You teach us important shots, your shot is excellent, when I see your shots, there is no mistake at all. I think you should go to international tournament to play with ronnie, trump, etc I will say, you will win

im lining up with my right feet already on line of aim but my grip hand is to the right of my hip and when i get down the cue butt is offline. should the grip hand be on line of aim while standing up , before walking in? lets say you line up with middle of the body, should the grip hand also be in the middle of the body while standing up, i also tried lining with up middle of my body and the grip hand holding the cue is to my right hip, and when i get down the cue butt is offline please make some comments tnx in advance

04:04 when you step you take the step and get into the shot, that is where i mess up. dont know what goes wrong, but i cannot lend the cue butt on line of aim please make a video on hand and cue position when walking in to lend the cue on line of aim all the time tnx alot

The man in the video says I don't need any advice hes seen my shots

Nice Mr. Barton snooker

Great video, brilliantly explained and demonstrated. I thought controlling the ball was the stuff of rocket surgery, but no its simple, when you are told how. Well done and thanks. Now for the practice, as watching videos wont get me there. "If you could learn from looking and watching alone, every dog would be butcher'.

I think sir steve the way you spilited the bunch that was perfect to make a great break building - your idea to spilit the reds is better than Stephen hendry's idea ❤ Thanks for the video sir steve

.thanks very nice❤❤❤

is it wrong to get excited seeing that. nothing better than brand new cloth...........

Hendry and O'Sullivan are the opposite. They keep their eyes on the cue ball when striking it.

what is the best way or hand position and what to focus to bring both grip hand and bridge hand on line of aim before touching the table? example: focus on grip hand to be above the feet? when my hand touches the table the grip hand is always offline and cue butt is often either left or right

Excellent coach...outstanding player

Doesn't looking at the pocket come into the sighting at all? Is it just in the periphery when cueing? ie you work out the angle when standing? That does mean that for thinner shots you totally trust the angle you picked when standing up.

By far the best coach here!

Wouldn’t you want a finer powder in the cloth instead of chunks? I thought this was an expose but then you recommended it after you showed it does leave larger particles on the table.

Well said Steve. Of course technique matters. Michael Holt is so wrong by describing practicing technique as the death spiral. Despite what Michael says, Everyone needs to consider and be mindful of their technique in their practice sessions. If they don't then that would result in a real death spiral!

Am i right in thinking when applying the touch of side for the majority of these soft pots around black you are making little to none deviation? My thinking is a such a slow pace any deviation is minimal so you aren’t making any allowance as such. Other than perhaps the check side you used with a little more pace to get back on line close to black? Thanks.

Best coach and also an outstanding player!!

Tried this shot in anger for the first time this week after watching this video. Hit it solid and got a good split, first time ever. Only trouble is missed my easy red :( oh well keep practising.

Time to bild confidence , essential for improving this game. Thanks.

Very good video. Thanks. My big issue is cushions, like magnet land on it. But this video is a good help, thanks.

Good base, good setup , will grow in the right direction. Thanks .

Thanks for helping me to make some corrections. This is good.

Thanks. Good to know, bild confidence.

The 3rd reason sounded like nonsense. Yes - short back swing limits screw back. You need a longer back swing and a smooth thrust past the cue ball original position to do a propwr screw back. Yet a longer back swing CANNOT be a fix for not cueing straight! As a matter of fact, hitting the cue ball low tends to generate unintended side spin and a longer back swing exaggerates any weakness in the arm mechanics. Both are common causes for inability to cue straight.

Today, I will practice these tips, and tonight, I believe I will play better , little bit but better. Thanks

Very helpful. Easy, smooth shots. Thanks.

Thanks. It looks like hesitation isn't an option. Good tips.

Thanks. Exactly what I need to.

Thanks Steve. This was great instruction.

Only problem with this video, it looks like hes using side on every shot

Lovingbthese videos. Lets try and put some into practice and still get a high break of 9 😂

Hi there Barton some one answer my question My cue is under chest not touching it so I bring cue to the chest rather chest to the cue. What is solution for that

❤❤

I just focus on using my elbow.. the hand is just holding the cue as light as possible

Another reason to miss an easy shots is the next shot. also miss calculation of the angles for how the cue ball will move to the next position. some shots needs more power to create angle or to make the cue ball travel from down to top of the table or vice versa .. other shots needs less power to hold the cue ball .I mean focusing in the next position than the shot or miss calculate the angles may ended up missing the shot or even missing the target point in the cue ball

Thank you so much Sir. It really really helps. God bless you.

This is the best channel on youtube

I have difficulty feeling where my elbow is. Getting that position correct.

Steve is it ok to grip with last three fingers?

The best snooker coaching channel on youtube. Learnt so much, very informative and useful. Thank you.

These shots are a nightmare! Thanks for your advice 🙂

How much did he charge?

Nice simple video thanks. I have a question about applying side. Do you walk into a shot as if you are playing it plain ball and then adjust for the side? Or do you walk into it to line your cue up with the side applied? Hope that makes sense?! It’s difficult to explain 😂

in my day i used an electric dog collar , had a friend watching me practice , every ball i missed i got a painful shock. here are consequences for you .

Yet another superb video thank you.

Aah! So that's how you hold for the black. Great video.

Watching this video has just helped me understand why I keep missing certain pots! On the recomendation of Stephen Hendry (because he was the first youtube channel I watched when I started playing regularly a few months ago) i was using the method you first shown, but he didn't explain that you don't aim the middle of the cue ball on the potting angle! Think it goes to show why great players don't always make great coahces.

6:20 he didn’t need to look because it’s on the half ball line between the spot and middle pocket

Just pick a spot on the cloth half a ball away from the object ball on the potting angle
