Getting so much more into snooker again since discovering your channel, great videos! Dom from Campbeltown, Scotland
Awesome video, from York England! Got my highest break of 58 last weekend after watching your videos again!
Hey Mr. Break From Life Guy that shalt not go by any other name. Thank-you! The graphic with the idea to keep the pocket within the illustrated 3/4 and 1/2 lines is a godsend. I have rekindled my squirrel to the nut excitement/relationship between cue ball and object ball. After years of prioritizing body alignment I am learning how the two things work together. Love your work/gonna hafta buy a toque off ya...
Definitely, this is the best snooker channel ever. thanks for the great work!
My brother managed to convince me to play snooker and he sent me one of your videos about aiming and it was unbelievably helpful. Big thanks from Toby in Halifax, England.
Watching from Nagaland, India.
Love this channel. The atention to detail and the editing is a lot of work!
Love your tips! Great video!! Greetings from Hamburg/Germany
So love the way you get so excited when your trick shots work!
It’s more relief really
@@Breakfromlife I think you’re an excellent presenter and an extremely good teacher with a fantastic personality but you’ve stopped saying ‘which is there’ when you find someone on your map. That’s the best part for me and it always makes me smile!
A great video, learnt some good tips and hopefully put these to practice. Cheers, Ant from Lowestoft
Such a good video thanks! Just what I was looking for.
Your channel is amazing.. watching from the Philippines.. we dont play Snooker, but the advice here well translates to playing 9ball pool.. this channel is my secret weapon.. 😂😂
Top work and I know a lot beginners who need this video.....great detail and patience,like your style shag 🎱👍
Nice tutorial! Keep making contents like this one. Need it badly.

Thanks for the tips. Brad from Winnipeg Canada
Great advice. Thank you.
Awesome video mate from Tasmania
Another great vid.
This is a video I enjoy the most out of all of them. I really relate to the "eyes deceiving you" thing. I seem to miss the pocket to the right every time, so when I aim more to the right it looks wrong but I pot it!?
But how much to compensate for all the different shots you play is where it gets complicated. Maybe you could do a video just focusing on how to fine tune this missalignment and bogus image our eyes can give us.
All solid tips.
Feels geeat to watch your videos. From Kathmandu Nepal
Good video got a lot of information. Hi from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The cushion thing, I find just cueing down ever so slightly helps too. (Raising your bridge slightly off the cushion) you take the cushion out of play, but you need to be wary of not putting accidental side or screw on the ball
Excellent! Age pensioner starting again after over 40 or so years. Could not believe how many shots I was missing and by how much. Getting some now. Thank you!
Enjoy it man! Lots of love from the newer generations!
Very helpful for me
Thanks for great videos
I am ferdaws watching you from Kabul Afghanistan
Best teacher all the time
Started playing snooker around 6 weeks ago when i brought a que. Did play pool 20 odd years ago and was quite good but quit playing completely. Been watching your videos etc and have ex-pro player as brother to guide me forward. As of Wednesday I achieved a 34 break in practice setups.. over the moon and feel in time I will hit that 50 break..
Cue not que, but I'm glad you're doing well!!! Takes most people a long time to get a break like that!
Nice content!

Miras from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Great vid. Could you please make one that addresses the pain in the shoulder in the bridging arm - sometimes I can’t even fall asleep because of the pain after I play too much snooker.

