Finally an answer. About 10 years ago a team mate asked why I was facing the wrong way on shots and since then I am so concerned with it I got to the point where I was switching eyes and totally screwed. Cheers, now time to try it out
Arkansas, USA here. Wanted to say that I just recently found and bought my grandfather's old 1870 Brunswick snooker table in an estate sale, and will be watching lots more of your videos from here on out! That table meant the world to him before he passed away, and I intend to play on it for the next 60 years, meaning I'm going to need a lot of instructional videos. lol. cheers!
Great to see an american embracing snooker, travis. You'll get addicted, you can improve but it's a game you can never master... unless you're ronnie o sullivan lol
Today by seeing this vidio I break by 57 points I learned snooker only by seeing your videos thank you Sirr form India banglore maddy respect ✊ to you man
Wow!!!! As a new pool player, I’m working daily to define my fundamentals, and this video may be the root of my most recent challenges!!! Keep up the great content!!! Amazing!!
Very insightful. I've tried to discover and apply orthodox advise on where to put my feet, but I never realized how various foot placements effected this issue with the head not facing the shot. This is the first video I've seen that offers advise that allows me to take my own body into consideration for optimizing foot placement. A friend of mine informed me that my head was tilted instead of facing the shot, and I couldn't really correct it during the stance he pointed this out. Eventually, I corrected this, to a degree, by not allowing my right foot's toes to cross over the shot line, but never considered that my left foot placement could also be adjusted to address this issue. You're clearly working hard to strengthen your fundamentals. Thanks for sharing your discoveries. I'm trying to do the same things. I don't play snooker, but I subscribed to your channel long ago, because I think the topics you cover can benefit me in 9-ball and 8-ball (the games I primarily play).
I really think that I have got a quick win from this video. Thank you very much. In my case it has been changing the angle of the foot on the line of the shot. I was looking for the proper stance to have the eyes in a square line to the shot and it didin't worked by moving the other foot but it works changing the angle of the foot that is on the line of the shot. If I step almost square to the line of the shot all my body is much more confortable and I see the shot better. Just in one day with the new possition I have done better long shots and thin cuts.
Thanks i will give this a try, and ive mentioned it on barton snooker channel so i will ask you also, it would be intresting to see you both have a few frames against eachother. i hope you dont live too far from one another and it can be arranged.
At last a video that *at least* touches one of the most delicate subjects in snooker and Billiards. Levy Gonen from Israel. No clue why we had to wait for so long for such a video from anyone. There are a lot of stuff that you can add. Its not just the the "preferred" eye that matters, its even the tilting that we do, since its hard to line up your head perfectly vertically, even if the chin isnt above the cue stick. Furthermore, some people have one of their eyes (like me) higher a bit than the other eye, thus causing a weird natural tilt when trying to objectively line up "vertically" above the cue stick. Anyways, great video.. I bet the next one will be even better. Thumbs up bro. Great stuff.
Wow! The dominant eye really caught me there! Thanks for sharing this in your video! I wanna start playing pool again and snooker for the first time! 💯
thats crucial info to form proper stance took me few years to learn away from my ackword stance, really could of use this knowledge while doing it, thank you
Being trying this method for the last few days now... still not sure.. I am potting balls with this method.. feels natural enough will keep trying... thanks damo in dublin
Wow just did the triangle close 1 eye then the other. Left eye object in center of triangle right eye object to the far left of triangle. I never knew this will have to see how this affecks my play in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you so much for this! the timing couldn't have been better! I was actually struggling with this problem. I can see and cue straight on most of the straight forward shots you'd usually face on a table, but for some reason, I'm struggling with the green to the green pocket shot when clearing the colors. I just can't see that shot correctly and I have no idea if I'm gonna overcut it or undercut it or if I'm aiming right. I'm gonna try your method and see if it helps.
So the joint of the elbow has to point like 4 inches inwards for the perfect stance and not be aligned exactly above the cue? That is what I see in the video.
This was extremely interesting, I so often play a shot n miss by a large Margin n literally get so confused why cause I saw the shot n hit it where I wanted but it’s so off wondering if this could be why or maybe just is my poor form 😂
It seems that if you are starting off at snooker, setting up stance, cue grip, moving arm, lining up are even more important than actually trying to pot balls!
Good work boss....so many players cue across thd shot....."next time your at a pool or snooker joint...just watch from either front or back of the player ...its amazing how they still pot? Sweet geezer from Derby 👍
I'm having real trouble with my cuing action/ alignment ever since moving from 8 ball to snooker. Have become maybe too conscious of dominant eye and everything else and it's sent me backwards. Fingers crossed this helps! Great vid Luke from Australia
Very interesting video. Did you think the head looking to one side could result in unconscious "steering" of the cue slightly during delivery as the brain tries to compensate between line of shot and line of head?
Hi! Noticed something recently about cue action, watching both Ronnie, and Judd in particular, they really push the cue down on their bridge hand, watching closely you can see the cue deflect and bend. I've been trying this out myself and it really helps with stability and less miscues especially if doing a deep screw back. What's your thoughts about this? If not covered already :-)
Yeah I agree with your point of view and thoughts for deep screw this technique is used for quite obvious cue ball has to cover a longer distance before hitting then it comes back fastly
i m right dominant but i cant bend ma right leg straight....what adjusment i have to do to have firm stance for good aiming and sighting????please make a vedio on this
I’ve not heard anyone speaking about the deliberation of the backswing,this came to from trying to add in a pause but never felt natural with my cue action,noticed I was cueing across the ball often(steering)so I’ve started paying more attention to having a slow deliberate straight backswing,only played one session like this so early days,what u think?
From what I see this does not sound/look right. Going by the square stance shown @ 7:11 you still have your left shoulder forward of your right shoulder hence you are still looking/facing towards your right. The only real way you can be square on is when your shoulder are square on. Any cue position will have one shoulder in front of the other and hence at the point of address your upper body is rotated round and hence your head. Therefore there can be no real realignment of the head/eye position. Or have I missed something?
Does anyone know how to find a dominant eye because I get different results depending on which object I look at. When I focus on a far away object, my eyes see two gaps between my hands and depending on which I look through I get different “dominant” eyes Okay so it doesn’t matter ultimately but still would like to know which eye is dominant
I play Straight and right spin shots with my cue exactly below my chin but for left spin stun or top shots, my chin moves to left of the cue. Not sure why this happens. Any suggestions? @breakfromlife
Number 1 Snooker Channel. Hands down.
Agreed!

