I appreciate your channel massively. Played snooker for nearly 30 years now and your tutorials have been helping me fine tune my game the last year or so.thank you
That technique of a rest is a magic technique works on most even normal difficult shorts …is a push stroke basically avoiding back swinging coz it make it difficult to deliver cue straight if you back swing a lot ….but ofcoz this shouldn’t be a habit used on every shot
Excellent... I have a snooker cue because I was living next to a place that had a snooker table. I have moved and now only shoot 8 or 9 ball. Am I at a disadvantage using my snooker cue? Sending from Bad Axe Michigan
This weekend I went to a resort on an island in Scotland... and as we were walking around the local town I seen John Higgins sitting with his family on a bench!!! To make thinks Better he parked next to our car on the boat back and we stood next to each other and I helped him pick something up and wished him luck for this season. Totally star struck.
Shaun is still one of the more decorated players in Snooker history when you consider there are so many pros who don't even have a ranking title under their belt, but imagine what he could have achieved had he had a consistent game with the tools he has at his disposal, he plays Snooker better than anyone when he's in the zone
@@mariamalik4810 no there's a lot of doubt there with Shaun, which is weird because with such a pinpoint cue action he can do things many other players can't
It is genuinely fascinating how much you can learn about a game like snooker. Once I've got a decent sized house, I'm gonna get myself a snooker table.
I know stephen lee is a touchy subject for snooker but in my book he has the best cue a action by far. Would love to see a break down of his cue action. Thanks james Millar from ballymena northern ireland .
On the point of keeping down on the cue, I’ve heard Shaun specifically say he does the thing where he stays down a little bit extra on his shot to try and evaluate his delivery. So after years of doing that he is probably well trained at staying down over the cue for every shot, including power shots. Also, his technique is all about a long, smooth delivery with a snap at the end (much like Ronnie and Stephen Lee), rather than players like Judd, Ding, Robertson, etc who tend to hit at the white ball a bit more. So Ronnie+Murphy’s white tends to move slower but with more spin which is good in and amongst the reds+black for control, but the spin tends to wear off more over long shots than the way Neil+Judd’s shots do.
Nice vid again. Especially the rest and wrist thing...although im not completely sure ive got it. So its just dipping the cue on pull back and resting it back on chin..and relaxing last finger?
Love your channel. It's lonely here in Redford, (Detroit Mi.), where there's only one snooker table within like 50 miles. Just one question, who's your interior decorator?
I notice you throw the cue forward on some shots, I have not seen many players who play like that, definitely not in snooker. I have seen Jeffery Ignacio does so in pool. Any explaination on this?
i think this video is my number 1 for this year. cant wait to test this. would you be able to do a video on timing and execution? subscriber from new zealand.
notice you hold the cue a good 6 inch from the end.. Is that the way it should be for all players or does it depend on arm length? I have long arms and hold the cue right at the end? am I doing wrong?
Regarding the dip and lift in his action I feel its actually every good way of keeping the cue online, how? Well just accept that unwanted movement is going to happen but at least up and down will mean your still online as opposed to side to side movement.
Is it possible to.... I dunno... over-learn from different players actions?. By which I mean can you sometimes take on so many different techniques are quirks that it actually ends up making your game worse as your action becomes unnatural for you. If that makes sense.
The key when listening to expert advice or emulating other peoples' techniques is being very conscious of whether or not it makes sense to *you*. If you feel exactly why it might help you, then give it a go in practice and see if it helps. But if it doesn't, then maybe it's a technique that would do more harm than good for your own game.
Please make a video about John Higgins technique, also could you please clarify that what is attacking on cue ball? As Ronnie always says, attack on cue ball like hendry, Higgins
Just getting back to the local club now and this info is something else to work on post lockdown. Always great info, the channel has improved my game greatly. Bude, North Cornwall, UK (lets get on the map!?) Many thanks an keep up the great content. Fellow mountain biker too. Excellent work buddy!....
Brilliant content as ever. Riveting stuff. However your levels are all over the place. I think you need to use a Lavalier mike at the table. It would make a huge difference. As it is I’m continually having to increase & decrease the volume. It’s a tribute to your excellent content that I bother! It really is great stuff and much appreciated. Best wishes from Catalunya.
Hi, new subscriber here. Brilliant content! How about an analysis on the controversial slower more tactical players, Mark Selby and Peter Edbon spring to mind, and weather it's entirely fair they're accused of cheating by some or they are actually, as I believe, considering many and the best outcomes of upcoming shots.
Automatic thumbs up from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada! Great analysis and insight. I hope to apply some of your catalogue of great advice after July 11th when everything opens again here! Love your channel.
@Break from life I hope it goes well too. I'm a bit rusty at the minute, but I'm sure after a good week of holidays spent getting back to form and trying new practice routines and techniques, I'll be doing better in no time!
hello there mate, thank you for making such quality content I learn a lot from your videos but I wanna ask can you plz explain a bit more about that part of the video where you explain how far you should stand from the table so that u can not lift your bridge hand can you plz elaborate a bit more ill be very grateful to you any kinda help will be appriciated
You need to shift your center of gravity so far towards the table, that if the table wasn't there, you would fall forwards. You have essentially 3 legs you're standing on then forming a triangle. More stable than just 2 legs and arm moving wherever it wants.
