This is the best thing ever on snooker. It is the first time anyone has ever shown how a real pro warns up for an actual match. In almost all other sports you can get a good idea how the pro's warm up just by attending the event. In golf you just go to the practice range and see the pros( which can shock the average player). In tennis you buy a ticket and got to the practice courts. Till now snooker has been hidden. At 34 minutes the safety practice is a great idea. I am going too play that as a competitive game. One point for a cue ball between the back of the D and the cushion. Thanks you Barry and Kyren

[@BarryStarkSnookerCoach]

Steve. Kyren is one of those players who loves to give something back to the fans and club players. Many thanks.

[@chrisbird4284]

I saw Kyren when he played an evening in Snooks in Blackheath near Halesowen, Barry came along , invited by Kyren, Barry was an absolute gem .... full of stories and admiration for Kyren ..... Barry chatted to my husband and brother during the interval , he is like a proud surrogate dad , Kyren went on to do a 147 on the evening and the audience went absolutely wild, my husband and brother included 👍 Barry is an absolute star and Kyren will appreciate this senior guy for ever 👍we are now following Kyren... and Barry 👌

Become a fan of Kyren recently, not only his gameplay and seeing him on your channel, but he’s a great sportsperson. The other week when he told the Stewards not to kick the old gentleman out for his phone going off, and asked them to put it on silent for him, I gained a lot more respect for him. A gentleman of the game!

I don't think it is possible to cue straighter than Mr. Wilson in this video. Nicely done. And now I know why. Kyren is a professional snooker player !

[@PrOfUngaBunga]

Hi Barry, thanks for the video. It's great to see a player of Kyrens calibre practice and get an insight into his practice routine. Couldn't help but notice the control he has over the cue, it's perfectly straight on every shot. This is an area of my game that I seem to struggle with. More practice videos with Kyren would be very helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@barrievesty1314]

This helped me a lot, I am friends firstly with Kyren, I've met you Barry at Barrats, but live in China. I never understand why I play in my club freely, play really good, then go to a tournament and play awful. I am now regional Champion, but that tournament was in my club, so I can play, my practice routines are similar. I do not do line ups, I like to put the balls around, pot, relax, flow, learn the cloth, more important the side, top, stun I am putting into the cue ball. Obviously in my club, i know that on the tables we have. A few weeks ago I went for a seniors tournament, was playing amazing the night prior on one table, went to play, played awful on "new to me" cloths/tables they had in the match area. Same for a tournament I qualified in, that Kyren played in, I beat some very good players to reach it, then played awful, I need to learn these routines before matches. This gives me a good sense of things i need to do.

M.Stark, You must be so proud being a coach to someone who got to the Masters final! Your videos are of great help to a very large snooker lovers worldwide.

One of the finest practice videos I've ever seen. I live in the Midwest of the USA, and shoot mostly on 9 ft. billiard tables. Sadly, there are no snooker tables within 150 km of me.

Wow, great video, just what I needed. I'm the type of guy who never really knows what to do with the little table time I have.

What an moment in these difficult times when every one is so stressed. Your team is so close knit and the result is to be applauded with reverence. These are not mere words but our awe at your achievement. The last frame was perhaps a pointer as we were looking for a total clearance despite the moment as the result was already writ; yet the red was not to be missed at the glorious moment, yes?