I'm glad you've taken the time to put this into words. It's very obvious, complicated and utterly deceptive all at the same time.
Makes much more sense than finding your dominant eye. Thanks!

Your videos very helpfull for me.. I can improve my game just watching ur videos and try it. Peace from Malaysia😇

I found it felt a bit weird to start off with but I thought it made it a bit easier to see the angles
Wow just did the triangle close 1 eye then the other.

Thank you so much for this! Best Regards from Arad Romania 🇷🇴
Thank you. It dose make sense in what you say. But also like you say it may not work for everyone. Keep up the good work
I never understand ur videos. So what is the conclusion? Cue under dominant eye or cue under middle of both eyes?
I've come back to 8 ball after years away and have been feeling this problem but was unable to diagnose it... thanks! This was great.
New to your channel. Beginner. Really helpful. Thank you.

Yeah I found if you can look straight forwards on the shot it just makes everything a lot easier

Great video as always, have you ever done a video on cues? Would be great to see.
A bit but it was ages ago so probably is a little bit simplistic
@@Breakfromlife would be cool to see your opinion on different weights, tips and chalk etc, cheers for your response!

great video but, more importantly, did the yellow go in the corner pocket at 2:11 ?
I left handed and left eye dominat. So i need to stand in line of the shot with me left eye?

Guys, I have a lazy eye so I am completely dominant one side. Should I sight under it
Hi. Whats your cue specification ?
200k on the horizon
and there is me who only use right eye.i dont know why but from start i'm playing with left eye close. suggestions for me.
first one ❤️❤️❤️
From what I see this does not sound/look right. Going by the square stance shown @ 7:11 you still have your left shoulder forward of your right shoulder hence you are still looking/facing towards your right. The only real way you can be square on is when your shoulder are square on.

Okay so it doesn’t matter ultimately but still would like to know which eye is dominant

I play Straight and right spin shots with my cue exactly below my chin but for left spin stun or top shots, my chin moves to left of the cue.
Not sure why this happens.
