This is a look at how to play the deep screw shot seen on TV at big events all around the world. Learn to play this and amaze yourself and your friends!
Nothing worse than discovering a fantastic channel only to realize it's last video was uploaded 7 months ago. :( Come back, Shaun! In any case, subscribed and eagerly waiting for more.
Hi Shaun. I’m a very keen club player. I’ve saved like crazy and just invested in a cue from John parriss and a set of aramith 1g balls. Is playing with better balls than my local club going to improve my game? Maybe you could do a video on comparison between the two
SM, i never tire of seeing your video again, again and yet again. Your commentary is so clear and electric! The execution demo, just perfect. Like some one else commented, do come back, we await you!
Hi Shaun, I heard you are going to be restarting the channel soon, so I'm excited for that. Sending this message just after the World Championship final ended. I just wanted to say that you are just a complete inspiration to me and I'm sure to others as well. It sounds as if the past few years have been tough but hopefully the Crucible crowd tonight reminded you how much you are loved by fans everywhere. We've missed you at the top. Right behind you for future success. I know you can be a world champion and triple crown winner again!
I practice with a friend of mine who is a professional. He gives me a 100 lead to start with. I do a lot of hard work to maintain my lead but finally he wins me with a lead of 47.
Mr. Murphy You are known to have the best timing among all professionals So Can you please make a video telling us the best way to achieve a great timing?
A screen shot from the side showing your arm motion and how much you follow through might be helpful too. Glad you are sharing your valuable knowledge.
Oh great Merlin, you said the magical words every one must remember; quote You got to do the opposite of what your brain tells you to do unquote !!!! You were so clear in conveying what must be exactly done. Thank you.
i confirm that follow thru is the key as he said i tried it myself and getting use to it from time to time. now i can do like this video with not much worrying. thanks to Shaun I am your fan!
Hi Shaun, just watching you win against Ben Wollaston and I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU. Your resolve and self belief won you the match on the final long red. I really hope you go on to win the tournament! I've stopped calling you the Wizard, I think Genius is more appropriate. p.s. Bet you are wishing a few more shots went into the green pocket like the last pink! ;-)
He's correct about staying down while playing a deep screw shot on a slightly long shot, only time you should be a bit jabbier is when cue ball and object ball is close and your trying to screw back
If you think he's wrong, he is right. It's almost impossible to deep screw like Shawn because of the cloth on club tables. The table Shawn uses is very thin and produces less friction which allows you to put more action into the ball.
Matt Williams and SoundVlsion are right. If you play snooker or pool, you know you cannot make that long deep screw back shot on old,club cloth or the cloth with not 100% contain of wool. You can have the best technique, it is almost impossible, but silicon spray on balls can be helpful. Anyway Shaun´s technique is almost perfect.
Hi Shaun and thanks for the videos. Could you do a tutorial how to aim when playing with side spin because usually when I play with side I miss very often because I don't know how I should be aiming. And other suggestion would be how to play shots when your bridge has to be on the cushion and when the ball is close to the cushion and further.
lol people complaining their table ain't as fast as Shaun's well guess what you wouldn't be able to play this shot as well as he does :D He is the best in the world when it comes to that cue action!
Hey Shaun, pretty sure you will make good impact on social. Would love to see you resuming the channel and start collecting fans around the world closer. Anticipate your come back soon!
Hi Shaun, I haven't seen many players who can play the stun run-through better than you. Can you demonstrate it with tips on how to control how far the ball travels? Cheers
