Snooker Practice | 3 Reds Break Building | Snooker Lesson 

That's awesome to hear Craig. Very well done. Lots more videos to come 🙂

I echo that :) I literally end up breaking the pockets :)

Remember to chalk you cue after every shot it helps a lot!!!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Many thanks. Thank you for watching 🙂

Thank you!

Thanks a lot Mark. Really glad you found it useful!

Thanks a lot Greg!

Absolutely awesome Aaron! Well done 😀

Many thanks 🙂

Thanks Lee. I will try to get one uploaded in the future 🙂

So could all of the professionals when they first started! It's important to remember you are only competing with yourself. Follow the tips in this video and keep practicing and you will start to see improvements. Just aim to be a little bit better each month 🙂

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Will do that.

I have to get down to the root cause of the issue, which will be different for all players. It's very hard to help without working with a player.

Hi there, You will see my email in the video description. Send me an email and I can send over full details of my training details 🙂

Awesome. Well done 😃

Hi there. It's always a funny subject when it comes to using side. You are right in that it isn't essential that I use side spin, but for me, I find it more reliable to play these little stun shots with a touch of "helping side", to just throw me a bit wide off the cushion. I have heard Ronnie O'Sullivan, Shaun Murphy and Graham Dott comment on doing exactly the same thing. In that they play a lot of shots with a flick of side spin. It always raises eyebrows when players play with a bit of side as I am doing in this break, but in my experience LOTS of very good players use bits of side to help the position of the white. Side is especially useful when you're a bit high on the black, and you're bouncing off the black cushion and coming up for reds. With a stun shot here, a small mistake in height on the cue ball can take the white on a totally wrong path. However, is you play with plain ball and a touch of side spin, you can alter the angle that the cue ball comes off the cushion much more reliably. With plain ball, the white will always hit the black cushion in the same place, and then you just alter the line it takes up the table with varying amounts of side. Some players may do it differently to me and prefer to varying amounts of stun. However, lots of others also do it just like me. Just like in my other videos, get used to basic positional shots around the pink and black first, and then you can experiment with side spin and how it may be useful for controlling the white ball more effectively.

Also, have a look at this interview with Graham Dott saying he rarely plays plain ball: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6XAIr7lhEQ4.html

But some times when a club player just like me try to.use side the object ball usually takes a different path , is there any tip to keep the object ball in line while using sides cos I am really scared of using lot of sides cos I usually miss the pot thanks

@@bilalyaqub2833 it takes practice because you must understand how the cue ball behaves when playing with side and make small adjustments in the potting line. I will hopefully do a video in the near future explaining how side spin works. Just for you reference I have found the quote from Shaun Murphy talking about side as well: Shaun Murphy: "Most players i know use side on most shots. I play nearly every shot with running / helping side."

Thanks for you advise , looking forward to watch your video

Hi Jas, It could be a few things that are causing the problem. The grip itself could mean you are losing control of the cue. It's difficult without actually seeing you play to diagnose the problem though. It could also be the way you are set-up on the shot making it difficult to keep everything on-line. The elbow sticking out slightly isn't necessarily a problem, so again, I'd need to see your set-up. My advice would be to do your cue action VERY SLOWLY with no balls. Just get down on the table and feel the cue action all the way through the backswing and then the delivery to the chest. Try to feel what how the grip is working, how the arm is moving, and what is causing you to pull the cue in slightly. Hope that's helps a bit 🙂

I say that because if you go down a little more on the cueball you will have the same result thank you for your answer

@@dynmow7426 complicated to explain in a message. But the margin for errors is better playing with side than it is if I only play with stun. This is something I am teaching in my sessions all the time.

@@BartonSnooker hello barton thank you once again for your very constructive video can you make us a dedicated video just for the black with side spin to really show us the usefulness because it is very important aspect for cueball control thank you

Many thanks. Glad you are enjoying the videos 🙂

Many thanks Preston Guru! I really appreciate the support and comments like this are fantastic 🙂

Thank you 😀

Thanks very much 😄. I do the same with other RU-vid videos to be honest!

Thanks a lot Scott. Really appreciate you watching 🙂

Very painful 😜

Thank you Simon

Thanks Lloyd. Keep going. As long as you can keep seeing improvements that's all that matters. Just try to be a bit better each week than you were last week.

That’s generally what happens Steve, and then randomly I have a shocker and can’t pot a thing! I’ve assessed that as getting sloppy with attacking the white and decelerating rather than being disciplined with timing.

Thanks David much appreciated 🙂

Cheers Damien!

Thanks Simon.

I would really slow down my cue action when I had a problem like this. Don't even have the white ball , just get down on the baulk like. Then move your arm backwards and forwards and all the way to the chest, and get a feel for what you need to do to keep the cue online. You should then hopefully feel what starts to make the hand twist and be able to get a feeling for keeping the wrist more locked.

Thank you for the reply will.try this o feel it only happens when I try a firmer shot not when I play soft but then I feel I can't control the ball as well . I'm a 10 handi cap I'm not good by all means

Thank you!

Thank you. Make sure to practice and you will make it look easy as well 🙂
