I think u are the best coach ever i have searched on the utube.
Thanks a lot 🙂
BartonSnooker that smile tho
Yes
Excellent lesson on cue control. Very simple and eloquent. This has been eluding me for the past few months, and now I have something to work on. This is a fantastic channel.
Many thanks Steve. Much appreciated 🙂
Excellent Steve; real insight here, I notice you have really been to school with your clear understandings and descriptions of true cueing..fabulous work.
Been watching your lessons for a couple of weeks now. Thank you for sharing with us all, everything you are teaching us makes perfect sense
Cheers. Thanks for watching 👍😀
A very well delivered video, exactly what is needed by the beginner and improving players of any age so easy to follow and understand, thankyou for your time and exacting patience. Linerforce.
You're a fantastic teacher! Greatly improving my game on these smaller tables in the States
Thanks a lot John 🙂
Thank you for bringing this topic up about the cue control, now it makes more sense to me about a recent problem i have in controlling my shots, I keep thinking I'm not hitting my cue ball accurately, but it could be the different strength of striking the cue ball. then tension kick in and i'm all over the place with different more problem.
cheers mate

Obrigado por trazer à tona este tópico sobre o controle de sinalização, agora ele faz mais sentido para mim sobre um problema recente I have in con
I just found you on CZcams and enjoy your tutorial very much. I only wish that 40 years ago I had this kind of coaching.
Me too!
My top 3 snooker channel. Always great
Great teaching on the long back swing for long potting!
Having spend a lot of lock down, not being able to play back to my 40 break standard, i start getting anxious, rushing, going closer to the white, missing easy shots, ALL your video are superb, and really brought my game and confidence back as well as adding different dimensions as i feel more knowledgeable now.. so a huge help....
Barton i have seen so many coaching videos but your teaching and explainaton is the best,i really admire and follow your tips
Great tutorial again. I am trying to put all your tips and techniques together in practice. Finding the tension hard to let go at times and still struggling to get out of the starting gates. Still, these videos are very much appreciated!
Brilliant advice. Used this to make myself think every time I got down to the shot the other day. My play improved instantly, knowing I needed to polish up the basics. Cheers!
That's brilliant and great to hear. Thank you 😀
Great video Steve as always. Hope the coaching is going well you deserve it mate. Cheers
So far one of the best coach ive ever learnt snooker from on CZcams. Your video covered all the problem areas i had while playing.👍✌️
Thank you!
Great tips and beautifully explained and presented as always. Really appreciate.
One of the best on CZcams on technique.
If not the best!
When are you coming to Australia?
One of the best coaches out here.
Really good video. Loved the fact you'd showed us how people go wrong as well as explaining the correct way to do it. I've subscribed to your channel. Look forward to viewing your other videos. Thanks for all your efforts 👍
Thanks very much, John! Much appreciated 🙂
I’m really liking this channel. You have a knack for explaining things so it’s easy to understand. Good job. You’ve gained a subscriber!
Its such a useful information. You teach us in such a simple and good way. Tyvm keep up the good work.
Great video to understand , I love your channel and your informative videos for us
Adjusting your backswing for the amount of power is a great little tip. Thanks!!
Great lessons, very informative.
Nice video and thank for the tips. Next video about stun run through? Thank you
Love your videos. Please continue making more videos. I wish you were in my country, I would definitely make you my coach.
Great video....rushing into the shot is something it did...given the attention like mentioned in the video really improved my game. Only problem i have is judging the lenght of the backswing. Having longer backswing allows me to deliver the cue more straight...but with too much power...so more practish needed for me....keep up the video's ...great job
Thanks a lot. Glad you're finding the videos useful 🙂
Awesome video can't wait to practice this drill
This is very useful! Thank you very much for the sharing,
As always superb video 😎
Fabulous Sir my snooker game improve with your suggestion / Coaching... .....Thanks Sir Stay Bless..
All the basic fundamental things, we need to do consistently, to keep us in the game. Thankyou.😃
Great videos. You make it look effortlessly easy.
I'm envious.
Thanks Edward 🙂
Thank you for your time and effort in providing such useful techniques.You are so gifted and an amazing coach
Thanks very much Michael. Thanks for watching.
Well explained. Keep up the great content 👍
Best coach for snooker on youtube
just a brilliant explanation for anyone that wants to improve..great instruction..appreciate it
Thanks!
Gem of a tutorial! 👏👏
Lets me to another level.. plz make this kind of videos more often
indeed your way to teach amazing nice to see you.... now today im your follower ... Thanks sir
Thank you so much! 🙂
Another very good video Steve. I guarantee anyone who follows these simple steps will be cueing better almost instantly. The pause at the cue ball instead of pausing at the back swing will help those who tend to snatch.
