Great video as always. After 1 month watching and learning your videos just made 2 line up centuries! Never made more than 40 before. Thanks again. Will be happy to donate to the channel in order to keep it going. 💯

Few quick points A new ray of hope u hv given. Bestest u you tube channel for Snooker learning. There is only one Steve Barton!!!

This channel is just amazing !... Please keep up the good work... Really looking forward for future content and updates. Greetings from an Italian snooker fan

The last part almost designed for me. Steve answered that too, previously but anyways thanks for addressing the issue in toto here. Great help. Great insight, you have. God bless!!!

Love all your videos, keep up the great work

Thanks for making clear about consistency on a shot by always being strict on elbow movement & preventing it from dropping or down dropping an elbow. Thanks again Sir 🙏

as usual a very informative and detail video. thx

great snooker coach ever

Hi Steve, when anyone asks me about how to become a better player. I tell them to watch your videos. Thank you for all you do.

You're the best ever coach thank you last part was charm that I got into from your videos and turned myself into robot, so in tournaments I need forget everything and be natural and make mistakes but I know now I'm lacking more practice ....

Wonderful video , learn a lot

Really enjoyed it... many thanks

I must say yr gr8 advice at the end about touch and feel and don't become a robot.is such wise words.there is no teacher like u ...thankyou so much

Wonderful details in the 3 part tutorial. I could relate with a lot of mistakes that I commonly make when the seasions are longer. One tends to start well but lack the consistency through a longer session. The key point is to be consistent, which comes from practice and muscle memory. PS: really loved the point where you mentioned to stay down even if the shot is wrong to populate data. KUDOS!!!

Coach you are the best!!! 💯🙏

Great advice Steve😊 top video!

Unbelievable…! So helpful…. Top class

Good work.stay blessed

Awesome video, great teaching machine Thx..❤😎

Great video Steve think i do what you pointed out and end up robotic and not enjoying it, will try it step by step as your advice, cheers mate

Steve, another great video! I take a lot from what you teach to my game. Truelly appreciate. If I can ask you to consider doing a tutorial on safety shots. There's been a few on how to practice long safety but I would love to see a video with hints on how to play safety with different scenarios (ball on the side cushion, ball on the top cushion, different angles etc.). Basically a tactics / shot selection oriented video. Also as I like to re watch your videos in between the time new ones come up, have you considered grouping them into KZread play lists? Like divide them into technique, practice routines, break building, Q&A etc. It would help a lot to find videos as there are more and more on your Chanel and simply going through all to look what I am looking for is taking more and more time ;) As always, cheers :)

Another great video! 👌🏼

Another great informative video Steve👍👏 Excellent section on 'elbow drop' i truly believe that the elbow drop has to be natural to the player. Its very difficult to learn or teach. You hit the nail on the head with it really, players can drop the elbow too early and thats fatal. O'sullivan, Murphy and Selby have a natural elbow drop which happens AFTER connection with the cueball. Also the hand to chest can help to eliminate 'quitting' and 'decelerating' on the shot. Great stuff Steve👌

I've really enjoyed this series pal so thanks or that. Also I find I focus way too much on my technique. And it is definitely hindering my progress. I have definitely improved but nowhere near what I should be really. Hopefully with this now in mind I can find an extra percent or two. Have a good week 👍

Very Very Good

Your videos are absolutely brilliant thank you. Just wish i lived further down the M6. Carlisle is a long way from you 😞

This is a really useful one, I struggle with it big time. 0-100 from the backswing to the shot. I think Kyren Wilson has a really noticeable technique for controlling this

Fantastic video Steve....We in New Zealand are in lockdown again so will be a while I guess before I can put this into practice.

Good work sir Luv from Pakistan♥

13:40 - That's me right there. I practice all the time, and I don't feel as if I'm getting much better compared to other players that only do half or less the practice I do. I'm pretty sure that I'm doing everything I should, but I'm concentrating so much I miss the ball, maybe I should take more breaks from practice, or just do one thing at a time. When I'm playing well, I'm not thinking about it, but the more I practice the less this is happening.

Liked your comment on not becoming a robot👌

Yup

Great, please make a video about choosing a proper tip, when we should change it

Hi Steve! Great video again👌 Quick question, how much difference is there in the speed of match tables to club tables? Been watching the British open live and the ball just seems to travel so much more. Keep up the good work!

