thanks for these foiiive mistakes
E’s considerably richer than youw.
Extremely useful tips. Thank you
1 common mistake all snooker players make not hitting the centre of the woyte!
I watched Barry stark as well but your method of teaching is very affective and all the videos are exactly what I wanted to learn and not so lengthy I viewed your channel for the first time and I just loved the content ❤️
Thank you very much for watching 🙂
Barry stark will send you to sleep, soz Barry 🤣
Love how relatable the mistakes are, and the effectiveness of the solutions
I'm from the U.S. and have been studying very hard for two years learning "American" pocket pool, 8 and 9 ball. There are one or two folks here on YTube that I have learned lots from (Dr. Dave, Tor Lowry and Sharivari) but I swear I learn many of the most important things from the likes of you and Barry Stark. You two are wonderful! Thank you so much. I've only been playing two years and I have quickly come to believe that I should move to Britain and take up Snooker instead! Psycholgically and socially I would fit in much better with the snooker crowd!
We also have quite a few tables in Australia, but (sadly) we don't have the professional circuit that the Brits have. Not that I'm of that standard though, but for the amateur, there's lots of fun to be had. ✌️🇦🇺
@@castleanthrax1833 Canada was mostly like that with lots of snooker tables, but the American pool influence (being so close) has taken over and kind of run snooker out of town.
One of the better videos out there on snooker. Massively helpful and true to every bit. Specially the last point. I was one of those who believed long pots to be the one which needed to be hit hard only to realise how wrong I was. I wish I had seen something like this earlier in my life. I would have been much better of a player but kudos to you. This video is undoubtedly helpful and I would recommend it to beginners. This would definitely save years of grinding and hard work. Trust me. :)
Really appreciate your kind words. That's much appreciated and thanks a lot for watching the channel
Excellent tutorial you have highlighted some of my mistakes there. Thanks so much
Even tho i dont play snooker. I play billiard. These things are very useful to keep in mind since the games are very similiar.
what a beautiful way of teaching! loved it....you have simplified snooker. thanks
Thank you very much for this video! I also made the same mistake by putting my hand too close to the cue ball. The last couple of weeks, I have put more distance between hand and cue ball and got a lot more action from the cue ball. Also noticed that my cue action in general has gotten a lot better.
You doing great job. Easy to understand explanation!
excellent advice.. look forward to more tips! Thanks!
Very true but the mind still plays a major part. Nerves and pressure will take over.
I didn’t know my handbrige was too close!
I never knew that. Let’s try it again .
Wish me luck
I just love it and will surely try these tips to improve my skills and in the end thanks alot
Another great video Steve, really learn from your style of instruction .
Well done, clear and informative. All important points. Thank you.
Very good approach to teach these things like properly showing each mistake and then playing it to show the rectification. Simple and easy
I've recently started my journey with snooker and just found this video. You're totally on point with the aspect of not hitting balls too hard. During my first time of being behind the snooker table, I was surprised of how little power you actually need to pot a ball. I was sure that due to the huge size of the table, you need to take power shots all the time!
Very clear, and not littered with too many words. I certainly make all these mistakes! Thanks a lot.
Thanks, the timing of seeing this was perfect, really enjoy these. Most apply well to pool.
Great checklist. I'll definitely take these tips. Thanks for sharing.
Hi and thanks for another great video I've learnt a lot from you,
I've got a question, you said hold the cue a bit loose and play soft but I saw the pro players like O' Sullivan and Neil Robinson when they go for screw back shots their cue get bend by their chin if you could make a video about that that'll be great thanks
Amazing analysis! Some of these mistakes I realised I had been making only after watching tonnes of coaching videos. Need to make this list and paste it on my wall. :D
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much. Appreciate you watching the videos 🙂
Best online coaching I have come across definitely
That lesson covers a lot of ground ! Love it . From Montreal Canada .
After lockdown my game had gone right down, no confidence in my shots at all. So I went back to basics watched a few of your vids and Bingo I’m back to potting balls and making breaks. I can’t thank you enough.
I wasn't expecting a great new video so fast :o , what a nice surprise, thanks Steve.
Thanks Franky! 😁
Thanks for the video sir... I have started playing snokkers just a month ago but I can rectify my mistakes using your videos
I"m Just a Beginner.I'm enjoying your tips.Very helpful.Thank you.
Very good tips ! I have admit that I'm guilty for doing all the five wrong. Gotta write these down so I can focus on them more next time I play.
Great tips, especially the distance of the bridge hand from the cueball. Another thing I found that improved my pot success was to add a pause before delivering the cue.
You explained it so nicely....the best way it could be..