I also find that if a player is naturally fast it’s best they stick to only 3-4 feathers maximum to allow for constant concentration. It’s a strange thing but I’ve seen naturally fast players (10-15 seconds per shot) try to take longer (6-8 feathers) because they think it will help with concentration and they get a head wobble or blurred vision.
Also something worth noting is take that little bit more time and think about the 3 shots ahead process that Steve has also done a video on.
I honestly believe Steve will be one of the top coaches not just in the UK but globally. His easy to follow videos and easy manner in which he explains things are very easy to follow and will improve any player no matter what standard they are.
Thanks very much for the kind comments. It really is much appreciated 🙂
Thanks alot.... Very helpful video.. u explained it very nicely....
Nice work steve
Hi Steve,
love the videos they have really helped my game come along. Is there any chance you could do a video on where to focus your eyes when cueing? I gather from other videos to focus on the object ball but could this be explained from walking in on the shot to the point you strike the cue ball! Thanks
Yes I will try to do this in the near future 🙂
excellent training video ,subscribed
Brilliant and easy to understand
What a wonderful video 🤘🏽🤘🏽
ppcc what a nice technique, awsm wrok bro. keepp it up. stay blessed
Thank you for the great videos. I was wondering what your opinion is on the stroke used in other cue sports like 8,9, or 10 ball. The stroke is considerably different yet they are trying to achieve the same result. Why is there a difference in stroke?
I've just started playing snooker this video is alright for someone who knows where to strike the cue ball, I've tried to see where your hitting the cue ball so as to give me some idea where to hit it, without this knowledge i'm finding it hard to get the affect your getting, maybe in another video you could show the positions on the cue ball, still great videos to watch.
Hi. I now have lots of videos showing the position I'm striking on the cue-ball. Have a look at "Match Practice" & "3 Red Break-building" 😀
Great work sir
The problem with blue as u said is exactly what Iam doing wrong. Gonna try to bring the changes u mentioned. Cheers n keep posting..
Well explained 👍👍
I learned a lot from you, thank you
I never had the opportunity to play snooker because here in the U.S. snooker tables are very difficult to find much less play on. But I have been and am a nine ball and eight ball enthusiast for many years. I can judge a good instructor fairly quickly and accurately especially when they are instructing in an area I know something about. In this case potting balls with shape. This guy is very competent, gifted, and talented at teaching snooker. Even though he is teaching about snooker, the techniques used to play snooker are basically the same as nine ball and eight ball and because of that I watch snooker instructors as well as instructors for almost any billiard game. And by the way, I also enjoy watching Ronnie O'Sullivan. He such a tremendous talent. When he is in stroke and playing well he is capable of firing in length of the table cut shots with astounding power and accuracy when his position calls for it.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words 🙂
Youre amazing, ty so much
Coach of the year 👍🏼
Thank you so much! 🙂
Just wondering, is that a hard tip on your cue? I could tell by the clunk sound 😀
@@basheerayub945 no! It's actually very soft. It's a 'Century Cue Tip - Grade 1'. Which is their softest one. It's just I am wearing a clip on microphone so it sounds a bit hard 🙂
great video really wannted to see where you hit the cue ball
Nice video thanks.
I think I have not been having my backswing at the correct length so will go to the practice table later on and try to do as the video instructs, fingers crossed
Thank you mate
Great stuff..
thank you
Thanks
This video's a 10/10 as with all of them.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Great video 👍
Thanks 🙂
As usual mate, top notch..... very in formative, well explained and shown!!
Thanks a lot Mike 🙂
Thank you sir
Great teacher
Thank you 😀
Hi sir I am allways watching your videos improve my snooker game. Please tell me sir which mm cues and tip size modify 9.5mm or 9.75mm tip for use snooker.
Hi Bart, by the way l think you are probably the best out there explaining so good for people. What l was wondering would it be possible to use a camera on the cue, so we would have a better idea of where you make contact on the cue ball for the next position of the cue ball. I know you have brilliant videos explaining all of this, but to see what you see and do would be very helpful. There is a 147 on youtube with camera on the cue. What you could do is youb explain where the white needs to be for the next red or colour and pause and then we at home can guess where your cue is going to be on the white for the shot. And when we start to get it right, then it will be easier to make it stick in our minds and remember when we play. Just a thought.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks a lot for the positive comments. Much appreciated.
That is actually something I hope to do in the near future Kevin. Just need to invest in the camera when I have some spare cash and then I will film that type of video 😀
Really good
thanks sir
Love from India.. Thank you.
Could you please make a video on side spin and the effects on the aim
Yes I will do this in the near future 🙂
Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me, how high should the shoulder be, i.e. should you put tension on your shoulder? Secondly, I was wondering if you could tell me, how much elevation is optimal? I know that players try to minimize elevation, but at the same time they need to keep their shoulder high, which will cause some elevation right? Would it be possible for you to show a close up side view of the cue tip showing the angle coming into the table?
