how would anyone who can actually play the game of snooker give any of this tutorial a thumbs down..it's either jealousy or they really can't play themselves

Could it be because the session is nothing but statements of the obvious?

The instruction is basic but it is not necessarily obvious to a novice player or even to a more experienced player who has gotten lax and needs a bit of a refresher. It never hurts to go back to the basics.

THANKS COACH.... I have just started playing Snooker again after 60 years absence !! VERY HELPFUL

I laughed so hard at 3:16 when he walks *casually* around the table.....

Thanks again coach, excellent. Your videos are so relevant to the majority of us👍🏻

Your tutorials are very useful in building up the game! Keep guiding us through the same!

yeah, I have been missing lots of easy shots. so embarrassing! But sometimes, even looking from afar then walk to position, I still miss.. probably too nerves or no confidence :(

I've only just started playing snooker and I'm rubbish but these videos have really helped me improve. I've learned a lot. Good work

Excellent video, Steve. Many thanks.

Your such a good teacher. Thank's, my game as change. I'm improving each week. Daniel, Montreal, Canada.

Great video and nicely explained. Cheers, and thank you!

this was incredible! absolutely to the point. I loved this tutorial

Your videos making my game really good. I’m happy and thank u so much on your efforts...

I can't get enough of these videos

Oh teacher; a great video and such an important point for the average player who often commits thesse mistakes. Thank you.

I wish I was local to you. I would be taking lessons from you in a heartbeat. Thank you for the free content you supply.

Although I don't play snooker (I play pool), I still find your videos extremely helpful. This has been my problem for so long until I watched this. Immediately tried this out on the table and suddenly my potting became a whole lot better :p Thank you so much, love your videos.

For me you have just shown all you need to play snooker in one video, the rest is just height and pace on the cue ball, great video.

I’ve just ‘discovered’ your videos! I can’t stop watching them!? Your style and presentation are brilliant! As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been playing snooker off and on for many years. As with my golf game, I seem to have a problem with ‘ getting through the white’? I know I should be able to concentrate and DO IT but I just wondered if you could suggest a ‘swing thought’ that I could employ to assist me to do it? I suspect you may tell me that it’s up to me but I am getting on a bit in years and could do with the help because I love this game? Sorry to go on!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video.. Frm India 😊

Aw man great video, great information, thanks, I subscribed

The best thing about your videos, I think, is that although you are clearly a very good player you have very good understanding of the average player. I have hardly held a cue in fifteen years but I am inspired to pick one up again now, if only to find out if my frozen shoulder really has been properly sorted by physio therapy and if I can still see the angles now that I rely on spectacles. Who am I kidding, did I ever see the angles in the first place. Best break (in a game 38) and 56 (balls lined up the middle) in practice. And comment from young 14 year old in one of your videos the other day who had 108 in practice and 80 or so in a game. But thanks to your videos, I still reckon if I had a go I could still improve, even after not playing seriously for actually closer to 30 years. I'd even fancy getting your coaching - but I reckon the round trip might be just too far to be practical. But having seen this the third of your videos that I have watched I definitely want to watch more, and mire importantly, I really want to make the effort to get to a snooker hall again. Thank you for that. P.S. Have you ever heard of a and called "slosh" or "Russian pool" (I think). My old man, a billiards enthusiast taught me it many years ago but my memory on its rules are fading and he, though still with us, is nit entirely still with us in the memory department, though I will ask him as his older memories are often firmer than more recent ones. I think it had rules like cueball touching brown zeroed your whole score, and touching pink? cancelled the break. But I cannot recall the rules fir scoring points. Not a serious game really, just a bit of fun, a pub game of sorts. But I like that sort of thing. Slàinte

I'm an Yank pool player and I enjoy playing snooker too. I enjoy your videos lessons because they apply to pocket billiards as well. You talk about missing the easy pot taking the shot for granted. Taking that point a bit further, sometimes players will be so concerned about getting position they miss the easy pot.

Easy way of teaching .thank u

Fantastic tutorial 👍👍👍

tysm for this useful info.

your videos are great ,i love the ones that show where to hit the cue ball to get the results i would love it if you showed this on all your videos ,keep up the good work ,alex

Really good videos thanks!

Thank you from Malaysia sir..thank you

These videos are really useful. Just getting back into playing snooker consistently, and these are helping my technique greatly!! Have you done a video for beginners ?

Very good video make it look so simple but practice makes perfect

This is exactly what I need.

Like the way you explain .

It's b-cus snooker is hard yo! Thanks for the vid!!

Thanks again ,you have a interesting technique,,hand on cue ,slipping and catching ..cherrs

great advice!

Relatable topic 🙌

Will try this

Great advice

Thanks!

Thank you

Thanks for these videos, it would help if you explained where to hit the whit ball in the shot. For example the blue at the beggining where do you strike the white ball to get on the following red.

i always take easy shots for granted n i end up missing it some times ...this helped me thank u

Thanks coach

I find difficulty adapting these procedures.. as soon as I try to concentrate on these procedures I loose control on aiming the ball..

again as all the others, great video

i usually pot very difficult red balls, then miss easy colors! :)

Wat a snooker coach can't wait to go down for a game

Something I've been pondering. The starting position is standing some distance away from the table with your body standing squarely to the shot such that your nose and belly button is directly in line with the line of aim. You're finishing position (for a right handed player) is that your right foot ends up on the line of aim and your nose is still pointing directly at the line of aim in the address position. So at some point between the two, your head has to move forward and drop towards the line of aim in a perfect straight line whilst your body has to somehow kink to the left to allow your right foot to land on the line of aim. What is the correct way of achieving consistency with the approach to the table?

