My preferred trick shot is missing my intended red and sending the cue ball into the pocket. It’s strange as I’m remarkably good at it and yet I haven’t practiced it at all.

@@Zidane87 I was exaggerating a bit. Thirty years or so ago I learnt how to pot the odd ball or two. I made a 50 break once. Just the once. Usually I reached 20 or so. I was a good 8 Ball pool player, though. Five pints in and I was a monster.

I love playing these type of shots. Satisfying

Great vid to watch during lockdown. Keep it coming Steve!

Thanks for making this video. It was beautiful to watch, I've watched it a few times now :)

What would you guys think of a series in which the "snooker youtubers" like BartonSnooker, break from life or Barry Stark would play matches against each other?

Really enjoyable to watch, thank you!

Wish I could play a 3rd of one these shots haha doesn't help im visually impaired. Love watching these videos

Awesome shots. I liked the head cam. It helps us to see how you're performing the actual shots. I would the like see more head cam videos. Really appreciated. Thanks!

Brilliant video, thank you for posting it. I play these shots ☺️. Sometimes it does turn out as good as the pros. Your videos are very informative 🙏🏻.

Great video mate point of view so helpful, is it possible you could make some that show us wher that cueball will go using every combination of bottom top middle right left, even pictures overhead with paths shown, your teaching is awesome thanks for the demos ❤

It helped alot man....thanku

As a fairly casual player (played once a week while having a few beers, for 20ish years. Highest break 53), I absolutely love this. I love playing fancy positional shots and stuff 🙂

Super video Steve 👍🏻 love the head cam view. Gives a good insight into what you see as a player and exactly where you are aiming and striking on the cue ball. Just makes me want to play snooker though 😫

Hi ya I was looking for the video you did about how you sight the ball, when you play the shot are you looking at the object ball or the cue ball? Thanks Paul

Fast cloth on those snooker tables. That first shot was a thing of beauty. The draw into the corner on the diagonal shot: "not an easy shot". That's putting it mildly, I don't hit my cross table drill like that all the time and that's across an 8' table with bigger pockets. It was amazing to me the first time I tried it how many ways there are to pull it in back in the slightly wrong direction, enough to miss the pocket. Pretty sure I discovered ALL of them in a few of the first ten tries. :-)

What do you use for recording bud? The quality looks great! I hope you are well,watching your 137 clearance as soon as this sends

I was actually quite excited to wait for a deep screw/deep side screw from hitting yellow/brown/green and bring the cue ball to bottom half of the table..

Loved the video. One of the shots I was hoping to see was from blue to pink. I know it's not an exhibition shot but I need to know how to play it. It's the shot where the white comes off it's natural angle and just straightens up off the bottom cushion to land perfect on the pink. From the TV view, the white would be on the right hand side of the table like at 4:20 and finish just above the pink on the same side. The shot on the black you play at 2:19. I would play that with the same amount of right hand side like you take the shot at 3:02. Keep them coming Steve. Very useful.

A friend of mine says that you need to adjust your aim depending on which side of the table you are trying to execute the shot because of the "nap" of the cloth.

Great video Steve. When going into the pack from black and brown it looks like you don’t account for throw. Is this because of the short distance from cue ball to object ball?

@BartonSnooker

On the brown I'm aiming slightly thinner as the white will push into the brown. On the black I'm aiming slightly thicker as the white will push out wide. I guess it's hard to spot those small changes on the video.

Awsome

whats the height of your table?

Great video! I watch yours and some other channels regularly and it is a common recommendation to use side only if absolutely needed (in game that is). What level would you say I should be at to start practicing shots with side? I am still a beginner (1 year playing, 19 max break and I hit say 7/10 half ball black of the spot and 9/10 half ball blues) and I only play shots with screw and top spin, no side yet, maybe for safety shots. Thanks!

Hi! Keeping it simple is the way to go at first. No need to overcomplicate things. Always have a play around with everything though. Why not try using a bit of side for 5-10 mins at the end of each session. Get a feel for how it works. Good luck 😃

How much thinner do you aim if you play with sidespin?

@BartonSnooker

3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the shot, sometimes a bit thinner, sometimes a bit thicker, and how hard you play it and also the distance between the two balls. It's all down to experience.

nigh on impossible on club's tables unless well brushed and well ironed.

Really missing very rare exhibition shot from brown to blue, where the check side transform on opposite cushion into the running side and finish on the blue. I'd love to see it from you ♥

Blue at 4.25,I feel like I would hit pink. Nice video, thanks.

The dipthong is 'ah eye' for anyone speaking English, it's just that it happens so quickly you don't think about it. If you sing, or sang much, you would likely be aware of this, and you hold the ah typically and finish to the 'eye' at the cut off, just before the end of the note. I guess the Brits do it when talking, too. Interesting.