Say there was 8-10 foot between the cue ball and object ball and you were trying to screw back the full length of the table. Do you think a shot like this is only possible with thin cloths? like a no. 10 Strachan?
Hi Shaun, loving the videos. I'm prone to missing easy shots due to not cueing straight, I think it's something to do with tweaking my grip hand? Was wondering if you could go into detail of the grip hand and cue delivery
Hi Shaun! I am a great admirer of your game and a big fan of your "rolls royce" cue action and now the fact that you are connected by us -fans- through youtube is a tremendous feeling. LOVED your video about the deep screw and how important it is in positional play. But I think being an amateur, the first fear that kicks in while going for a deep screw or applying any side, is MISCUE. Whats more irritating is that it has happened to the likes of The Rocket, John Higgins, yourself, Selby etc, that too during professional events. So Can you do a video on Miscues as in what instigates it, what prevents it, its relation with tip shapes and sizes etc? and just so you know, i was rooting for you against bingham in that epic crucible final. :D
Would it be possible to show a camera view of where you strike the cue ball? I have been having some problems with screwing anywhere below the bottom 1/3 of the cue ball.
@@wodenoftheangles3339 indeed , i tend to play way too fast , a bit of lining up for once and thinking where the que is would make a world of difference in my game i recon
Hi Shaun, it's such a pleasure to see someone of you snooker status here on CZcams sharing some pro tips with us, hope your not retiring hence why you're on CZcams. Could I request a video of you explaining why players occasionally nominate an object ball to the referee from long distances on the table? I see players nominating most often balk colours, does this apply to every colour? And finally should I nominate a colour on every shot? Many thanks
Struggle with screw shots i need a real walk through .need to know angle of the cue on cueing up and then slowd down .i dont see players doing this and if thay do its far to quick to take it all in .this shot i struggle with realy hinders me .could u do another vid showing this .many thanks .hope ur well during all this lockdown. Thanks karl
hey shaun, please answer this as i cant find an answer anywhere!! i was just wondering what type of tips pros use, including yourself. i dont really mind about the brand, just more if you guys mostly use a soft medium or hard tip. please let me know!!!
+Dave M - So, as you can see, the brand took importance over the hardness :-) But within the brand, there is a rule: the softer the tip is, more spin and less precision it gives. And vice-versa.
Hi Shaun, could you make another video about your cue and especially your chalk. I assume you are using a TAOM chalk from Finland. I'm from Finland and I would like to have your opinion on this chalk and how you like to have your cue set up.
Most of the time i struggle with my deep screw shots that ends most of the time as a stoneshot🙈 I do my feders ,i do the follow through , but nothing happens, only sometimes, Could it be the kind of tip i am using ? I use black kamui tip, Probably its not the tip 1🤔 Its more likely my self doing something wrong. Could some expert help me? Thank you in advance 👍
Once I was on a 147, but unfortunately I missed the first black!!!
better than me, I missed the first red!
omg lol x)
hahahaha just like me,,,
Dinesh Adhikari hahahaahahha
hehehehe
Thank you mate! It's nice to see a pro taking the time to make these kind of videos for us mere mortals!
A career in punditry or commentating is nailed on when you hang your cue up Shaun, love listening to you 👍
Nothing worse than discovering a fantastic channel only to realize it's last video was uploaded 7 months ago. :(
Come back, Shaun!
In any case, subscribed and eagerly waiting for more.
3 years now
@@ratan4692 5 years now
I just subscribed, so imagine my shock 🤯 😂
I'd do you 1 better
7 years now.
Was practicing this earlier - deep screw onto the cushion which helped me reach my personal best break of a 58!
"maybe even on a 147" or in my case....... a 14 :D
Haha.... Once I potted 2 red n 2 blacks n soon I had a feeling like I was on a 147 before I missed the next red.
Lol or a 7
i hope u doing good breaks now....

