3 Reasons Why You Can't Screw Back! 

Only now I realized I've made a comment about the same thing!! incredible!

YOU MEAN BEING RONNIE ??

@Vicente Joaquin Why hack your gf account. If you don't trust her you shouldn't be with her. Grow up!

Ikr😂😂😂

Hey that's also great advice. Thankyou!

Go fuck yaself!

Like wise

Holy shit - who is your opponent? O'Sullivan?

Ive done that a few times

Hahahhahah right

Definitely

I notice that aswell there’s a sound the balls make when you just no you’ve hit it right and you think “that’s in” 😆

Click...Click...BOOM

@Paul Mathews The trick is to find the best queue and share it, and know when you can get away with licking the chalk off it before passing it

Jimmy white does exactly what Steve is telling you not to do, as stated by Clive Everton, on commentary, because of the same reason as stated. Miss cue or scooping the ball.

Thank you 🙂

No, Thank you. I got a game on Tuesday. Getting all the hints and tips I can before the season starts again. :D

Thank you!

Ha! Many thanks. That's much appreciated 🙂

Boy Racer same to be honest

Never start changing your bridge hand, that's a deffo no no, snooker is basically entirely about playing a shot repetitively over and over again, the moment you start trying to raise your bridge or lower your bridge you'll struggle.

Challenge: ...You need to play those shots carefully to make sure you don't foul with a push shot/double hit. But to generate the backspin without the cue going all the way through is a bit like playing a punch shot in golf.. LOL It is though, you stab the cue ball, you do follow through playing desired side, if you're reversing the screw shot you play the opposite side you're facing, to spin left you play bottom right and vice versa, you put the tip through the cue ball faster than you normally would. Not power, but speed of tip. A little PUNCH, and you'll get it zipping back and spinning off the cushion.

Or if you want to be flash, you come down on top of the cue ball looking down on it with your butt over your head and drop the tip through the back of the cue ball on desired side. Only you'll get glared at for drumming your tip straight down on the cloth in some snooker halls LOL, but you'll not rip it provided your steep enough.

Worlds End , All good points. Thanks. Been watching a lot of RU-vid snooker over the last year. Very different than pool in many ways. What I am not understanding is the q-ball and object ball bouncing, after rolling the q-ball straight across the table. Why the hop? I'm in US, Didn't know much about Rocket, or snooker for that matter. I think Ronnie is amazing, watched every video on him. What do you think of him? Is he controversial? $13million isn't bad for carer earnings.

Relax your rear hand and hold it loosely between finger and thumb. You'll deliver the cue much straighter through the white and will need far less power to generate great spin. Get that cue tip all the way through the cue ball, not hard just standard pace and you'll get better and better at it, it's all in cueing, good timing and the delivery of the cue. Imagine the other side of the cue ball and your cue tip coming through.

Yeah the loose thumb and forefinger grip is a good tip, also try closing the hand on the final delivery of the cue especially on screw shots. Also pause on the final back swing, slowly accelerate through the shot (these two things are the mystery of "timing" ). Also watch how he lines up his shot from standing behind the shot and swings the cue onto line, develop this for every shot. For a fun practice go as low as you normally go, then push the boundaries and go even lower. Do this with side as well go as far as you think you can go then go a bit more so the tip is seemingly almost missing the white , you get some amazing side spin reactions. I'm a retired pool player, so these tips work well with a small white. I was practicing this once and a pro player was sitting at the bar watching me, afterwards he said he didn't know how I did a couple of those shots, I just said I just put maximum side on, he said I know, I didn't tell him I was playing side to the absolute max seemingly missing the ball :). I find I played best with a slight feeling of aggression, and slight showmanship, arrogance in a nice way. I dunno why I ended up writing all this :), hope it makes sense to someone.

Many thanks. You're Dave, right? Channel name has thrown me off 😆

@@BartonSnooker @@BartonSnooker haha Ye I'm Dave. Changed the channel name to try and brand the channel. I even managed to get some tips off Century Cue Tips so currently doing a giveaway only the channel. What tip do you play with Steve? I'm on G4 at the min. Liking it. Used laminated tips for years and not long stuck this on. Plays nice

@@CueBaldI tried Century Cue Tips and the first 3 or 4 I used were great. I always used a Grade 1 as I like a soft tip. Then I ordered a new box of G1, and they were absolutely rock hard. Tried a couple more out the box and they were both the same. So I haven't used them since. I had then heard a few people who had the exact same experience as me. I use Elkmaster Pro Soft now and they have been much better.

@@BartonSnooker Ah right. That's interesting. Must be quite common for pressed tips to have inconsistency in them

@@CueBald that's it. Very common for pressed tips to be inconsistent. That's fine if you're buying a box of 50 Elkmaster tips. But if you're paying £5 per tip and they're meant to be tested for hardness each time, that's no good. I'd happily pay that much for each tip (even more in fact), but not if they're totally inconsistent.

Get that cue tip all the way through the cue ball, not hard just standard pace and you'll get better and better at it, it's all in cueing, good timing and the delivery of the cue. Imagine the other side of the cue ball and your cue tip coming through.

gixxerman69 Do u think follow through also help to create forward momentum of cue ball？

@@akumakuma2547 Indeed it does as that is simple physics. For top-spin shots the spin adds to the forward momentum. With screw shots, the screw has to overcome the forward momentum.
