From a beginner's perspective, the editing of where you hit the cueball really helps. For each shot the viewer can try to predict where it will land... which is a great exercise. Thanks for the effort you put into this!

Great Videos! Even without any explanation, these videos from the headcam perspective would still offer great insight into how a first class consistent cue delivery should look to any player as their shot is being played and these videos also provide players of all standards a far better impression of how exactly pots are cued in terms of power and where the tip should contact on the cueball in order to achieve both accurate successful potting and also crucially the desired position on the next ball needed to continue building a break.

@garethlloyd14453 жыл бұрын
Technically there's only 128 professional snooker players normally. The new season will consist of 122. To get on the tour is extremely hard. The rest are considered to be amateurs. This guy has probably tried to get in to tournaments but not good enough. Some players can be amazing potters but struggle with safety play. I also feel that snooker is the hardest game to master. I think of it as a video rpg game where they level up with experience. Amateur footballers are like level 1 and you level up to 5 and your semi-pro. Level up to 10 and your professional with some players getting up to 15 like Messi. I see all sports like this. The quality from a top player to a amateur. Then when I do this with snooker. The pros are so good compared to amateur and even good players, they are like levels 35 to 40. If anyone can make sense of that 😂
@SteveNinetyski3 жыл бұрын
@@garethlloyd1445 You are not wrong. The guys on tour are absolute gravy compared to even the best amateurs. I have played my whole life to a decent level. My best break is 135 and I would get thumped 5-0 by any tour pro, those tables are ridiculous to play on compared to club tables.
@garethlloyd14453 жыл бұрын
@@SteveNinetyski still 135 is still something to shout about. You could randomly grab 1000 people off the street and they all had ago at snooker and they all can be bad. Players who can achieve a century break are still a rare breed. Im much better at pool, getting pub trophy whatever. Along snooker my top break was 32.

Amazing to watch this, but I saw Stephen Hendry do the same thing. This dude has great action and technique, but you can see the little imperfections in the stroke etc. Stephen Hendry was perfection. Cue action was dead straight like it was laser guided. This dude is still sooooooo good, but I was just able to notice the difference now we can watch these type of videos from arguably the best player ever. It's him or Ronnie for me. I learn more from watching these breaks though than 100 other videos on snooker breaks. It's wonderful to watch someone this good from this perspective.

As someone just getting back into playing snooker IRL (and not just using a very accurate and helpful snooker sim on my PC called Shooters Pool {HIGHLY RECOMMENDED}) I can confirm that you make this game look stupidly easy, and it's not. That said you have a brilliant way of presenting easy-to-practice methods for anyone who wants to improve their game, and for that I am awarding you my 'Best Thing On The Internet' Award for this year so far.

Hi mate, been viewing your videos for quite some time and I'm quite a fan. I've played snooker myself for the past 14 years, have played in world/european championship events abroad and my highest break in a session playing someone is 147 (was stuck on 146 for a number of years). You're clearly a great potter and good with safety too, I just think you need to believe in yourself a bit more with your scoring. Pro/am tournaments will definitely sharpen your game alongside with sold match practice. Your content is amazing replicating the best shots ever played as well as offering advice to new players who want to start playing. Keep believing in yourself and I'm sure your form will improve :) I've a few videos on my channel if you want to check them out, could even arrange a few snooker sessions in the future if you're up for it (depending how local you are to me). Look forward for the next upload, regards -Sam Thomas
