Steve is the real deal. I had a 2 hour coaching session back in October. Before oct I had 1 century break practicing by myself with colors on spots and reds spread. Since oct I have had 9 centuries. Since I have been fanatical about snooker for 40 years I can’t believe how 2 hours coaching with steve helped me immensely. I have a table at home in Chicago which I have only had for less than 2 years. Couple of my mates can’t believe the improvement in my game. Planning to enter the Senior championship in Canada March . Cheers Steve!
Cant understand why people thumb down this, the way you provide information makes it much less comlicated i wish had this knowledge 10 years ago. Thanks Steve keep it up 👍
Hi there! It's something I'd like to do, although most people don't like being on video, so it's tricky to get people to play against. I do have video from a couple of years ago where I make a century against a practice partner, so I could upload that if it's something people are interested in.
@@BartonSnookerHello Steve, yes, please do upload that video. What I'd really be interested in is a proper snooker game where the rules are extended with this item: The player on MUST speak out loudly whatever is in his or her mind. Such a game between two pro players would be fascinating but you could go ahead and demonstrate it with an opponent who is willing to cooperate.
Yet again another absolutely brilliant video with clear and straight forward instruction. Steve you truly are amazing. Thank you so much. And looking forward to some coaching
Top video this! Will be trying this next time. Your videos have really helped me to understand the angles, something I really struggle with so thanks for the help. Keep up the good work. Look forward to your next video. 👍
Simple yet effective, I feel my game has improved after a week of doing this, thanks, fyi I find it especially helpful to watch your positional play where you also show the graphic of exactly where you hit the cue ball on each shot, again especially around the black where we all get those same shots regularly and I struggle with some angles to get the white where I want it which has also improved and become a lesser issue after practising this routine, cheers.
Great video. I just recently started playing and was looking for some instructional videos on RU-vid, and I found your channel to be excellent! This video with the graphics on where you hit the cue ball with the tip of the cue is really helpful to understand how to control the ball. Brilliant stuff, keep them coming!
Just tried this tonight and got 73. Never scored so high before, 1 black i potted i had the white higher than the pink as i ran out of position. Awesome video and help thanks alot, this was alot harder than u made it look i had to come of side and top cushions multiple times.
Incredibly useful routine that really does what the title says it should. What the title does not say is that it also helps in focus&concentration as well as, incredibly enough, angle recognition (simply because you aim at same-ish angles over and over so you know where *not* to hit the cue ball when you “lose” the position). Been doing this routine regularly the entire practice session for two months, no other; started off with 16 breaks, only to count 7 or 8 blacks couple of weeks after. For a beginner, there’s no better way to start to build confidence. Off to next routine, hopefully Steve will show us some in coming months.
Hi steve great quality video as always. use a similar routine like this all the time but at the other end of the table with the baulk colours, really brings on your cue ball control, keep up the great work
Im currently playing my friend first to 100 frames..mentioned i was watching an on line video tutorial..as did he..turns it its steves videos weve both been watching without the other knowing..my highest break is in the 60s but in adapting to these structures and making more consistent smaller breaks..improving all the time thanks to your amazing videos steve.
hi steve just to let you no after about an hour of doing your practice routine i managed to pot fifteen reds and fifteen blacks but missed the yellow. great exercise thank you cant wait for the next one. ALEX.
Hey Steve, keep up the videos they are immensely helpful! Any chance you could do a video explaining where the cue ball will end up? Finding it hard to leave it where I want it to go.
Have been doing this practice routine for a while now and have added a red also under pink (like 10 cm). Its very usefull for your game. It hit 80-ish here the other day. I dont put the reds back on the table until They all 3 are potted. Makes it harder due to position. Thanks for sharing this video 🥰👍🔴⚫️🔴⚫️
Excellent. It would be good to do the same thing but alternate the positions of the reds so they are between the pink and blue to practice around the middle bags. Very adaptable exercise.👍🏻
Hey Steve. Good drill this. Will try this and aim for the maxi when I'm next down the club. I can see an improvement in my game since coming to see you in November 👍keep in touch
That's great to hear. Yeah, I definitely think you can do the maxi in this. The easier you make this routine look, the better your control must be. If you can keep on just potting the reds and stunning up the centre of the table, that's perfect control. Let me know how you do!
@@BartonSnooker I've nearly done the maxi in the T excersize. 15 red blacks, missed yellow 🙄 I've cleared table with the 6 reds and 10 reds exercises you gave me in the report (videos on my channel) I think my cueball control is good enough to get the maxi in this excersize. I'll let you know! Keep the videos coming. How often would you advise coming to see you at my standard.?
@@CueBald I think at your standard it's keeping on top of technique. So really making sure that everything is very disciplined and consistent on each shot. Then aside from that, it's having detailed discussions about shot selection and break-building. This is such a massively important skill that can be underestimated. The sessions are totally up to you though. If you feel like you're not improving as you would like and want some more things to think about, then come again. It's all down to the individual in my opinion.
Thank you for these videos I can pot a ball almost half decently now, but I CAN NOT POT during any drill that involves positional play I.e line up I am starting to lose hope about how to improve both potting and position. Do you have any tips for a newbie who's been playing for about a year and a quarter now?
It is amazing of how much cue control most snooker players have. I have never played snooker but it does look challenging. Good drill. I do notice that the tip on your cue is much smaller then what i shoot with, would I have a difficult time trying to play snooker with my Cynergy 15K?
Hi Steve - what kind of pencil should I use so I can spot the reds in the same spot each time? Worried about damaging the cloth if I use the wrong thing...
Hello Russell, I'm in the West Midlands. If you send me an email at: steve@bartonsnooker.co.uk I can send you over some details. All the details are in the description of the video as well. My website etc. Thanks, Steve 🙂
Hi Hugh, You can take other colours if you like. The point of the exercise is to get used to controlling the Cue-Ball. If that means sometimes you need to take a blue or pink, that's fine 🙂
I just have request please I whached yesterday if video about osillivan it was fantastic can u choose any video for the great hurricane Higgins total clearans and do the same thank u
Hi Steve .after spending some time with you I can regularly get 40 break using this method in practice but I'm still struggling in a match to get more than a 20+ breaks . Any advice?
Hey Steve and his viewers, I’ve been playing snooker fairly regularly for the past 6 months and I’m looking to really improve my game. I’ve currently been working on screwing the cue ball back but when doing so the cue ball always move a little to the right. Can anyone help me as to why this is happening and how to stop this? Also great video as usual Steve! 👍🏻
