Been watching your videos for around year now, I've never been anything other than way below average (highest break ever38 before becoming a single dad 11 years ago) its not that I ever fell out of live with the game but literally had no time after finding your channel I went and bought myself a new cue and my son a cue. He's 12 now and we play at the very least once a week and we both love it, you're channel is absolutely brilliant thankyou from me and my son

Best snooker channel, and has really helped my game as I am just starting out

Watching in Debrecen, Hungary. Like these “changed forever” videos!

I'm a beginner in snooker, and I have a break record of 24. I love watching your videos because they're so spot on, calm, and easy to follow, so I decided to subscribe to your channel. I also prefer your British accent for some reason. Greets from Sarpsborg, Norway!

Another cracking effort. A couple of nice gags in amongst the high quality info. Cheers

AHA!

For those who are unsure how Ronnie changed snooker forever, he basically introduced the idea of hitting the cue ball lower than everyone else at the time. This allowed him to get more stun or screw whilst not hitting the ball as hard. Hitting the ball with less power gives you more chance of the ball going in the pocket, which increases his chance of potting, whilst still maintaining excellent cue ball control. This results in incredible break building potential, which Ronnie clearly maximised.

Watching from Ohrid, Macedonia Keep posting those nice videos, I find them really enjoyable

Thank you, the mental part of the game is really where I struggle. Distraction literally is the bane of a gentleman's game. It's nice to think I'm not the only one to be affected by this. :) Your videos are great bro-tato! Stay focused and have fun with A Break from Life

Love your videos and the helpful information that you provide. Sadly, Here in the US. snooker is not popular and I can not find a location with a snooker table anywhere near me. I want to play so badly and I plan on taking a vacation trip for no other reason than to play snooker.

Understand the struggle, I was able to find a table near me the biggest things that surprised me was how extremely fast the table can be, the balls seem very small as opposed to pool, and how often you'll need to grab the rest if you can't control everything well

Instead of taking a vacation just to play Snooker why don't you buy a table? Unless you have no room to put it. They are fairly expensive but it's a great investment if you want to improve your game.

Inspiring videos, thanks for sharing. Going to join a local club and get playing again! James from Jersey C.I.

Ronnie is multifaceted and so much to talk about him. You could have well organized and presented his difference in approaches and lifestyle i guess. e.g. technique, shot selection, snooker brain, competition attitude, personal life etc.. Of course it would have been a longer video. Probably a part 2 coming??!! Always like your videos, good job. Thanks from Canberra, Australia :)

I never paid attention to snooker until news broke about some guy who intentionally didn't make a maximum because the prize money of $10,000 wasn't sufficient. I use to play a lot of pool (San Diego California), and this event not only lead to me to start playing again, but also got me addicted to watching and learning about snooker (and subscribing to this channel) . In turn, me and a friend starting a weekly gathering, now around a dozen pool players, many brand new to pool, at a local hall. I wonder how news of Ronnie's refusal to make the 147 has increased general awareness and impacted snooker overall.

Love your stuff! Oslo, Norway

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT CUE TIPS. How different harness of a tip affects the shot. How the shape affects it. The size. And MOST IMPORTANTLY. How do I know if my cue tip needs a change? Because I can feel and hear the contact sound is different than it used to be. I don't think it was that I was just cueing differently that day. Because this is something I've felt with other tips across 4 cues I've owned in the past.. Bonus: I play a lot of pool with my snooker cue. And people laugh at me. However I feel while it makes pots a bit more difficult due to the smaller surface area of contact, I have better control. Can this ruin my snooker cue tip?

Please continue this series with a similar video about Judd Trump and the attacking style of snooker he's introduced. Technical insight could be about cue power and how Judd is so good at smashing balls in with huge pace. You could also tell us how his game has clearly changed lately (i.e. 2018-19 season) and how it ended up winning him big titles.

hi, Im from Malaysia & have been following your video. I have play snooker for more than 30 years. My problem is I can pot consistently. looking at your video i now know the contact point will not be same as the aiming point. i have done research on how to put from ghost ball , look from top , half ball, lighting etc... 2 question hope you can answer. 1, do pro look from top before playing the shot or they remember the angle or what.cos i see them just walk to the table n pot no looking anything. 2 , how can i be consistent in potting. after 30 years, i only can pot average 3 to 5 ball. I aim same but some time it pot same time it don. pls help.thanks

My friends and I play with regulation snooker balls on an 8x4 pool table, how do you feel about that? Also, we have worsted pool felt but I feel like it's just not fast enough to play some shots I see in snooker, like cannons. Do you think un-worsted is more accurate to a pool table?

Oh yea bro. BTW does play slow when using a MH tip affect the shot? Current using kamui black MH. Ever since I change to MH tips I always sort of punch the cue ball

Ronnie and Hendry are often compared together considering the near overlapping of their careers. I’ve watched plenty of both and think Ronnie had a slightly higher ceiling, but a much lower floor. Hendry was like a machine for so many years. I think his dominance is what caused the dip in the popularity of snooker. Same thing with Steve Davis as well. And come to think of it the utter dominance of two or three billiards players who could put together 4,000 point breaks in the 20’s basically killed billiards. It took Joe Davis and snooker to bra new revolution.

Incredibly enough your shoes can have a considerable influence on your stance. Different soles ie rubber vs leather will affect how well your feet stick (for better or worse) to the floor. You might want to have just enough freedom of movement to fine tune your stance when on the shot. A very serious player or aspiring professional would be wise to consider keeping a set pair of shoes aside strictly for playing snooker. Consistent sole thickness that way too.

Watching from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I love your videos. I'm just wondering, is he also the first player to intentionally leave an angle and open the reds from potting a red?

That sort of shot has been around forever. But the game is played in a much more attacking style these days meaning that type of shot is played a lot more. Eddie Charlton an Australian Player back in the 70’s and 80’s always said “never develop a red from a red” so he had seen it though still considered it a bad idea

@shawnliu4500

@@Breakfromlife Thanks for the info. Perhaps the modern style is playing those same attacking shots with the calculated risk, and when leaving an ideal angle can almost eliminate those kind of risks to minimum. Still, Hendry and O'sullivan has totally changed snooker forever, completely agree

Porto (in portugal) doesn't look very populated...how about we change that?

I'm sure the pros are watching your videos. I saw in this year's world championship Kyren try a shot where he hit the object ball and then tried to jump another ball after.. I doubt it'd be that hard to persuade a pro or two to come be on one of your videos. You could interview them and ask about their cue and tip and chalk, and history of playing and watching, and maybe devise a cheeky potting game or two, or just play a frame with them on your table.. just an idea. From Me: Highest break 25.

many thanks from iraq. i made 50 break a month ago and am glad about it so thank you again cuse i made development in my game becuse of you .after watching your vedeo about the stance in snooker 2 or 3 times a day. i am finding the line of the shot every time but when i get down to the shot i go out of the line that i found when i was standing!! still do that somtimes in tricky shots but now i pot the simple shots most of the time. about your vedeo somtimes i see ronnie attacking and going for a very very hard shots even if he had a good chance for a very good safty and that make him loose somtimes. same mistake is made in high frequency from kyren wilson and jud trump.!! thay do that alot and i wish to know why! is it just a personal style or what???.

Did the snooker table get re felted

Have you ever done a 147 mate? I’m from Vilnius, Lithuania btw.

Dude , kudos to you for recreating some of the shots and maintaining the table itself for that , Your lesser attempts dictate your effectiveness over some shots .

Ronnie has raised Snooker from a game of great skill to a fine art. To me, his game is like poetry. BTW, put me on your map; I live in Rochester, New York USA.

6! Hooray