From Kathmandu Nepal
Always love your videos. Any tips for keeping the garage clear so I can actually get to my table!?
Yeah stop buying stuff u might never prob use 1 day lol 😂😂😂
Your snooker tips has helped me improve my game significantly. Could you make a video on how to play shot were object and cue ball is too close and how the ball throw behave. Thank you in advance. From Bangalore - India
Good stuff i like your videos love from Pakistan ❤️
Interesting about using side spin (running side) with a ball on the cushion, do you think a tiny amount of spin is transferred from the cue ball to the object ball, making it hug the cushion? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on cupping, basically when a ball hits the cushion at pace, the angle changes because the rubber cushion indents and wants to throw it back the way it came, like when I play a double hard, the ball straightens out and can even come back the way it was sent.
Thanx for ur Courtesy I'm very much hopeful that I'll win our club tournament end of this month.Lahore Pakistan
Hey man, I've been itching to see it happen and would try if I had access to a snooker table, but would you please, just for fun, attempt the minimum clearance? 15 reds and yellows, followed by colors (72). I know it's outrageously difficult, but I want to see it so bad lol. Cheers from Brazil, Indiana, USA!
I love your videos they are really helpful. ❤️ love from Islamabad Pakistan 🇵🇰
I really appreciate
This channel makes me want to play Snooker so badly. It's just a shame I don't have the room (or money) for a table. Once more from Scunthorpe, England.
Love from India my brother
Still trying and improving want 1 T-shirt or a beanie I can't. awesome VLOG
Great
watching you from kuwait
hey, love from pakistan really love your videos
Love from kerala, India❤️
i learned alot from your videos,add to map im from iran,karaj
Personally, for straight shots I don't use the reflection since that's hard to see from far away. I like the very bottom of the object ball since it's always in the center and easier to see from far away.
Hm I'm gonna try that I bet that's very helpful
Is that the taom v10? Be good to get a review of it
Thanks For Your Videos❤️. Love from Ranchi, Jharkhand, India❤️
Hi from Kashmir ❤️
You are coaching thru your videos.
Thanks mate....!
That's very helpful video👍👍 from Pakistan...one thing if you please tell the secret of screwing the white ball..!!
I just recently played snooker for the very first time and I found it so difficult to consistently pot the balls (my highest break was 12 🙈), tho I got some cracking pots but every single shot did require 100% of concentration and after 1,5 hour of playing I was quite exhausted and was hardly able to pot a ball… who knows maybe if I had watched this video earlier on I would have done better… 😀
Perhaps you're also just not used to a big table. I'm decent at pool but when I first got on the big table my mind was playing tricks on me, when you get down on the shot you lose some perspective and your mind makes you aim incorrectly because you're simply not used to the distances. Once you spend a few hours on it you'll find it gets easier as your brain recalibrates. I feel you on it feeling exhausting though!
@@jama211 yes very true, it takes some time to get used for that distance and even the pockets compared to pool are much narrower, when you hit cushion on pool table with the object ball there’s still a decent chance that it will go in the pocket, in contrast the snooker table won’t ‘forgive’ you even a slight hit on the cushion as the object ball finishes on the jaw and not in the pocket… and I found especially difficult shots to middle pockets from the area around the pink spot, most of them I was overcutting so yeah apparently it requires far more practise…
Snooker is so difficult but rewarding
Snooker is emotionally rewarding & fun. But need a lot of focus. If mind is not on table, pocket ball also will miss
Bro, I have been playing snooker for good 5 years, my highest break is 30, trust me it's the most difficult game. It's not as easy as the videos. Keep practicing..
Do mark Allen's cue action
Whete to aim in the bottom center or top od the target ball?
Tell about shot selection
I’m learning from Cambodia
Hi azzie from mildura vic australia
I hope you get to go on cue tips with Steven hendry
Hey just so you know my name is Scotty and I am a professional snooker player bur watched this video and improved
Tell about break building
Yeahhhhh cheap steel block… just add chalk to the cushions…. Nice one 😀👍
The highest break I ever had was a 64 where the cue ball hardly passed the middle pockets. Gently good cueing is the answer.
Where am I looking at when I deliver my cue? Object ball or cue ball?
❤
I find it is easier if you place your finger tips on the edge of the table and raise your hand slightly
love from pakistan
Can't find the link to the practice routines...has it been removed?
I worked out the side spin on cushion shot years ago when I was first starting, thought I was dead clever lol still not that good a player now tho 😂
It's a game u used to thoroughly enjoy as a teen, but here, in Jamaica, snooker tables are few and far between, so I have not layed in 50 years, and have to watch, instead
I've never seen the reflection of the cue ball on a snooker ball 😳
From Pakistan
India just made a movie called “Toolsidas Junior” about a snooker. You should check it out bro.
where are you from buddy..!
One very interesting topic to a new video: how the pro players knows exactly where aim (the exact aim spot in the object ball) in long pots. They not even looks to the object ball sometimes, they just goes to the table and shot (and pot the ball). How? Where they are aiming? There's some trick? 🤔
Its common for players who have played for decades to not really "aim" any shot except the thinnest of cuts. Feel takes over and the "aim" part is pretty automatic on most shots and the players are really only focusing on hitting the cue ball with pinpoint precision and speed control.
@@trainedtiger But I see this behavior even in younger players, who have recently entered the pro circuit (and are not old enough to have played for decades). So I assume there must be some golden hint for us mere mortals. 😅
@@sirisoj 50,000 shots a year for 20 years, or 250,000 shots a year for four years is still a million shots of practice. The guys these days can afford to practice 8-10 hours a day, the prize purses are way bigger to make it a profitable venture, and the access to equipment and technology is way better than it used to be.
The pro plays the line of the shot standing up. There is no secret aiming technique. It's all about placing the cue(both the front and back of the cue ) on that imaginary line and pushing through straight with centre line striking.
How to do that requires one to sight properly first,align the body properly and then walk in properly and finally cue along straight. There are a lot of subtleties but over time and using the HAMB technique, it gets ingrained into the pro's pre-shot routine. Please believe me- There is no secret aiming technique !!!
Snooker is difficult and frustrating, probably because most players have small inconsistencies, but mainly because as you say at 2:30, your eyes can play tricks on you. Each shot is guesswork, and practice makes you better at guessing - but if your eyes are telling you lies, then you have no chance.
Just hit my 1000th 147 after watching this video
ชอบมาก แต่แปลเป็นภาษาไทยได้มั้ย ฟังไม่เข้าใจ
how much would it cost for u to re-cloth your table mate?
When i Hit the Shot, i have no control on the stick, which causes me to miss even if i am aiming for the right position.. How can i improve my stick (cue) controlling?
Just improve your stick control and this will help. Thanks.
1-Slow and Smooth Backswing with acceleration
2-Pause
And
3-Don't hit too tight
4-Gripping not too tight !
Apply these things Hopefully you will get better Results
THANK you!
Bonus Tip! Sort out your actual tip care! An untidy tip is often a distraction. Take off random fibers and get a decent shape, also keep your feral clean.
Or buy a Yume P20 cue tip and never worry about the tip again.
Doesn't that mushroomed tip bother you?
If the shot is dead straight, you can aim the white ball at the pocket
