Very interesting this, like a few others mentioned already, I've never seen this exercise before. Ofcourse, the final backswing and subsequent delivery of the cue is what the game of snooker is all about. I've played an awful lot when I was in my early 20's and was sponsored by a club (could play for free for as long as I wanted), I got to be pretty good at it (by Dutch standards anyway😂😂), but the grip, backswing & delivery have always remained some what of a headache. I'm 51 now, just decided a few weeks ago to pick up the game again, still got my old cue, so I'm gonna try this exercise and see what happens....🤞🏻😎
Same here, similar age and starting up again. I got to a fairly decent standard (for me)--regular 20s-30s breaks--when playing frequently in my younger days, but never really got the hang of the grip... tending to over-grip and not release. Like all the conscious things with a golf swing, one tends to forget. It's all about practise, I guess. Enjoy! ;-)
I've also studied the deliveries of many of the top players that have played this beautiful game. What I think I've discovered is that quite a few of them ROTATE their hand a little bit while delivering the cue, meaning they FLEX their wrist a tiny bit. Looks like the Holy Grail of a perfect cue action imo.
You need to look a man up called barton snooker. He is the best by far for coacing. He slows things down so you can see what's happening. All theas professionals even don't explain things correctly. Trust me he is ace look him up for anything regarding snooker. Please reply and let me know how you feel about my recommendation. Good look. 😊
I feel this is the only part of my game left to get ironed out, and probobly the most important if all. I will try exercise tonight and hopefully take to the table tommorow. And if it works I will subscribe to the academy. Never seen it explained this way! Cheers Andy
Great video, I have recently developed a problem with my grip and am struggling to fix it, I do release my fingers fine but I seem to rotate the cue anticlockwise on the backswing then clockwise on the thru swing, I drew a line on my cue and have identified precisely what my flaw is but I cannot correct it until now and the problem is worse on power screw shots, I only started playing last year after a 5 year break but used to make 100 breaks regularly when I used to play competitions.
I've just watched a load of videos about gripping a snooker cue, and this is by far the best explanation 👌
Thanks for the positive reply. Hope it’s helped your game.
