just a question? as you walk in you look at the object ball, but when you look at the cueball as you getting down, do you focus on center of the cue ball or the entire cueball. becaz as i get down somehow because of my upper body turn my cue tip ends up to right side of the cueball and then i have to readjust? thank you , please reply
A newbie here. There appears to be room for 3 balls in that box. So, what kind of ball was the third one then? If it was different from a colour in standard snooker, what variation was that ball used for? I guess it's not the golden ball they use in the Riyadh Season World Masters.
This is fascinating. Never realised how much stance affects your comfort levels on the shot
I sight with my strong eye not my dominant eye .
Hello, I would like to ask about the cue case. Real leather, aluminum, PU, which one can block or reduce moisture and temperature?
hi, how to hold the grip on line of aim? while standing should the grip hand be already on line of aim above the right leg? seems that as i am getting down and my body turns my grip hand goes offline ??? tnx
More of this please
Do you deliberately pause after the backswing? In this video your pause after the backswing is longer compared to the videos where you're making centuries in line-up or making century wearing a head cam How long should the back pause be?
These small tips are gold dust no body bothers to tell u this but i feel its the soul of the game shot approach good work coach keep it up,
That is genius. Making you know where the white is by hitting it. It sounds so obvious now haha. I'm loving these videos. A proper coach, loving these videos!
Interesting. I'm very left eye dominant and right handed. I was at home the other day and just decided to pick my cue up and mess around with what feels better, and I did this exact pivot thing you're talking about, by walking in and putting my right foot across the line of aim, with the middle of my foot on the line. I instantly realised that I have much more room to freely move my wrist and hand without coming into contact with my chest early. I think for me now, the issue is trapping the cue with my chest and chin better. The chin position I have is good because it traps it using the left side of my chin, and the right side of my chest, and then on my bridge hand too. Like a tripod. Got my first ton in the lineup the other week, literally a day or 2 afer discovering this. Also, I've got to make sure I do this every shot and not fall back into my old habit of having my right foot and leg pointing towards the shot. Loving your channel mate!
Fabolous observer
What is the purpose of this drill?
To learn at what speed the cue ball breaks on the nap.... and what speed you have to hit the ball to avoid it breaking on the nap
Thank u, Nic! Breaking here means change direction, is it? @@TheSnookerGym
Genuise
I usually look at the cue ball while I pull my cue back, and look at the OB as I deliver. Does that mean i am neither?
Unfortunately I think this new cueing technique etc ruined his chances at the worlds this year
There is no cueing technique mentioned in this video at all
@@TheSnookerGym I appreciate that, he did mention in an interview post match he was fiddling with his cue action?
I know this is old video and you probably dont care by now, but when you asked how many cues passed his hands every week. He said 50 to the lady but she told you 10. Thought I'd comment to let you know 🙂
Thank you for picking this up WMV!
Fucking snatchville 😂
You must unlearn what have learned!😮
What was all that about
Your explanation of parallel line aiming system isn't cerect, and it does work
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong! I do, however, await a proof for your alternative facts!
Ronnie had more coaches than a bus terminal. I know why he won before and why he lost ...mindset not right nothing to do with ability
A bus terminal manages buses
@@TheSnookerGym well i saw you coach him twice n both times he lost ...keep it up berk... love from B Stark P Ebdon n K Wilson.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the GOAT PUFFWAH
Looking a bit chubby Ron ooooh lol
I thought Ronnie was not bothered about snooker. He has had more coaches that the rest of the top 8 put together.
What does a coach knows about the game that Ronnie doesn’t?
Without saying too much- stop, just stop it. Unless you are paying lots to coach the greatest talent and best performing snooker player in the history of this sport. 😂
?
@@TheSnookerGym If you coached Ronnie during the WSC 2024, then obviously it has affected his game. Losing to Bingham a player he owns by miles says it all.
How can I stop pushing the cue to the left as my elbow ends up out side the line on the push through, amazing videos 😊
Break or no break I’m just impressed how you both kept potting blues from the cushion!
Awesome to see Ronnie keen, I had a day with Nic a few years ago. Invaluable knowledge I gained that day!
Beautiful
Thank you
Imagine trying to teach Ronnie how to play snooker 🤦♂️😳🤦♂️
It is a welcome stretch of, and addition to, my skills and experience.
should you be looking at the the white or the pocket when you complete the stroke!!!!
CB or OB (depending on preference) when striking CB with tip, then watch OB all the way to pocket or cushion, then watch CB until it stops. This is your date from which you can diagnose your shot.
thanks for your response
Hey Nic, can you or anyone else in the comments explain what they mean by "break"?
Fantastic
This video saved me
Simply great❤
This is a VERY helpful video. Thanks!
The 2nd greatest player of all time Ronnie O'Sullivan after the GOAT Stephen Hendry 🐐🍀🏳️🌈
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re watching the goat !
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the GOAT 🐐 PUFFWAH
Again? SlowpokeEnglishPuffWah- STILL, Upset that Ronnie O'Sullivan won the player of the season award, and even more upset that the Rocket refused to goose him up. Ronnie is the most successful player in snooker. GOAT of snooker Ronnie O'Sullivan 🐐🍀🏳🌈
EnglishPufWah. What a sad individual hating on the greatest player of all time Ronnie O'Sullivan 🐐🍀🏳🌈
@@markoliver9340 The guy is me puffdadWayne Who loves Judd Trump Ronnie O'Sullivan is the GOAT 🐐
Wow. Im honoured you share advice with me if you coach this man!!
Thank you SJ!
@@TheSnookerGym Youre very welcome
Imagine me teaching English to Shakespeare.
I know it's ludicrous
*Nic ... something I've noticed in Ronnie's recent action. Has he tried to reduce the "elbow drop" ???*
This was a miserable failure. You ruined the best player in the world. The best safety player of 2024 had zero safety in the world championship. And all the medium to hard pots, what you call the key pots of the game, they ALL stayed out.
Also stroke deceleration is possible on these soft roll shots making them more difficult. Any tips to prevent deceleration on these shots?
Great to see but if I could give a bit of advice, I've noticed lately that every time Ronnie goes into the pack off the black he has always been on nothing lately. I think it's time to change the way he goes into the pack because if you notice other players like Higgins and Gilbert , they are always on something usually. That's the only part of Ronnie's game what needs tweeking I my opinion. It's just allowing his opponents to get back to the table a LOT
Nuts this
Is this prectese for a blue max sir
SIR!!!!!
Fascinating!! Can't wait to see more!! 🤞
Is it fascinating though?
Wow thanks so so much aporeciste
What a gold dust vid, thanks Nic. But can I ask, does Ronnie bring his problem areas to you, or do you decide what he needs to work on? Maybe on future vids like this you could give a bit more background about what you two are working on. Thank you so much!
Yes, we need the details
