Welcome.back Barry a great demo bring it on great 2 see you

Thanks for all you do Barry. Your calm voice, clear explanations, and excellent form are a joy to learn from.

Thanks Barry, today I made my first ever yellow to black clearance in a practice, tried to remembered your words as best as I could and it worked

Thanks you so much Barry, you are a great coach! I learnt so much from this video.

Barry is the best coach.❤❤❤

He's a really good player. Love how he's potting with two cue balls at once.

Hi Barry! You don't know me, but my name is Steven Kerr. I am a new zealand subscriber to your channel. I just want to compliment you on 2 subjects. Firstly, I like the way you teach. You have a great way of explaining how to play different types of shots. I particularly enjoyed the videos involving the play around the black ball (From black to yellow). And clearing the colours (Clearing The Colours). Secondly. I enjoyed watching the video of Kyren Wilson practicing the 'T' lineup. I found that extremely beneficial. As I have adopted part of his 'pre-shot' routine. The pause at the cue-ball. This has helped me immensely. Both during practice, and during actual play. MY HEARTFELT GRATITUDE GOES OUT TO YOU! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE ALL THE VIDEO THUS FAR!!

I've been having a marathon of watching almost all of your videos these past few days.. I love playing snooker but I'm not very good at it..your coaching videos are very helpful and I've learned a lot. Now i feel like renting a table tomorrow and put it to practice. Would love to beat my friends at snooker because i don't usually win when i play 😆 Thank you.

Another excellent video Barry , we are all very Grateful for the time you spend , trying to make us Better !!!!!! , cheers :)

Barry. Thank you for your service to fellow players.Ontario Canada

Wow, I used to be able to clear the colours but in a different way. Your lesson makes it easier to think about position.

thank so much i asked for it and im so happy that you do a video about the colours so fast!!

Thank you so much. Have a great day!

Excellent tips , Sir !!!!

100% ur the best coach Barry...thanks

great video ..i clarified most of my shots thanks

Thanks Barry!

Thankyou Barry but what I would really like to know is: 1. How to pot the yellow or green from their spots when you're on the wrong side of their spots? Meaning potting blind into their nearest pockets or otherwise accross the table into the opposite corner. I too often pot the white into the opposite corner whilst doing this. 2. How to pot the pink from an awkward angle without putting the white in as well? For example potting almost strait up the table, potting the pink into a centre pocket. Also potting the pink into the corner, playing pretty straight down the table avoiding the in off. These shots may seem pifflingly easy to you but most players are far from pros and fouls on the pink especially are all too common place. Please don't duck out and say you should play safety instead, imagine it's a shot you've got to go for to save the frame.

Appreciate another quality video and the learning coming from it - thanks Barry. I've recently viewed a few and I wanted to ask in relation to stance if you have to position yourself so that the bottom part of the cue is placed underneath you chin? I think in my lifetime of watching Snooker, the only professional player I've seen do differently is the late Alex Higgins. His cueing action is unique. I'm actually too coming from the angle of playing mainly pool and little snooker. I have started lowering my position so that my eye line is closer to viewing the object ball and it genuinely does make a difference.

Good shooting, nice video..

Thank you very much for all these videos Barry they've given me a much better understanding, I have 2 questions - if you don't mind. 1. In your videos I.e this one would you mind including where you are striking the cue ball I.e touch of left hand side or "a quite little stun". 2. Is there any time (apart from when you've got to "get out of the way") where you would not get "through" the cue ball?? Thanks again for all your videos and time in making them.

I really enjoyed that, and that just gave me a thought. What is your highest break in snooker cause you sound a really good player.

thanks barry!

Sir, Can u please do a video where cue ball is very close to cushion or touching cushion & also the different awkward bridge positions across the table. when playing white ball on the cushion where should we hold the stick? short grip or at the end of the stick or should we shorten our stance distance? please guide us on this. thank you.

Great video, I look forward to going to the club and practising the concepts you have brilliantly presented in videos. I was just wondering what microphone do you use in videos?

Thank You Sir

I love these videos, I am a decent pool player, but i never seem to be able to consistantly pot snooker balls. Barry, is there any advice for a practice technique that will help me consistantly pot balls on a snooker table? Does the quality of the table matters in my potting success? Because back in my country, Romania, we do not have top class snooker table or cues.

thank you sir

Didn't know they played good quality snooker in Winterfell.

Hi Barry great videos ...could you tell us where on the white ball you are hitting it pls . Regards John..snooker beginner

Another great video I have a question ? I tend to pull my cue towards my body at the end of the backswing. However my coach told me to put my right leg abit to the right of line of aim ( I'm right handed player ) . But I find that It makes me offline . How do I fix this ? Tnx

Hi Barry. What do you think of my idea? Putting red balls on all the spots and no colours on the table. Each time you pot a red you replace it and keep shooting. No particular order but just to learn some lines and get some flow happening. Cheers

Could you please film a video on the topic of mental or sociological snooker. It would help a lot thanks.

I potted the blue ball and the cue ball took its place while all the other wpots were occupied. The question is where the blue ball must be respotted?

Hi Barry, ive been playing for a couple of years and am ok at potting reds and even getting ok position on a colour, but I seem to mostly bugger up shots on the black due to the added stress, any tips on getting over this?

Barry, I watch you & Dennis play a game in the room with the electric score board . Where may I find this in Canada, how do You like it, and is it voice activated ? Tells more on this score board. Thanks G.W. S. Feb / 12/017.

Hi .. I want you to correct me, I used to play snooker game with different type bridge like creating bridge by enrolling my thumb over index finger while placing my palm over table .so I want to know that should I continue with my own bridge or shift to open bridge .. I was playing snooker for four years. Some times it is very frustrating .. My bridge is right or wrong .

I want to ask what when u clearing colour balls and theres no more red on the table and the white cue ball went in with the colour, do we need to put the colour ball back or just continue with the following colour and opponent will get the foul points

sir please explain about half ball quarter 3/4 quarter hit and how to recognize these shots

Barry do you have any tips on stunning the cue ball

Hi sir m from nepal..can you plz do a video of playin half ball n quarter ball with nice explanation

sir my bridge thumb drops always while playing shot please suggest your kind and needy help

Another excellent video, many thanks..... I noticed that you have a clockwise rotation of the cue (in the two shots on the pink). Is this intentional? I noticed the same here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aor1dnndksU.html by Terry Griffiths. In the late '70's and early '80's I had a half sized table, with quarter sized balls and did something similar while trying to imitate Alex, and it seemed to help with grip. Do you know if it puts side on the object ball?

Barry misprinted your name Sorry WILL nOT HAPPEN AGAIN,

Am I the only one who thinks cue ball is stupid as and white ball sounds better

Love your videos Barry. Just wanted to get your take on my view of the colours routine as Ive been playing snooker for 30 years and basically given up practising it because as you said you will always get a different scenario due to position from your choice of colour the quality of your shot and what is possible. Would you agree for me to stop as I have never been able to master the clearance and secondly the scenario is always different
