147. MAXIMUM BREAK - A Coach's perspective 

Congratulations Barry for being the great mentor for Kyren. It all contributed to the fantastic achievement he accomplished this evening becomming the Wc snooker 2024. It must be a fantastic feeling for you as well. You are inspiring for many snooker players.

Nice to see you, Mr. Stark! Looking good!

Kyren is for sure 1 step from winning WC. He maybe just needs some luck. Because all aspects of his game are great. He must be proud to have such a wise coach.

You must have felt,as we say here in the states, "like a proud papa" as you him complete that break. I have a young player that I coach in American pool,and I too am proud of the way he has progressed over the last few years. He always finishes in the money in almost every tournament he enters. Even though it is not on a world stage, it still makes me feel good when he plays well. I really hope Mr. Wilson goes on to be a champion for a long time to come. Not just for himself, but to also honor his coach. Ty for sharing this with us Mr. Stark!

It's a great and surprising Sunday, to see a Barry video. Always a pleasure

That's quite a list of names at 0:37. Your boy is in an elite company. Congratulations to you both!

Great to see your doing well barry, always a pleasure to watch your videos, I was lucky enough to watch this live. What a clearance! 👍🏻👍🏻

Watching Kyren hit the maximum gave me goosebumps! Great lad and a terrific player. Your analysis of the break made more special and informative Mr Stark. You are a fountain of snooker knowledge! Thank you for all the informative videos! Me and my 10 year old son are watching one every time we go for training and apply your tips. Keep posting :) wishing you well!

Can’t believe this is just free on RU-vid, thank you Barry Stark.

Much love from new zealand barry and kyren wonderful break

What a treat, to hear direct from one of the most respected snooker coaches in the world. Grats on Kyren's amazing performance this year Barry.

Well done Kyren, well done coach. I remember watching this on TV and thinking about how he approached every shot, that repetitive action was key especially when running slightly out of position. I’ve recently returned to the game and thoroughly enjoying it… and your videos are a great help, Thank you Mr Stark 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yesss! Great to finally see video 147, thanks Barry!

I have seen this before but when Barry explains it and after the last black tears rolled out of my eyes.lot of emotions ❤

First of all, it's very nice to see you going well and posting videos again. As usual this video is very interesting. When watching this live, it's difficult to analyze the shots because of the excitement and having your comments helps understand how such an achievement is done. Thanks and take care.

VERY informative, thanks. I knew from one of your previous videos Wilson had a long cue - 59" or 60"? - but I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out, what a long backswing he had too. "Let the cue do the work", I'm going to remember that, thanks! And lovely you personal connection, too. I always thought Wilson had the best pre-shot routine for club players like myself to copy, because it is so step by step uniform. People criticise that as "robotic" - but as you say, when you're under pressure, you want to be a robot!

I so appreciate the knowledge you share through your channel. Good to see you have more to share.

Reward for both your hard work over the years

Great video.,Thanks for talking through the maximum. Looking good Barry

so nice to see ur vid afta a long time ...keep em coming mr barry

good to see you back, Barry!

Good to see you!!!

Fantabulous to see you Master!

And well done mr Stark!

Absolutely magnificent.

Huge fan of Kyren hopefully he can take the next step

Looking well mr stark great vid thank you.

I can only imagine the tension and nerves for many of those shots. Landing nicely on the next object ball would be like a momentary relief. I would be paralyzed just playing at the Crucible let alone in the world champs and making a 147 hehe. I suspect even for a seasoned pro, that scenario would be exhausting. I think someone like Ronnie, with his current attitude of just wanting to enjoy playing and his past experiences must give him a great advantage and he is so fit... Good to see you Barry and lovely to see your pride. Kyren will be champion one day I believe :) He just needs to channel his desire. It can be such a chaotic force to hold in ones body. But what do I know anyway ;)

What a way to return!! I love this annalysis of a break. Not just a 147, but any break from a coaches perspective. Oh, and it looks like you've lost a bit of weight too. Great to see you back Barry. 😊

I love your videos, coach.

You’re back 😊

waiting for your vedios since so long.......

Hello Barry great channel 👏🏼 I have learnt so much from your fantastic videos. Snooker question: last night player got down on his 2 knees and played shot. Is this allowed? Thanks again Barry 👍🏼🔴⚫️

can you please tell me which hip do you sit on when you are about go to down ? i think i over turn my hip or i might be sitting on wrong hip, my cue butt is always to the left of line of aim, offline. and i am sure the hip is causing it, do you sit on your right hip or left hip ? my right leg (leading leg) from behind looks like this \ and lots of gap between grip hand and the trouser pocket. please help me thank you

Barry, this was a treat to watch. Very insightful. Thank you! If I may ask a question - when I play for longer periods, I get pain in my bridge arm and left shoulder/neck. Do you have any tips to reduce tension? I've tried stretching etc.

Kyren Wilson isn’t one of my favourites but he’s a great player

Please make more videos barry!!

Hey man i am beginner and I always miss easy shot or can't screw back and cushion shot also tough for me make a video on this shots

A have a riley cue from Bill Waberniuk.Its ok to use it?

Great achievement by Kyren, although I have my doubts that he'll ever win a WC. He seems too inconsistent to me compared with the top guys.

Barry are you a world war 2 veteran?

@BarryStarkSnookerCoach Yesterday I miscued the cue ball and it jumped over red ball and then it touched the black ball, so my question is, is that a foul of 4 or 7, I was convinced that it was a foul of 4 as when it jumped the red ball that instance only it was a foul, and as no illegal ball was pocketed so it will remain a foul of 4, but many are syaing that it's a foul of 7, can you please clear this rule out.

When was the last time kyren has chenged the ferrule of his cue, if he has chenged it some day?

17:36 1, 2, 3, 4, wait.... cue!

Why was Selbys 147 missing from the list?

Hello sir

Barry, was that you who jumped up on the table spreading orange powder everywhere? Why did you do it Barry? WHY?

Have you ever got a 147 barry?

Play it on 1.25 but cant feel the difference

Still not quite as good as O'Sullivans fastest 147