Very nice!

I can hit in the long pots but I miss the short pots. Thanks for your tips.

Very nice explanation. Well my struggle is on to be consistently potting balls. Lately i had a strong realization about feeling the shots. I mean to say i feel in every shot that i m not ok with my delivery. Sometimes it is ok. But most of the time my feel is that there is something wrong. I feel that snooker is more about a feel type of sport. The more better u feel the chances are high that better u may play. Do u mind making a video on what do u feel wen u complete a shot? Like how do feel when u close ur fingers while finishing a shot, how do u feel wen u feathers. One more thing i really feel that u have got a compact technique which i envy a lot

Yeah great tip on tracking ob to pocket. Im having mass probs with my dominant left eye, Im also right handed! Ive been finding success in standing at an almost 3 o clock position with my left foot almost on shotline? But there are two conflicting views with nik barrow (doesnt believe in dominant eye) and preaches centre vision and barry stark who pushes dominant eye theories. I find both views highly interesting. What would you say to a right hand left eyed player?

The mistakes that he talks about I experience on a regular basis. So easy to lose concentration expecting to make the Easy Shot.

Hi Steve your a great coach u def know what u r talking about

Hello, sorry just curious I was just wondering Is there a reason you let go of the back of your cue at the back and catch it again after impact? Thanks.

It’s a problem I have, rushing or taking for granted easy shots, I find it hard to repeat the same pre routine shot on every ball, I can do it for a time then just forget or become lazy!

Steve when you show the line of aim, that line that runs through the object ball is that the contact point where you aim for with the cue ball.

@BartonSnooker

4 жыл бұрын

Can you see the way that line goes through the centre of the white, and then the 'ghost' white. I'm imagining where I need to get the actual cue ball to, as shown in the image, and then than gives me a line behind those two points, which I stand behind before I get down. Then you must get down and place the cue on that line.

Yet again I can't thank you enough for yr professional tuition I'm coming to England next year from New Zealand and would like to have a lesson .how do I make that happen 🤔

Whenever I play these easy shots I mostly focus on position of the cue ball and when I did this I miss it and whenever I fortunately pot the ball I didn't get desire cue ball position.why?

Thanks coach, coach I want to ask you, when I give side to the white ball, I mis poting, I don't no why

I have the same problem taking easy shots for granted. Id like to know if there's anything you can do to improve your temporament. I sulk when I miss an easy chance and struggle to get it out of my head and move on from it. Also what's best way to deal with nerves?

This is my problem, it's so frustrating, I think my problem is all in my head, sometimes I can pot them off the lampshades, other times I can't pot a ball and feel like iv never played before

Because you have not to know the real aiming...if you know how to aim the cue to object ball...you will not miss any shots..... actually the aiming has the different way between the right side pocket and left side pocket (based on you are right-hand hold cue) ...if the pocket at your left-hand side ..you see the 3:03...it will easy to let you know but if the pocket at your right handside ..I'm very difficult to talk to you in words....

Taking the shot for granted! Especially after a very difficult shot that demands 100% of our full attention and concentration and respect, but that costs high energy, and maintaining that is hard work. Because the next shot is relatively easier, so consciously or subconsciously and self misleadingly we think that we cannot miss, and to conserve energy we do not give the shot 100% of our full attention and concentration and the respect it deserves and we miss. Remember that there are no easy shots, therefor we should give 100% of our full attention and concentration and respect for every shot!

I love snooker..

Been watching you for a couple months now. I have been taking on your advice and so far i feel my potting ability is getting better but i still have difficulty getting good cue ball control with stun runs and screwbacks ect. Do you do private lessons on the south coast ? Portsmouth

On these so called easy shots I sometimes concentrate more on position than on potting so that my eyes and body focus more on where and how I hit the cue ball than where I am aiming at the object ball...then I miss.

cheers

Can you please tell me exactly what you were looking at taking that shot on the blue that shows the line of aim, I was asking this at my club but it was just getting confused replies. I understood that you look at the point on the object ball that you afe aiming at hitting but that precise point isn't on the object ball when the shot is on such an angle. If I was to look at the point on the object ball where I want it to make contact then my line of sight to the line of aim is out by the radius of the white when it makes contact with the object ball. I always feel like I have to over explain what I mean and what I'm getting at, I hooe you understand. Cheers

Nice sir .love from india.

I have an unusual problem with my right shoulder (I'm right handed). Due to carrying heavy bags over the years, my right shoulder is permanently drooped about 2 inches lower than my left. So much so that when I relax my right arm/hand, my forearm is actually BEHIND my right thigh instead to the side. I can't use the conventional, "Right leg on the line of shot" because then it'll cause my arm to point left when I bend over. I find having the line of shot between my right and left legs helps quite a bit. Any ideas Sir?
