I am from Pakistan, start playing snooker in this month. I found so much problem to pot ball. Now i learned my mistake from your channel. Its amazing, complete science. Thanks
I recently just had my first 50 break 15 years of age started a year ago and consistently watched your videos throughout Love the channel ❤ Callum From Essex
To find out where your cue should be in line with your stance is best explained by Ralph Eckhart. I learnt this method and it totally changes my take on curing. It all starts with a relaxed standing in an upright position holding a balanced cue. Look it up it's amazing.
I rest my chin on the cue even so much sometimes pushing the chin into the cue and arcing/bending the cue slightly. This technique (observed from O’sullivan and Robertson) has changed my ‘pool’ game significantly for potting 7,8 and nine footers. I haven’t had a chance to apply to snooker yet. I also line up the shot and then ignore everything else but striking center cue ball. I also love/enjoy your RU-vid work! BTW - we’re from Ann Arbor Michigan US…
Aloha from Kihei, Maui (Hawaii)! Love learning from your videos, thank you so much for such a wealth of information. Even though I'm stuck with playing american pool/billards on mostly smaller tables, the techniques I'm learning from you carry over wonderfully well, espeically since it seems like snooker requires greater accuracy than american/U.S. style pool. So mahalo and thank you!
Watching your videos always makes me want to get my own snooker table and practice! At the moment I’m stuck with my phone as my table with the WST app 😆 I’ve also been watching for so long now, I love your videos and find them amazingly influencing! Keep it up! ❤️
Great video! Very useful. However, there is one more aspect of the game, which I think is very important and causes many mistakes in cueing and potting the balls. Very often you just can't get to the cue ball 100% comfortably. You have to bend a little bit more forward to reach the cue ball, other balls are disturbing you to place your bridge freely on the table, or the cue ball is closer to the cushion and so on. All this makes is way more difficult to keep the right body position and the straight line you need. Would be nice to see the tips on how not to wabble and how to keep your technique in these situations. Thanks for the content
Loved you videos for a while but I've got a conundrum for you. I've loved snooker since I was a wee lad and have tried to play for around the same time, however I have never improved. Seeing where the cue ball needs to go is a major issue for me. Standing over the shot I see where the ball needs to be struck however when I get down on the cue ball it's a guessing game from there, everything blurs out and I lose shot everytime. Half an hour of playing my thumb of my bridge hand hurts, my neck hurts and my eyesight doesn't doesn't correct itself for sometime after even after trying glasses. Should I just give up trying to play?
If it's your hobby or passion why stop. Maybe you just can't see where you're lacking. Try hiring a mentor, it really helps correcting your stance and do a lot of practice. Practice doesn't make you perfect but can improve your skills. Good luck
As the other commenter said, if it’s something you enjoy then keep playing. Play because you want to play, not because you want to get better. If you can learn to accept that you’re as good as you are, and stop focussing on trying to improve, you will enjoy it even more. Having said that, if you don’t want to rule out that you’re at your ceiling, have a lesson or two with a coach and see what they say
Hardest thing in snooker is sending the cue ball to where you want it to arrive. I can run the ball up and down the spots but put a ball in the way and it all changes. I can consistently knock in mid-range straight shots but even the slightest of angles, especially cuts to the right give me totally random outcomes. Still trying to sort it, never give up if it's something you enjoy!
@@sfan3725 wow,that's unusual as most people will find it much easier to pot at an angle rather than straight pots. You must have a good cue action if you're consistently knocking in straight pots
