Thanks for watching pal

Hi MrX Thanks for the comment, So what you are saying is correct its the actual physics of the movement of the balls and it sounds you have this new found knowledge and want to share with coaches that might not express this, there more than the two videos you have mentioned showing this effect. Your Coach isnt there to NOT help you in your game mate and I would hope to say more of the coaches know this effect. They dont ignore the Cut induced throw its just sometimes more information than needed and can confuse a player because as you now know now there is not one but diffrent places to aim for to pot the object ball but you need to have a soild reference point to start with. Also to use spin to counteract CIT isnt as easy as its made out to be. The cueing and skill level to accurately use 1mm of side consistantly is very difficult and if you can do that ill be watching you on the TV remember there is sqeeze CIT on every angle shot unless its a medium paced top spin shot, so that canceling out spin would need to be applied. Im sure you know the difficulties yourself of side spin and all the learning that is needed to use it constantly correctly, if you cannot hit the center of the cue ball constantly how can you accurately use 1 mm of side correctly from the center point, plus all the environmental differences that can effect side in the local clubs, cloth, balls humidty pace of the cue ball not to mention that the side you need to apply so cancel CIT might NOT be what you want and so on, add that to the tension of a match if you play League snooker it all becomes much more difficult, of course until you are at the level where all this is natural and that is when I would be cheering you on on the tv lol So in conclusion before you teach all this, having a reference point to start with helps the player and you can add this to the players knowledge as they understand the basics and can cue well enough for it to be effective. There is so much more to the game than one new bit of learning mate , but hopefully you have read to this part and the secret you have learned will transform your game to not missing a black with reds on the table during a line up and clear up instead. I know this most likely wont answer your comment but thank you for watching and taking the time to make your points. PS who was your famouse coach ? you have given me at Stephen some stick here so no need to hid his name lol Where is you are playing from ? few American pool tables in that hall.

@@TheSnookerShed I had coaching with Jimmy Whites old coach Alan Bell. He got me hitting the white better and showed me some shots, but we never talked about anything other than ghost ball aiming. Most people are like robots, you give them a command, and they stick to it like glue until they get the next. Because of that, IMO teaching ghost ball aiming to beginners is almost cruel. It took me 4 years to realise, having been down the cue action rabbit hole and blaming everything other than aiming for misses, that there was something going on with a ghost ball aim, and I finally concluded, like Coach Brando, that the ghost ball method is just not working for a very large percentage of common shots. Even just taking throw into consideration, without even being mm accurate, gives you a much greater chance of potting the ball, especially on those soft stun shots we use around the black. Teaching a newbie (like me) to trust your aim, and that the aim should be with no side and ghost ball, is probably what has held me back for so long. I only started accounting for throw about a month ago, and I've already put about 30 on my high break which is now 67. I can also now see the intricacies in my aim, because I know that shots will throw, so I can work out if I aimed too thick, or too thin, by watching which side the ball goes in the pocket. This is instead of missing the pocket entirely with ghost ball aiming and then blaming my cue action, or my stance, or my grip , or my..... etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

PS. If you want to see this stuff clearly, watch good billiards players. They use spotty cue balls nowadays and you can see exactly what the cue balls are doing. They make big use of the effect because the angle the rolling cue ball comes off is very predictable and is almost the same for a much wider range of cut angles than you would think.

@fatroberto3012 thanks pal yeah I have watch some not a lot but some even played a couple of first to 50 I was surprised how much fun it was and I learned how no to go in off lol Thanks for watching

Hi Im sure thats what the video said the cue ball will follow the tangent line until spin takes effect if no spin it would continue in the 90 until friction would take effect and move it off the t line

Hahaha I have to agree and that’s what mark Allan said when he seen it followed by what the f&$k happened to it. It’s been a great tool to learn on not just as a player but as a coach.

Thanks for watching pal Yeah it is,I used a full size and cut it down. I don’t have a large enough garden to have a full one, so I make do with this. It’s been great but the better I become the more the limited it is

Thanks for watching Sarah Part two out in a couple of weeks

Thanks pal

Thanks for watching I hope it helps pal

Yes that very true but it can also has an effect on the cue ball as the spin reacts with the cloth.

Thanks for watching

@@TheSnookerShed Thanks

@johnsaunders6510 I will mention this in the next video side part 2

Thank you for watching mate Where are you in the world? So when you strike the cue ball where is your eyes are looking?

