This reminds me a lot of Shane Van Boening's aiming method! He explains it in a pretty similar way, and I've been using it ever since. Works like a charm!
I'm a pool player living in NYC, but your videos have been some of the most helpful for my game. I've seen this method explained before, but I could never get my head around it. The ghost ball method works much better for me. Thanks for all the videos!
I haven't been on a snooker table in 10 to 12 years and I still I've been watching his videos for 2 years now. I like it when he tries to duplicate shots. Igor, Toronto , Canada.
Snooker player from Australia. Well thought through and explained. Have been struggling with some angles so now know how to approach the problem. Thank you.
Very useful video. I'm in the south of England (just north of Portsmouth at Waterlooville in Hampshire) and I'm in the middle of having an extension put onto my home so I can set up a full size snooker table (that I was given for free), and once I get that up and running I'll be watching your videos and practicing my snooker. One day I hope to be as good as you.
I’ve just found this, because I googled how to que straight, I retired from playing snooker in a local team after breaking my wrist, that was around 10 years ago, since then I’ve been unable to que straight, but watching the snooker on tv I have found myself wanting to play again. I watched the video on queing video and now I am watching as many as i can, thank you for your explanations, they’re really useful, I am looking forward to getting back to playing asap Steve Leeds Yorkshire, England :)
When I was into snooker I had to draw up the angles in AutoCAD because I couldn't get to grips with some angles. I worked out that a 3/4 ball was 15 degrees, 1/2 was 30 degrees and 1/4 ball was 46 degrees. However this doesnt cover all the angles, so if the angles between 15 and 30 degrees you just go with a half ball say and then add a bit on for instance. It worked well for me anyway.
3 tips for me - Master straight cuing (stroke) - Fix your eye alignment - place an object ball that aims directly to the pocket just like a ghost ball before every shot just so u familiarize the aiming point or "angle"
I’m really happy to see this… I am just picking pool up again and I used to very instinctively aim using this system. It’s just what made sense to me, but I didn’t really study the game much back then. I’m picking it up again and am using the ghost ball method based on recommendations from pros. But I’m finding I’m having trouble with it! I liked having the reference point being easy to see if I tried to the divide the object ball and the space beside it up into segments. So I’m really glad to see this an accepted aiming technique and not just a bad habit I gained when I first started playing. I can see the usefulness of the ghost ball for some cases, like really thin cuts. But I’m gonna give this a try again to see if I still like it better than the ghost ball method.
Angles is my nemesis. I have had lessons and cue straight, but miss a lot at the minute as the angles are just gone in my mind. I have started more focused angles practice, but I am going to also try this slicing technique.
My concentration level starts declining after 3 or 4 frames in competitions. It is due to repetition/ monotonous nature of snooker I guess? Can you make a video on how to tackle this problem? Your videos are easily relatable to problems I go through on the table, thank you. Love from Canberra, Australia.
There are many possible reasons. It could for example also be your nutrition before and during a competition. In snooker you have to stay focused for a long time so you have to eat/drink stuff that gives you energy for a long time. Those things are often overlooked and can make a big difference.
I;ve watched your videos a few times and you are so good at snooker, all the challenges you've completed and you're so confident playing. So do a get maximums regularly and what sort of matches/tournaments do you take part in?
When the white makes contact with the object ball they will be in line together with the pocket. Work out where that is and aim for it. Your way just confuses things for me but hopefully it helps some.
Thanks I needed this information so I can tell myself I'm doing it right the whole time and not to care about what others say again thank you very much
You could just try lining the Qball up with the object ball on the slice to the pocket instead of half slicing it in a different direction then you wouldn't you have to figure it out. I use this exact method on snicker tables. It enables me to do a 90ﾟ cut the length of the table off one people off 1 rail back to the corner pocket.
Mate I love your channel, been watching for a couple of years now. You’re one of the good guys for sure. I have an idea for a short video for you. I noticed that I haven’t seen you recreate many shots bridging over balls, I might be wrong pal? I wondered if you could put a fake nail on your finger and see what affect that would have help of hinder. Sorry for long txt, much respect Diff, Wales 🏴
I don't play snooker, but I find your videos tremendously helpful - beyond the rest... you could probably do videos on anything. Cheers Mate lol --- Nate from Toledo, Ohio
I like how you put 2022 in the title, because snooker aiming techniques change each year.
Only for this guy 😂😆
2021 method is out of date, doesn’t work anymore.

Amazing aiming system. First time getting century using this system in 1 month
We play snooker every Friday. Just missed this advice
3 tips for me
- Master straight cuing (stroke)
- Fix your eye alignment
- place an object ball that aims directly to the pocket just like a ghost ball before every shot just so u familiarize the aiming point or "angle"
somehow this is a video even though everybody that's ever played fully understands this naturally...
uncanny.