@BartonSnooker

2 жыл бұрын

A big difference to most club table. TV tables will play MUCH MUCH faster. Then you have the in between tables. So my coaching table has a fast cloth on. It's much faster than the average club table. But TV tables are still a lot faster than mine. You'd need to play on really fast table to appreciate just how fast and also responsive they are.

Hi Steve, good stuff. Can you run a mini section on technique for playing the white when tight against the cushion. Thanks Steve ps I know I should concentrate on getting better position

Hi Steve, can you please do a video on cue delivery using your wrist? I see players like Mark Allen, Neil and Judd are all very good at playing power shots by using their wrist. I think the key for not allowing elbow drops a lot is to use more wrist for cue delivery instead of locking it? By using a lot of wrist will also naturally relax your tension on delivering the cue.

Great video, how can I practice the forward swing (Delivery), ? I do good with the back swing but sometimes having problem with the forward

Caint wait to start coachimg ! Once we get dates sorted 😂😂just hope you can help my game 🤞

I can definitely help your game. Many players have doubles their highest break and more following the sessions. I love teaching what I learnt to improve my game so significantly

You should show how this can be done in a long shot instead of the usual middle take

Hey Steve. Great video as always. Got a question for you. Let's say you have a student where you notice he has a slight wobbling of his bridge hand from side to side. In other words, due to muscle tension in the forearm, the base of the thumb tends to slightly lift away from the nap, therefore the cue tip moves sideways during feathering as well as final bs/del. What would you tell your student what to do to fix this? Thanks! :-)

Hi, Steve, Thanks for your sharing of such a great video. I am a Chinese Snooker amateur, Can I send you a video of my cue action? And please give me some advice if possible.

Hey Steve. I am playing snooker for the past 4 years casually and my game after getting to a certain point was not improving at all.But for the past week my game has seen a marked improvement out of nowhere.Its as if I am not the same players at all.Now I am very happy with my game but just wanted to know how could my game improve a lot overnight.

Great video! I've studied pool vs snooker players a lot regarding elbow drop. What I've noticed is that snooker players very often drop their elbow during the **backstroke**. You do as well. I think this keeps the cue planar during the practice strokes and final delivery. Pool players not so much. Are you conscious of this or does it happen naturally?

@BartonSnooker

It's in my last video. I'm not conscious of it now because I've been doing it for so long. But I was when I first learned that it needed to be done. So I worked on it until it became a habit 👍

04:14 How is this possible on a long pot, especially if needed to hit harder to return to the baulk?

Great video again Steve. I am having a grip problem. Where I am strugging with with my front finger been relax. After watching you last video, I start trying with the timing grip. Can I use the aiming grip and complete the shop with the timing grip? Many thanks

I have a stance issue and I am playing snooker for more than 10 years with a wrong stance and a bad grip Every day I go and play snooker and everyday my grip I feel changed don't know why what do you think and can you clear my these 2 things

one question sir.Before delivering the cue will i have to look the object ball or the cue ball?I want to become number one in India.im from north east India.we look like chinese,indonesia,phillipinese etc.

Does body shape alter the smooth follow thru to the chest ie mark Allen is a big lad v mark Selby a lean fella?

@BartonSnooker

2 жыл бұрын

Not that much. Most biggest players tend to just stand a bit more side on so they have more room to go through the ball.

How do the likes of Judd and Robbo generate so much power and spin when they don't keep the tip in contact with the ball for longer than usual on those shots? I'd have thought that to add extra power without increasing distance would naturally create a snappier, potentially jabby action as speed was increased over a shorter distance.

Could you please help me,? When I hit a medium pace or add a little power to my shot my grip hand hit the chest which hurt my chest. On the other side, when I try to squeeze my grip little to avoid it I do miss cues. What changes can help to address this issue? Your valuable suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you

Snooker is a crappy game, some days i play great, other days I can’t pot a ball. Yes!! I do everything you couches do, I think snooker has to do with (Having a good clear vision) seeing the ball clear as day> The summer heat affects my game, I can’t see the ball, I get muddy vision like I been in the heat for so long or maybe the LED light panels are just too bright but either way snooker sucks!!