Yes I do enjoy your advice about how to play snooker correctly... had I had the benefit of these videos of yours 43 years ago I would have honed my natural talent much better...now I'm 64 years of age...still these videos are of great value...!
Excellent tips. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
This is so helpful we need more topics like that to improve . Learning mistakes has so much better benefit that learning thank you
Thank you very much. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thanks for these very interesting tuition vids. I have learnt a lot here
This is great advice and really accurate
Hey i loved the video. Im keen to work on my spin shots and how to control the cue to plan the next ball.
Really like the video. Will keep these things in mind. Thanks as always Steve!
Thank you!
Very informative and useful. Thank you.
This was great bro, thank you for the video.
Will try this all out at my session this eve. Great video thank you
Fantastic tips. I struggle with a few of those things. Biggest issue I have is pulling cue back to v of hand and then cuing 6 months through
Great tutorial. Thank you.
I love the way of teaching... it really helps me where i make mistake while playing certain shots..great content.. keep going
Thank you. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thankyou always easy to understand your content ,great stuff
Definatly good video and love watching your videos and did helped me alot to improve my game
Always waiting your video because I'm learning from your video.Thanks !
Thank you!
Great tips thanks!!!
Mark allen and steve Davis are two players i could think of that have a short bridge not too far away frim cue ball
Hi. Both would be in the acceptable range actually. Anywhere from 9" to 13" from the cue-ball as a rough guide (although I think 13" is too far).
Most professionals will be somewhere like 10" to 11.5".
Don't try to copy an odd exception to the rule. Copy what MOST players do. Ronnie, Selby, Ding, Robertson, Judd. All have a bridge length of around 10" to 11.5".
Mark Allen definitely. John Higgins is a bit closer than most, but can also do it very long like when he's cueing through his fingers on the cushion.
One more great video 👏👏
In your next video, would you produce one particularly on how to play power shot. It's very useful but hard to manage. Thanks
Great teaching style. Thank you.
Literally just started playing snooker again and these videos will be great help for improving my snooker skills.
Awesome mate thank you. I've learnt so much from your videos. Watching from here in New Zealand.
Thanks a lot Andy. I appreciate you watching 🙂
Very helpful information.thanks
I watched this before playing with my friends last night and it helped me win my first set of games. Thanks very much!
Awesome. Well played Luke 👍
Helpful. Thanks cheers.
Helped me a lot . Thanks
Great video; gets down to essentials !
I am extremely interested in controlling the cue ball off the cushions to maker snookers!
Great video! When I’m playing bad I’m sure I do all 5. I will keep this in mind when I play next, thanks Steve
Thanks a lot. Great to know the video has helped people. Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
Very good video, your videos are helping me. Thank you
Really helpful as always. Thanks 👍
I do all of these from time to time lol. This was very informative. Thank you!
Thanks a lot James!
well truely these tips never told by anyone . thankyou for this efford
Excellent video! Clear, concise, accurate, and very useful. The camera angles are spot on. I love your videos. Hope to meet you for a 1 on 1 session soon!
Thanks a lot! Much appreciated. Would be great to meet you 🙂
I can relate myself to the 1st mistake and always wondered while watching players like Ronnie O'Sullivan maintaining so much distance between the ball and stick. Thanks a lot
Yes. It needs that distance to build up speed with gradual acceleration so the you stay on line and not jerk the cue. As was explained.
Very thoughtful corrections which are very much needed.
Very useful. Please continue the good work.
Thanks. And thanks a lot for watching 🙂
Very nice. Very helpful. Thanks so much for posting!
Thanks for watching 🙂
This is actually accurate!!!
Great videos. Very helpful.
This was very useful. Great reminders.
Excellent summary. Great tips well explain. You are giving to much value away for free!! My worst habit is probably putting my hand to close to the cueball. The rest I'm steadily getting better at
Many thanks. Always good to help people. Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
Nice video and very informative thanks!
Helps me in rectifying my mistakes and improving my game. Please make more videos like this
Thank you ,🙂
So useful content thanks a lot
Love your coaching manner. Easy to understand.
Thanks Steven 🙂
Your coaching tips are excellent and there are many more aspects of improvement to address snooker shots have a lot to do with body balance, however the key is to actually recognise the part of the game that we need to concentrate on and work on it , I love playing snooker and I personally dislike players who attempt to escape a snooker in a way that has absolutely no chance of success.
Yes, there are certain "tricks" that the pros use, and when you know what the approach is, it makes escaping a snooker much more effective. I'm specifically talking about how they extend the line "off" the table, and envision the appropriate angle to come off the cushion.
Best video I have ever seen if you want to improve the game
It’s so much easier learning with these videos keep it up
Snooker coach in Bulgaria told me exact same things and with just couple of weeks training I feel the deference!!!
