3 SECRETS Every Player Should Learn (w/ Ben Foster) 

Stephen’s ability to make a pack of reds so effortlessly without the triangle is so satisfying to watch

These lessons just go to show that snooker is so much more than just getting the angles right. And Ben is doing a great job here for a non-pro

Simply brilliant, Stephen is such a natural presenter + tutor with a great personality, best YT channel I'd say.

I love how Stephen freely shares trade secrets of the game. What a brilliant presenter and tutor.

Fabulous stuff. I’m going to be practising shots off the cushion this week after watching this. Great video again from Stephen and the team!

Without question the best snooker channel out there. Did notice when playing the blue to smash the pack open, Ben ‘steers’ the cue when he hits it. Watch the butt end flick out to the left.

This is spot on for me, exactly what this channel should be doing - really great stuff.

Great video, could have been twice as long, Ben is such a nice chap.

Really great stuff. Not only is this the best snooker channel but the best RU-vid channel overall. But what to expect from the Greatest snooker player and the biggest personality anyway, right? Such a treat! I'll open a bottle of bubbles when Stephen reaches the well-deserved 100.000 subs soon. Cheers!

This channel is such a breath of fresh air, love it!!

This channel is superb and Stephen explains the shot so well.

I could have watched a much longer video. It's an amazing channel and time just flies watching your videos

What a great channel this is. A positive thing for snooker in general, keep em coming Stephen! I think the BBC should commission a series! 👍

Absolutely loving this channel 😁😁😁

Loving these tips from Stephen seem to be watching more and more of his vids

Here's my little tip for cushion shots for what it's worth: Like Stephen said keep the cue as parallel to the table as possible, you may even feel the tip drag slightly on the baize (mine always does) I feel this helps keep the tip on centre of the cueball and not put unwanted side on. Stephen also mentioned earlier in the video about the pause in the cue action before striking the cue ball. This to me is when it can help massively (when on cushion shots) as your taking your last feather.....pause, then use the time in the pause to look at the object ball and hit it online. This really works and once you get the nak of it you won't go back to doing what you did before learning this little tip. If your dead straight to middle and on the cushion focus on keeping the head still, pause.....then most importantly focus on delivering the cue as straight as possible (as if your cueing your cue through both balls and into the centre of the pocket. This really really helps with straight shots, especially to the middle. Hope that helps somebody for what it's worth. Enjoy🙂🎱

The little leader boards he has for various things are good fun. Great channel.

For shots close to the cushion I’ve found putting extra attention on looking at the cue ball helps to get no side on the cue ball also the shots to the middle if you don’t think it’s going in, it’s not, never play a shot with doubts in your head it’ll never go in

That Hendy challenge shot was beautiful! And I'm giving that a B+ in my personal scoring table .. Chris' was a B.

Very good class. I like it so much

Good video Stephen, thank you

Great video keep it up 👍🏽

Stephen always helpful

For a game that involves terms like 'pots' and 'plants' it's probably not a good idea to have plants in pots just next to the table! 🤓

Excellent… as usual..👍

Here's my personal tip, which actually applies not only to cue ball on cushion as well as pink ball potting, but at pretty much all shots: Chin must remain on the cue from the moment you're going down on the shot until object ball gets to pocket. Not only it guarantees that head remains still, but also it's an additional point of contact for the cue, which helps with straight cueing!

Gr8 Stuff, as usual. 👍

Top class! 👍🏼

Love it!

I'd give anything to have a lesson from the most ruthless winner in sport like Ben has had here 🎉❤

Such a good channel.

Brilliant

At 5:43 the man of the match trophy he got was from the 2011 carling cup final

Lunge hahahaha love it Ben

Id like to see your guest have 10 attempts at challenges so we can see how they get better rather than just doing it until they get it right once

6.28 the most important tips I learn

SH: "I think the plant distracted you... an actual plant!"

Stheph toooooo authentic. 💪✊️

with side shots, watch the cue ball hit the spot on red ball

Good coach คุณhendry อยากให้มาทื่ประเทศไทยเราและมาฝีกให้ผมแทงได้แม่นๆด้วนได้ไหครับ

Did anyone else notice that Ben lifts his bridge hand while he's delivering the cue?

Ben has pretty good technique I would say

Was this reposted?

I thought Stephen might have picked Ben's bridge hand moving as well.

1 take Ben 🤣 this channel is top drawer

Chris Hughes vs Ben Foster when ?

Funny how he asked Stephen to help him with the side pocket , poor guy still has nightmares from Williams

👍

I hope he sends you a copy of the paper!

If the pack was touching the pink, he would have freed a lot more reds 😅

God Bless John Higgins 🍀

Ben could use a little help with his stance as well.😉😊

0:30 Those plants are in the way. Nothing more annoying than trying to take a shot only to find stuff behind you in the way.

Hendry saying those pockets are quite forgiving... Then immediately after he says how they're very close to professional tournament standard... Yeah, those look tight AF mate. I've never seen pockets that tight outside of tournament tables anywhere, and at a glance on camera, they look no more generous than the tournament ones anyway, so the difference must be minuscule. Hendry is just so used to the pro tables he considers those forgiving. Wow.

This was done 3 weeks ago not 22 hours ago.

Keep your head still, except if you're Alan McManus.

Hendry can still be a top player if it practiced a little I don't know why he doesn't just play in events and stop waisting the tour card.

Hendry's conceit is mind boggling..Was happy beating a slightly above average pissed out bottler Jimmy.and over the hill Davis! Never beat a great player in world finals but rather lost to players like Ken & Ebdon in world finals lmao What’s funnier Is hendry was effectively finished as an elite player in his early thirties.The piss poor era great! 👎👎

Impeded by a 'plant' no pun intended lol 2:38 on the rest shot tip too far away from cue ball, come on Stephen! On slow mo replay you can see he hit the pink slightly on left side looking at it from below, still good!

Correct