The best explanation available on CZcams for Back Spin, well done and thank you. You answered all my questions in this small video!
on my table this would be a stunshot with that speed haha!
I've seen your videos on facebook you still manage to put insane amount of spin
Jesse Thehu Snooker Yeah I thought, holy shit he's under-hit it massively lol
You can't discount the way he times the ball too
exactly thats what i was thinking. noway u could do this on a club table
SM, i never tire of seeing your video again, again and yet again. Your commentary is so clear and electric! The execution demo, just perfect. Like some one else commented, do come back, we await you!

Nicely put Matthew he did a great 147 today 👍🏻🍀
you have the best cue action I have ever seen brother. so smooth
I practice with a friend of mine who is a professional. He gives me a 100 lead to start with. I do a lot of hard work to maintain my lead but finally he wins me with a lead of 47.
Mr. Murphy
You are known to have the best timing among all professionals
So

A screen shot from the side showing your arm motion and how much you follow through might be helpful too. Glad you are sharing your valuable knowledge.
There's no way way you could generate that much screwback on a club table.
Well I did many times unless you play on one where the club owners don't give a shit and don't have theirs reclothed for 10+ years
Agreed
Yes you can
yes you can. you can generate even more screwback. this vid is only half of what pro player can do
amarsbarr also with shhhty balls
Damn that gorgeous cue action :)
great video, i love how short and to the point these videos are!
Oh great Merlin, you said the magical words every one must remember; quote You got to do the opposite of what your brain tells you to do unquote !!!! You were so clear in conveying what must be exactly done. Thank you.
0:23 "maybe even on a 147".. yeah.. very funny Shaun ^^
These lessons you are giving here are so helpful and amazing. Please just keep doing what you are doing.
Thank you Shaun :)
i confirm that follow thru is the key as he said
i tried it myself and getting use to it from time to time. now i can do like this video with not much worrying. thanks to Shaun I am your fan!
Hey Shaun thanks for all the tips on your you tube channel...it'd be great if you started doing them again..keep winning from Galway..
for that distance, the best I could get is a stun shot lol
where are you Shaun..
we were so happy that you started the channel , pls come back .
Shaun there has Never been Another player to me that Hits it like You' 1 of My Fav's'
Hey well played Shaun.. Was a delight to watch today mate, East Midlands loud and proud, with Kyren too :-D
Absolutely brilliant video! Thanks so much!

The way he explains ... 💯💯💯
"If you've had a chance to clear up, maybe on a 147..."
Happens all the time to me. Those pesky greens on the top end...
He's correct about staying down while playing a deep screw shot on a slightly long shot, only time you should be a bit jabbier is when cue ball and object ball is close and your trying to screw back
Unfortunately the club's tables are not as fast as yours mr Murphy. lol
Couldn't you resist from adding this pathetic "lol" at the end?
+Siergiej882 Kowaliow LOL !

Come back and make more CZcams content ! love the tips!
ok, I clicked on this video expecting to see something entirely different.

And other suggestion would be how to play shots when your bridge has to be on the cushion and when the ball is close to the cushion and further.
Miska Lamberg also my two biggest questions, thanks!
"It's going to come back and get you!!!"
Thank you Shaun. I'll see you at Barnsley on Wednesday.
Beautiful !!
Loved it.
you are best teacher ever shaun murphy
lol people complaining their table ain't as fast as Shaun's well guess what you wouldn't be able to play this shot as well as he does :D He is the best in the world when it comes to that cue action!
I'm such a big fan of you from Pakistan
joe lazarus taught me and he always said murphy had the best cue action
Wow..tx bro..this is just brilliant
Always a top gent and respectful!
If I had my own table, I would be on it all the time. Literally
This geeza should write children's stories.
definitely the king of backspin
nice shot with only 1 take finish, great job
Duh. He's a world class professional.
This is just adding to my list of things to do. At the top is buying a cue!
As usual a class act
Hey Shaun, pretty sure you will make good impact on social. Would love to see you resuming the channel and start collecting fans around the world closer. Anticipate your come back soon!
U have awesome skills man
Cue control at it's very best.
Nice pair.
Cloth speed aside, it's still a great illustration of technique and timing. I'd be throwing my body at that cueball to get that reaction.
not bad! it would be good to see exactly where you strike the cue ball.
great video
Thanks shaun YOU are a legend bro
Thanks Shaun Murphy I want to see more videos
You make it look easy, great video and tips you literally are going against your brain
Hi Shaun, I haven't seen many players who can play the stun run-through better than you. Can you demonstrate it with tips on how to control how far the ball travels?
Cheers
very useful indeed.
One question... when using screw do you raise the cue slightly or keep it completely flat in terms of the rear hand?
Mr. Murphy could you please make a video on breakbuilding? And tell us how we gotta think when we are around the balls.
for the summary, just trust the process
Nice one amigo. I'm gonna practise this thanks SM
Nicely cued! I reckon if you go pro you will win some tournaments at some stage if you keep hitting the ball like this...
Say there was 8-10 foot between the cue ball and object ball and you were trying to screw back the full length of the table. Do you think a shot like this is only possible with thin cloths? like a no. 10 Strachan?
Nice one. But could you make movies where you show where we must the cueball?
nice shot
Great vidoes Shaun, a go pro angle would be great though
All in one take!
That looks like a Robert Read quality table!
This is a great channel. Why did you stop posing new videos, Shaun?
Just thought it might be a good idea to warn club players some shots may not be possible on slow club tables.
Hi Shaun, I've tried the deep screw back unsuccessfully so many times, can you show where exactly your hitting the cue ball.. Many thanks Pantelis
Hi Shaun, loving the videos. I'm prone to missing easy shots due to not cueing straight, I think it's something to do with tweaking my grip hand? Was wondering if you could go into detail of the grip hand and cue delivery
Helps if you have championship cloth......try doing that on a club table.....but regardless great content and video

