This weekend I went to a resort on an island in Scotland... and as we were walking around the local town I seen John Higgins sitting with his family on a bench!!! To make thinks Better he parked next to our car on the boat back and we stood next to each other and I helped him pick something up and wished him luck for this season. Totally star struck.

I appreciate your channel massively. Played snooker for nearly 30 years now and your tutorials have been helping me fine tune my game the last year or so.thank you

It is genuinely fascinating how much you can learn about a game like snooker. Once I've got a decent sized house, I'm gonna get myself a snooker table.

Shaun is still one of the more decorated players in Snooker history when you consider there are so many pros who don't even have a ranking title under their belt, but imagine what he could have achieved had he had a consistent game with the tools he has at his disposal, he plays Snooker better than anyone when he's in the zone

Shaun's smoothness is beautiful, no jerkiness or pause, fluid. I watched his post on KZread to help with the the rest.

Shaun Murphy is class. His golf looks tidy as and his media game is slick. Thanks for the content as always Break from life.

Check ronnie’s interview where he talks about cue action

Hi there from Singapore, your videos really helped to improve my technique over the past year, thank you for making them!!

Shaun has spent thousands of hours and years practicing since he was a little lad. If you look at all snooker players cue actions, no two are alike.

Keep the great videos coming. Tim, from Oranjemund, Namibia.

I know stephen lee is a touchy subject for snooker but in my book he has the best cue a action by far. Would love to see a break down of his cue action. Thanks james Millar from ballymena northern ireland .

One of the nicest actions to watch in the game 👌great vid

Murphy shot! Something me & my pal always say when we cue a long straight screw-back in the club.... MURPHY SHOT!

On the point of keeping down on the cue, I’ve heard Shaun specifically say he does the thing where he stays down a little bit extra on his shot to try and evaluate his delivery. So after years of doing that he is probably well trained at staying down over the cue for every shot, including power shots. Also, his technique is all about a long, smooth delivery with a snap at the end (much like Ronnie and Stephen Lee), rather than players like Judd, Ding, Robertson, etc who tend to hit at the white ball a bit more. So Ronnie+Murphy’s white tends to move slower but with more spin which is good in and amongst the reds+black for control, but the spin tends to wear off more over long shots than the way Neil+Judd’s shots do.

I can't wait for the season to start.

hi from birmingham england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

best cue action in game in my opinion

Great content dude. Yemen, Sana'a

From Tabriz,Iran👋🏻👋🏻

notice you hold the cue a good 6 inch from the end.. Is that the way it should be for all players or does it depend on arm length? I have long arms and hold the cue right at the end? am I doing wrong?

Brilliant content as ever. Riveting stuff. However your levels are all over the place. I think you need to use a Lavalier mike at the table. It would make a huge difference. As it is I’m continually having to increase & decrease the volume. It’s a tribute to your excellent content that I bother! It really is great stuff and much appreciated. Best wishes from Catalunya.

nice vid. ty

Please make a video about John Higgins technique, also could you please clarify that what is attacking on cue ball? As Ronnie always says, attack on cue ball like hendry, Higgins

Would love to see you analyse Stephen Lee's cue action.

Automatic thumbs up from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada! Great analysis and insight. I hope to apply some of your catalogue of great advice after July 11th when everything opens again here! Love your channel.

Dear Sir, I would like to know what is your strong eye? Left or right? How to align your strong eye with the cue? Thanks.

Nice vid again. Especially the rest and wrist thing...although im not completely sure ive got it. So its just dipping the cue on pull back and resting it back on chin..and relaxing last finger?

That seems to be what he’s doing

That technique of a rest is a magic technique works on most even normal difficult shorts …is a push stroke basically avoiding back swinging coz it make it difficult to deliver cue straight if you back swing a lot ….but ofcoz this shouldn’t be a habit used on every shot

hello there mate, thank you for making such quality content I learn a lot from your videos but I wanna ask can you plz explain a bit more about that part of the video where you explain how far you should stand from the table so that u can not lift your bridge hand can you plz elaborate a bit more ill be very grateful to you any kinda help will be appriciated

You need to shift your center of gravity so far towards the table, that if the table wasn't there, you would fall forwards. You have essentially 3 legs you're standing on then forming a triangle. More stable than just 2 legs and arm moving wherever it wants.

Hi, new subscriber here. Brilliant content! How about an analysis on the controversial slower more tactical players, Mark Selby and Peter Edbon spring to mind, and weather it's entirely fair they're accused of cheating by some or they are actually, as I believe, considering many and the best outcomes of upcoming shots.

maybe once please make a video about Stephen Lee's cue action

Heyy Hakimi from Kabul, Afghanistan 🇦🇫 here to make into your great map oneday hopefully 🙏🏻🔥

Please make a video on Stephen Lee

quality.

Great video! By the way, on several of your videos you note the grip and the importance of keeping the wrist supple. I know that by tradition one part of the snooker cue is flat (dating back to a time when a cue could a laid on the table) but doesn't that affect the grip - do players spin the cue so that the flat part is in a favored position? Would this affect cue tip wear? Curious because in other cue sports, the butt end is round.

Can u tell me the actual size of pocket??? Cause some of snooker house have big pocket and some the have tge tight pocket

Hi from Pakistan! Adding to the map would be super!

do snooker players only use open bridge?

Can you do mark selby :)

I notice you throw the cue forward on some shots, I have not seen many players who play like that, definitely not in snooker. I have seen Jeffery Ignacio does so in pool. Any explaination on this?

Which tip is you using on your cue

@Break From Life another great video. I'm from Murray Bridge in South Australia. A pin on your map would be great..

Regarding the dip and lift in his action I feel its actually every good way of keeping the cue online, how? Well just accept that unwanted movement is going to happen but at least up and down will mean your still online as opposed to side to side movement.

Much love from Pakistan!

As far as I know Shaun plays almost every shot with a bit of sidespin. So you can aim the objectball closer to the center.

Great Channel... keep up the good work bro... From Lahore, Pakistan

Which cue do you use mate?

I am kind a lost please find my home I live in Mumbai, India

Seen a video of him once, regarding cushion shots. "line the shot up with the cue OVER the bal for centre ball and then DIP the cue to play the shot". NO unwanted side on shot. It works.

Nice

If Judd Trump is a Ferrari, Shaun Murphy is a Rolls Royce... I don't know what that makes Ronnie... 🤔

Is it possible to.... I dunno... over-learn from different players actions?. By which I mean can you sometimes take on so many different techniques are quirks that it actually ends up making your game worse as your action becomes unnatural for you. If that makes sense.

The key when listening to expert advice or emulating other peoples' techniques is being very conscious of whether or not it makes sense to *you*. If you feel exactly why it might help you, then give it a go in practice and see if it helps. But if it doesn't, then maybe it's a technique that would do more harm than good for your own game.