@@TheSnookerShed Berlin. I look in the direction of the white ball in the area of the object ball. No focus on a particular point. I tried playing white ball, after some time, if i dont focus on playing white, I somehow switched back to obj ball. But I have to say, playing white was first unsecure, but then I got a better feed back if I stroke across the ball. So, I still considering to force me playing white. Old habits die hard, i guess.

I think for this, where we look when we deliver the cue seems a natural decision. Both methods have pros and cons its how we deal with them best without to much thought. I visited Berlin with the RAF Regiment to do a miltary competition I wish i could remember were it was,it was in the East sid ei remember that lol but the city was nice. How popular is snooker there ?

Thanks for watching brother There is a link in the description or if you go to my newest video there is a link in there. Cheers

Thank you my friend

Thanks pal

Yeah I can make a short video on

Thank you for watching How are you ?

Hey there I though it was just me that spent a Saturday night doing snooker stuff lol 😂 Thanks for watching Wayne I hope you get some value from your time Cheers

@@TheSnookerShed im always watching video's or having a few games ( if i can get on a table ) as where i live the local pub has 2 tables and only costs a pound for the light for half an hour but there's always people in the snooker room, other than there i have to travel into Nottingham city centre to guarantee a free table and it gets expensive and really busy so can't take my time and enjoy it. Now I've found your channel I'll definitely be a regular and hopefully have my name on the door 1 day, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hey SJ unfortunately im just a friend of Ronnies coach. Thanks for watching please sub and hit the like button

Hi Richard Thanks for watching.Good question that and I have seen a few pros do this with there cue. You would think that the grip would be very tight but it might not need to be have a go, I have tried and found it useful in some long screw shots and it forces you to keep you head still, of course like you said the cue needs to be well ,not super stiff. As for the video im researching a cue maker to do a all about cues video. Hopefully coming up in the next few months. Cheers

Absolutely it was a real privilege pal

Yeah I have pal hopefully it will be up soon

Ronnie, can't believe I hadn't discovered this channel before. I'm guessing by the accent the snooker shed is within 30 miles of me 😂

@@TheSnookerShed ok thank you

Thanks for watching George and the support from you

hahaha big hat how is your Game George

Hahaha. Yes I do George you were the one picking out the balls as you have done for some many of my best moments

Hahahhaha thanks for watching Ian nothing like a good Scottish accent eh

Your welcome pal I hope it answered your question. Where are you in the world and how did you hear about the snooker shed ?

Thank for watching pal So the foot was an example of discipline no more than that if you have picked up what that part of the video was about. The center ball can you explain why it’s crap I’m interested to hear your opinion

Yeah having a good pre shot routine is hand it will help you be more consistent. It’s getting the right one that takes the time and hard work. I totally agree on no mater what one you choose stick with it. Test the different ways so you understand how they work for you And then decide. Look forward to hearing from you. And thanks for watching pal

Cue action - feather or not to feather?

@user-sh2vu9wx8s definitely feather Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching gamer Yeah it would be good to have a look at you when playing to see what your eyes do. Your game is improving pal

I’m the same but it’s interesting to look at other ways Thanks for watching pal

So just realised that actually I have started to look at cue ball on certain shots. Mainly off the cushion (I have practiced them a lot recently). I found that if I am confident I'm on the line in a shot like this it is more important to strike centre ball. I think I tell myself to do it when bridging over balls too just to stop any kind of unwanted side.

@@sarahmilne4481 difficult shots of the cushions. If the cue is resting on the cushion it’s so easy to add unwanted side It’s all about finding that method of hitting the CB where intended and practicing this technique consistently Thanks for watching and commenting

Hey pal thanks for joining me again and watching. This is really interesting to me mainly because I don’t do it. So where is your looking when you are walking in on the shot and on the end of your back swing?

@@TheSnookerShed looking at the object ball when I walk in and cue ball on back swing.

Thanks for watching pal it’s good to hear from you. Aye I put out as much information as I think people will stay watching

So I have been have heard Donna And a few others too. He also glances at the pocket on his feathers. My mate Ross muir says he looks between the obj ball and cue ball at times lol But I try not to used pros as examples as they have so much extra stuff like talent and hours of practice or make a comparison unrealistic. So are you cue ball or object ball

Thanks for watching and com

Golfers look at ball not the flag.

I don’t play so no idea lol But would that equate to object ball watcher ?
