It’s up to the referee but if they think it’s been there for too long, 10 plus seconds then drops or whatever, it’s usually replaced. Unless a player knocking the table is supposedly responsible in which case it could be a foul
@@Breakfromlife what if say a pink is settled near a pocket. Red potted. Pink chosen….que ball struck (or maybe not) but before it hits the pink it’s drops?
I tap the table subconsciously.. but you explained why I must do it perfectly mate. I think the one thing that helped me was incorporating the 'ghost ball" when lining up my angle. I know you must know this already fella, but for those that might not.. 👉 If you have a half ball pot on a red for example, line up a "plant" by placing a ball directly behind and touching the object ball. Now if you even just smash the cue ball into the first ball it'll pot the planted ball. Now all you have to do is do it in your imagination but replace the first red with where you want the cue ball... oh and BTW. I and I alone invented the name "ghost ball" when I was taught this trick it didn't have a name.. so I deserve all credit in the universe😁😘🤣... I still can't pot >65 break though 😂
3:35 DO NO REST YOUR CHEST ON THE CUE. The cue is supposed to just about feather your chest, do not rest on it. Even your chin shouldn't be resting on the cue. Your elbow was too high up which makes it harder for you to stay still during delivery and you stand too close to the table. Your stance looks like someone put you in it and your cue is never parallel with the table again going back to a higher elbow. Take it easy, take a step back, lower your elbow until the cue is exactly parallel to the table.
It's always based on the lowest valued ball on the table. All the reds must've been potted prior to this situation. Yellow was the lowest color, so the free ball was played as if it was yellow, hence being worth two points.
You really should have said "nobdoy knows why" and this is MY take on the subject - Frankly this is NOT up to your usual quality of tuition and probably should be removed from your catalogue - Sorry if you don't like MY opinion on this video - I am a big fan BTW :)
Thank you, your 'tips' videos are always so engaging and enjoyable. Looking forward to to your best shots of the WCs.

It is not just for Snooker it is just for Cuing for any Cue sports that the same principles apply.
Hi From Sydney Australia
I remember this being discussed during a match on TV the once and I think it was John Virgo said he thought it was due to the pressure of the heel of the bridge hand on the table making the middle finger lighter?
Yeah it is an easy thing to move without noticing
Great man
Support from Nepal🇳🇵
THANK YOU, I've been really mad and wondering why my back was burning and I've been so tense.
Your game play very well bro I try to play my game like

Hey you should consider making a qna video
Hello from Germany, Cologne
❤️ from Punjab Pakistan❤️
I’ve got a terrible problem of at contact point I cue across the white. Anyone have a remedy of this?
Sorry you have addressed this at 6:00
I am waiting for your new video of re-creating world championship best shots
😅 specially the three ball plant from Anthony McGill 😅
Should be Saturday but will probably have to find that
1:19 didn't help you cue straight at least. I've never heard of a player doing this on purpose.

also I can’t do an open bridge I always have to play with a closed one and I don’t know if that hinders my game or not
I wasn't even aware that I tapped the table with my finger until someone pointed it out to me. So, for me, it was for no reason, except I thought it happened as a response to pushing hard against the table.
Lies
Aye, if you spread you fingers apart really hard your middle finger does naturally want to come up.
I also lifted my finger up, it is in fact involuntary at times and like the guy said below i think it’s because we spread our hand so wide for stability it naturally wants to move.
Definitely not a timing thing for me haha
@@WanderFeetChronicles but you're poo at snooker
@@HardMan-is8mo What a great witty response. Such talent you have. Thank you mom for last night. She was a soggy mess. Not my fault. You shouldn’t have left her in that position.
The word is "snatch"?
Really..
Now I know the word.
It was an unexplained feeling, until now.
Subscribed.
1:20 another good tip is don't try to steer the cue ball with the cue. Keep your cue straight the whole shot
gotta tell the folks at ronnie's camp that it is right hand side, not left hand side, in 8:45
Have you got house insurance that covers your garage for when you try that Brecel cut next week?
Which players do the finger tapping thing?
Mark Williams feels like the obvious one.
Can you answer a question for me.

@@Breakfromlife what if say a pink is settled near a pocket. Red potted. Pink chosen….que ball struck (or maybe not) but before it hits the pink it’s drops?
@@BrettSirrell the balls are usually put back to where they were before the shot and the player can either replay it or play something else
@@Breakfromlife thank you.
you have grooves from making so many videos lol. you must go through table cloths like mad.
I catch my self doing this ,but only when I'm playing well🤷♂️

Where you living under a rock?
@@amritbasavaraj9146 what's your issue? If it isn't a bona-fide question and you're just slinging sh*t, save it for someone who cares.
Come play my team at our club👍🏻👍🏻 we can learn a thing or 2 from you
I have such a bad habit of rattling the ball in the jaws always and I can’t seem to sort it out

Where are you look? Cue ball or objto ball when you SHOT
I always look a the object ball but others look at the cue ball
@@Breakfromlife Thanks
You forgot about one pointing your finger at the shot
I think your tip's now good enough 😅😅
Please wear the hat if you ever appear on TV. PLEASE!
I will unless I’m actually playing
Im sure the other day i saw a free ball been given as 2 points. Why is that? Iv only ever known it worth 1 point. Its been puzzling me since.
It's always based on the lowest valued ball on the table. All the reds must've been potted prior to this situation. Yellow was the lowest color, so the free ball was played as if it was yellow, hence being worth two points.
@KingStibroz well i did not know that. It was very insightful, thanks!
Where’s your ferrule??
You really should have said "nobdoy knows why" and this is MY take on the subject - Frankly this is NOT up to your usual quality of tuition and probably should be removed from your catalogue - Sorry if you don't like MY opinion on this video - I am a big fan BTW :)
Stephen Hendry when asked (along with other pro's) said he there's no reason for him doing it...
the one about the finger tap is nonsense its completely involuntary and is just to do with nerves in the hand
😂tapping mystery
You’re too young to remember Tony Meo aren’t you?