Stephen lee has a the rolls Royce cue action and Shaun Murphy has the Aston Martin cue action 😂
+Cain Byrne And the converse is true as well.
HI Shaun..:)
love your snooker..:)
Would it be possible to show a camera view of where you strike the cue ball? I have been having some problems with screwing anywhere below the bottom 1/3 of the cue ball.
tell me about it , id have knocked the camera man out doing that shot
keep your cue level..
@@wodenoftheangles3339 indeed , i tend to play way too fast , a bit of lining up for once and thinking where the que is would make a world of difference in my game i recon
skip to 2.26 mins if folks are only wanting to see the action & demonstration.

great video thanks
did he win the frame after that shot
hey shaun, please answer this as i cant find an answer anywhere!! i was just wondering what type of tips pros use, including yourself. i dont really mind about the brand, just more if you guys mostly use a soft medium or hard tip. please let me know!!!
+Dave M Two kinds they use. Elk Master or Blue Diamond.
Some players including John Higgins have also used talisman tips.
Dave M Kamuii
+Dave M - So, as you can see, the brand took importance over the hardness :-)
But within the brand, there is a rule: the softer the tip is, more spin and less precision it gives. And vice-versa.
I noticed after taking that shot, the cue jumped up & out of the bridge hand.
Is that what should normally happen?
Thank you sir
Awesome video shuan you are my favourite snooker player by a mile, i posted a video of you making a 147
Please post a video on how to make long pots.
Nice video.
good vid but could you show the deep screw action from the side?
How did you practice when you were a kid as I'm only 12 and would like to get better. Thanks
I would play it with some side to get better bounce of the cusion
Hi Shaun, could you make another video about your cue and especially your chalk. I assume you are using a TAOM chalk from Finland. I'm from Finland and I would like to have your opinion on this chalk and how you like to have your cue set up.
Hope you could make more good videos in the future Shaun!
Come on, bring back content on here ;)
Great videos, Shaun! One of my fails in snooker is the something as basic as aiming. Could you please give me some tips? Keep up the good work!
Hi Shaun, are you ever going to come back to your channel at some point?
Most of the time i struggle with my deep screw shots that ends most of the time as a stoneshot🙈
I do my feders ,i do the follow through , but nothing happens, only sometimes,
Could it be the kind of tip i am using ? I use black kamui tip,
Probably its not the tip 1🤔
Its more likely my self doing something wrong.
Could some expert help me?
Thank you in advance 👍