I want to know how to point out the angle , aiming between cue ball and object ball. The perfect point between cue ball and object ball to the pocket when when we shoot out
I am right eye dominant, how should i approch the line of the shot, either both feet paralell to the line or the boxer's stance? If i go boxers stance, being right eye dominant my eye is not properly aligned(i have to cue under the right isde of the face, way off chin). Instead if i use square on stance, my elbow gets tilted away from the body.
I need your sincerest suggestion on this and i trust you steve. Cheers
Would the bridge length affect the cue ball ...
nice video
Would like to know more about the back arm. What needs to happen at the elbow so the cue doesn't rise or drop as a shot is being made.
Hi there. Great question and I will do a video on this in the very near future 👍
Pls show the close up of cue ball and cue at the time of executing shot as I am not able to understand exact spot of the cue ball
. Thank you 👏🏽
Hi Steve, i'd be interested to see your eye patterns. not when demonstrating them but when actually doing a routine like this without you thinking about it.
Hi, can you please make a video of double?
well gollly - that is good and proper for Any billiards or pool game. So may flaws can be corrected by this simple 4 step Proper cue handling,
Thank you!
@@BartonSnookerI am just learning 8 ball, I put these 4 steps in practice today and doubled my potting..... amazing something so simple can make such a big difference.
@@karljolley8346 that's awesome Karl. Well done! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting 🙂
Great instruction !!!
You need to correct the camera angles so that you are facing us everytime . Thanks.
awesome
Steve Parton what cloth you play is very good cloth
Sir which cue you are using?
Sir can you tell me what is this push shoot ?
Legendry
Thank you 🙂
My problem is that when im practising my cue action at home it is relaxed and smooth but as soon as i have the cue ball in front of it my arm tenses and i struggle to cue the same way, any tip would be very aprecciated, nice video keep up the good work
It's exactly like I describe in this video. All you can do is control the cue.
When you are first practicing this, do now worry at all whether you pot or get position. Just concentrate on delivering the cue. Just get used to the feeling of having control and hitting the cue ball. As you get more used to it, you will also start potting more balls and controlling the white.
Hope that helps 🙂
@@BartonSnooker I will try in my next practice session. Thank you very much !
Good video however if I could make a suggestion, it would be hugely beneficial if for these positional shots you had a graphic of a where you’re hitting the white exactly. I get confused especially with these what should be simple positional shots as to what depth to hit cue ball, whether to use trace of side etc, Thanks!
Hi. Thanks a lot for watching. All of my latest videos over the last 18 months have a cue ball displayed on screen showing the striking point 👍
@@BartonSnooker Yes I have since noticed and it’s great idea!
Hi coach can you do video about how to prepare before match Mentally and how to warm up before match 10-20 mins thank a lots.
Hi. Yes I will do a video about this in the near future 🙂
BartonSnooker Thanks. Did you will do video analysis Pro player plays. Like Break building and Match play. Like what they are thinking on a shot why they do that why they lose. Haha sry so much questions.
@@MonkeyboyCH maybe in the future. I have a video coming next week covering the line-up and exactly what I'm thinking on the shot. It's a full talk-through.
BartonSnooker Thanks
Hi, is it normal for the queue to rest on my side when cueing back and forth ?
Yes completely normal.
We normally have 4 points of contact when we get down to the shot:
1) the grip
2) the bridge
3) the chest
4) the chin
All these points contact the cue and help to keep it online.
Mr.Barton I still hanging between some of my shots , I need your help. If you have time for me please help me out of this situation
Hello there!
I would almost treat it like you are learning a new skill and you need to start working on the cue action from the start.
If you follow the steps in this video and really commit to doing these things on every shot, then in time you will start to make this your new routine.
Everything that we do like this takes practice, so you need to put in some work while concentrating on doing the correct things.
The steps in this video are what all good players have in common.
Good luck 🙂
Hi. Can you please set your camera on your que ball deriection camera all the video. Thanks.
I always struggle with positioning, when you say stun, is that dead centre of the ball? Thanks
just below the center
to be more accurate about stun, make sure the cue ball always in " very little back spin mode or no spin at all" when it touch the object ball. So, it depend how far the distance also and how much power u put on the cue ball.
hi is there any different between ash and maple cue to play with??
There are differences and they may feel a bit different when you play, but neither one is 'better' than the other.
Maple cue does not have an grain on the shaft, you it looks smooth as you are down on the shot.
Ash cues have grain on the shaft and have 'arrows' in the grain that point down the line of the cue.
It just depends what you prefer. One isn't better than the other.
BartonSnooker thank you so much.
