    Shaun Murphy, I just wanna tell you sth
    CZcams is full of snooker coaches, but absolutely.. No one can teach us better than you.
    We all beg you to get back active on your channel and upload more coaching videos.
    Put like everyone if you agree with me ❤

    Shaun you are excellent would be an understatement. Thank you for extending your expertise and teaching us.... Please continue in teaching us all... It would be helpful if you can give us the "eye-view", what you see when you are potting the ball, kinda like "go-pro" headcam view.. "Go-Pro" can endorse you as well :)

    Hello Magician. I usually keep track of your videos as they enlighten me through complete controle over the basics, rules and technics of the game. On behalf of everybody watching the videos, we appreciate and thank you for the hard work. Snooker is one of my favorite hobbies for after work leisure activities, and no manner how many hours I spend playing, I still can't get the cue to be straight through mu chin, and it hurts my back when doing that, which also causes me to miscue. Please guide me through how I can get a hold of that. much thankful for you man. Godd bless and goos luck!

    Thanks Shaun, these are all great tips. I'd love for you to come back and do some more youtube, though i know you must be busy with other stuff at this stage of your career. I like you a lot, though i know some have a problem with you (for some reason), i think most of these people, including my father, havent seen what you're truly doing andcapable of these days, and I really love your perspective on being professional and somebody to look up to, as i saw in your video with Stephen over on cue tips. Best of luck to you for future tournaments, please know you've got myself and my mates (-21ish) into the game. We love you, give every tourney a good crack mate xx

    Hi Shaun, nie to see you're videos. They are really good and to the point.
    I myself as an advanced amateur player, I doubted many years about when playing with side, and when not.
    I would love to hear an explanation from you concerning that :). Iv'e talked with Tom Ford for example and he told me he almost uses a little side on every shots. Other ex-professionals like Bjron Haneveer I know says he rarely plays with side only when it's necessary. Some pots seemed easier for me playing with running side. Now after playing over 20 years I've started to change a lot of shots playing center cueball, where i was playing before with running side and as far as i know most shots seem a lot easier.
    Thank you very much if you would reply on this message.
