3 Biggest Cue Mistakes (Easy To Fix!)

[@DaTux91]

My friend and I used to regularly go to a snooker club nearby that's run by the family of Raymond Ceulemans, the legendary Belgian three-cushion player. One time, Raymond was there and passed our table on the way to the bathroom while my friend was lining up for a pot. He stopped for a second, corrected my friend's stance and bridge hand, then went on his way. What a night. My friend still missed the pot, of course. 😂

its very fun ive just started playing and it very relaxing

[@stevesoutar3405]

Stephen has just mentioned the things that my father taught me when i was a kid - smooth delivery, no snatching - as well as positioning to give backspin or topspin. Playing billiards reinforces these skills, with hardly anything else on the table to distract attention away from a poor shot I also used to enjoy playing Bar Billiards as well (with the wooden pegs in front of the pockets) - but sadly, you very rarely see one of these tables in pubs anymore

[@5dmkiii60]

Love this guy. He's a gentleman's gentleman and without question one of the greatest of the greats to ever play the game. He's also a fabulous commentator now and I always enjoy the match more when he's providing the commentary. Can't say enough good things about this great man and champion.

[@BlueTitan7]

THE Greatest :)

[@nickllama5296]

Once I realized I was making that first mistake, I spent literally like a dozen practice sessions just working on my cue action and making sure I started following through. I didn't even worry so much about potting anything, it was just working on striking cleanly. Helped my game immensely, and when I played a friend (who I often played against ) afterwards, he immediately noticed the change in the way I was striking the ball. Absolutely the most important thing you can do to make your game better. Great video, Stephen!!

[@danimayb]

100%! You'd be surprised how much better I got at pool just by practising hitting the cue ball in the centre as clean as possible, Even going for the tight angles, Keep it central! I was never a decent player to start with, But I became better than average after working on that, And getting better still :)

[@egroegartfart]

I had no idea you had a KZbin channel Stephen. Glad I found it tonight. I am one of the maybe 20 people from the U.S. that loves snooker. Haha. It's sad but it's true. Most pool players either don't like snooker at all, eventhough they've never played it or they just have never even heard of it. I was one of those up until three years ago. Never really heard of it. But once I started watching matches on KZbin I was hooked. And have been ever since. The terrible part is there is not a snooker table within six hours of where I live. So I'm saving up to get one. I absolutely love the game. I think Americans are impatient for the most part. That's why they play 8 ball and 9 ball. You can finish a game I nteo minutes and on to the next game. Where as in snooker the games can be quite long and so much more strategy, and using your brain to think. I just laugh at Americans who say pool is harder than snooker. Lol. They've obviously never played snooker. The game is so so so hard but I love it. I got to play for six months last year every single day. I spent six months in California and the pool hall there had two snooker tables. So I really got a lot of good practice in. I really miss it. But hopefully here in the next couple years I will have enough to buy one. Thank you and sorry about the lengthy comment.

[@nforne]

The funny thing is, if snooker ever took off over there you'd be amazing at it. We all live in shoeboxes but you guys could probably fit full size tables in your garages.

[@Rob-xn4vr]

I‘m a amateur three-cushion billiards player, but I started to love watching snooker when I saw Steven Hendry on Eurosports. My eyes are not good enough for snooker and snooker tables are rare in Vienna, but it‘s really a great sport to watch. I’m still a big fan of Dennis Taylor, Steve Davis, Jimmy White and above all Steven Hendry.

[@Paul_Abbott_Landsraad_Project]

Lovely stuff. A practical suggestion for the future tutorials, please consider getting a white ball with some dots or a stripe. It will emphasise the effect of playing with side, top and bottom spin more noticeable. Good start to the channel team, looking forward to seeing lots more.

[@FullSkipFlip]

Wonder where in this video would it be required to use a practice ball, ball be requires The first section was about the importance of cueing The second was about the importance of the bridge - primarily staying low and keeping that hand as parallels as possible The third was about hitting the ball center just curious as to where a training ball would be needed or require for any of these

[@Paul_Abbott_Landsraad_Project]

​@@FullSkipFlip I do agree with you that this set of tips in this video regarding bridging etc don't necessarily require that type of cueball to show how it reacts. There are sections here regarding unwanted side and using topspin for example, as well as with other tutorial videos that Stephen has done, the "training white" may of helped some novices out. My initial comment was my own tip as a potential option to give novice/intermediate players a visual guide on how a cueball reacts when hit away from centre. Not just for this video, but for others going forward. Thanks again for the comment.

It is so nice to hear you speak so calm and friendly with real concern for less experienced and less skillful snooker players.

In my 20s I was making about 6 century breaks a year in matches. I stopped playing completely for 20-25 years when other interests took over. Now in my 50s I’ve been playing for 4 years and back to occasional century break form. It’s been hard work getting to a point where I can find the centre of the white most of the time when I need to and also making sense of potting angles. People don’t realise how hard this is. I’m still working on it every time I play.

Most of the time he was missing easy pots and not achieving anywhere near what he could have if he'd worked harder on his game and stopped being an alcoholic and smoking crack... Yeah, he was immensely talented, but he actually wasted a lot of it and even dragged poor Jimmy down with him into the all night drinking, gambling and crack smoking BS.

His way to teach is just great and every word sticks so I do remember them at the table. Sadly there where no lessons by Stephen when I was young and had more time to play. Keep up the good work for all enthusiast.

[@MrXeberdee]

Besides head or body movement in the shot, I think a lot of unwanted side is caused by tension in the grip, either fingers or thumbs pushing the cue offline on it's path. At least this has improved my game a lot, practising the cue action with a slow motion and trying to find out what's pushing it offline. Keep a nice consistent medium grip pressure throughout the shot. Observing the position of the cue tip after the shot, and the pressure in the grip is really important to see if you are indeed squeezing or cueing across the ball.
