Thanks for posting just watching the way you put the side on the cue ball has helped my game because I used to get confused on what side to put on the different shots so I play better cheers!! 😄
Nice break! I was thinking the pink was too wide when you were lining up to it. But shot happens. Great skills. I learnt a lot about spin from these shots. Would be amazing to flash up a white call graphic with a red dot to show where exactly you hit
+John Cooper Thanks. Yeah, looking at the pink again I was a bit wide on it but without the kick on the blue it would have been a lot easier. Not really sure what a white call graphic is. However I did use a laser in the past to show potting angles. Cheers
You can though. It just takes practice and a passion for the game. I never had any natural talent but I just kept at it. Some of my newer headcam videos are of a much higher quality. Thanks for watching :)
Great break!, think cueing down with the rest hopped the white, causing it to skip across the baize, need an ultra slow motion to see the shadow though..
Oh right, cool bottle:)..thumbnail had me waiting for a kick on the pink (thought I was imagining things), my bad...lols.. I'll have to rewatch it for the pesky blue... great vids, very clinical clearances, very impressive!.. subbed..
EyeAmBatman Ah yes @ 9:02 cueball came off really slow & white left the baize before contact, there was also another heavy contact on the blue at 7:21... think the blue was being tempermental lol... maybe a humidity control setup would help...
I wish you could explain what shot are you playing and about position u want in every shot.. in that way i could learn more easily.. thanks for the video
I did a talk through in a recent video as well as others which give an insight into the type of shots I'm playing. They're on the first page of my channel.
In my opinion a kick occurs when the cue decelerates (due to tension) on inpact, making the white ball leave the table for a moment. Try to find moments on TV where a kick occurs when a player has already won the frame and there is no century, high break, or 147 at stake. His arm completely relaxes and the chance of 'kicking' are very low. And then compare it to the moments where a kick happens when a player is almost over the finish-line. Just my theory.
Been a while since I watched this but it just happens that a lot of the shots in this break required right hand side. The camera may be a little off also..
Static on the ball/To much chalk, should have had the cue-ball cleaned, shot played previously did not play as expected (kick), wasn't going to play next shot as expected..If in doubt have it cleaned. Excellent vid.

+PNELancsLad97 Nice to hear these videos are helping :)
+The Snookerist yes👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✍👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant player, brilliant idea to record these - it's really helpful! All the best.
Thanks, i learned things from making these too.
Really enjoyed that. Nice break :)
really enjoyed that . Unlucky mate !
Beautiful clearance. I would love to play snooker but unfortunately in Greece you can't find snooker tables, only 9ball and 3 cushion.

The Snookerist my guess is it's an auto corrected "white ball" graphic?
Nice 1st person keep up the good work
If only I could pot like that. The pockets on the table I play on are obviously broken! Great lesson, thanks.

That is actually quite inspirational. Thanks.
Really enjoyed watching this, nice idea with the head cam! Unfortunate to get the kick but great century nonetheless!
Yes Jules, a kick in the balls is never good ;))
+The Snookerist What causes a kick?
+baiz Some say its caused by chalk dust on the balls. Others say its caused by static electricity. I think the first opinion is the more likely answer
A snooker ball is never perfectly smooth and when two ridges hit each other it can cause a kick.
+The Snookerist It can't be the first, since there are several kicks been played just after the white ball was cleaned by the ref.
What about the chalk from the strike on the actual shot...think about it :-)

Thanks Bat :) Was just an ordinary miss on the pink though. Kick on the blue robbed me of the clearance.

Some on the 2nd page too...

Bad luck! I love your reaction!
Whats your highest break?
Ross Adams Highest in practice 141 : highest in a competitive frame 124 clearance....cheers :)
As soon as you angled up for the last pink, I knew you'd overcut it
+BG Rehz I wish you had been there to tell me at the time ;)
why do you always aim at right hand side or is it just a camera view?

+demonoid1024 Can also have the object ball cleaned, just in case dust settles.
Tough luck man
Yeah, all the spots are kicking badly these days. Thought i had the clearance in the bag.
Why does it look like he very often plays with right hand side.
well done the snookerist. you should start competing buddy, earn some prize money for your skills :)
is that an english or frenh board?
+Prannoy Raj Board?? Its an English table, about 80 years old.
its great stuff
😬😬
You're potting is insane, just need to concentrate on position, need to think ahead, looks like your potting and then thinking about the next shot
r u a millionare
hemptime123 lol...i wish
wow, he used lots of english.
