I liked the smooth delivery and the timing part. It really increase the potting rate. Also very valuable lesson that to have maximum top spin doesn't need to use max power which mostly cause to lose the line of the shot but to keep the cue more parallel to the table. APPRECIATE FOR SUCH WONDERFUL LESSONS❤

Hi Steve, great channel, always helpful. How about a video explaining the Tangent Line? A lot of Pool tutorials mention this as the starting point for judging the positional path after contact as the cue ball always leaves the object ball along this line before any of the spins take effect. Cheers.

Hi Lee, It's probably not the tip to be fair. Things like that have very little impact on the shot outcome. Tips are more about feel for the player and not about helping or hindering the shot.

i was told to parallel the cue to bed of table years ago and since then i cannot play at all. my body weight has changed, i have huge alignment problem now, i can see that my cue is very parallel to the table and if forces me to have a bent bridge arm and my body weight feels strange, watched a recent shaun murphys video where he "says body weight should be on left leg if its not then ur stance is wrong"..... do you have any video about weight balance in relation to cue parallel , thank you

Hi Steve, In around the seventies or eighties, I think it was a Pot Black teaching session, on the BBC. John Pulman, world champion 1957 to 1968, did a series of snooker coaching sessions, and as a part of those sessions he advocated the “stop the cue at the white” for stun shots. There will still be players either having watched the programs or, this method being passing on by them to now older players, who then pass it on to younger players. Some of the older players might now be well into their 50's. or their 70's like me. I can remember discussions in my club as to the benefits or otherwise amongst the players at the time. I didn't agree with John Pulman but, others did. I though you might be interested in this piece of useless information. Keep up the good work, as I have said before, after playing league snooker for 35 years and am now retired at the age of 70, I watch your sessions avidly and they are improving my gave no end. So Thanks. Terry in North Shields.
@BartonSnooker Жыл бұрын
Hey Terry, I know the name John Pulman of course. That's a great bit of insight into how things were taught. I guess in those days snooker was still in its infancy, and people hadn't analysed it anything like we do now. Of course, as you say, stopping at the white makes no logical sense, but is of course harmful. It gives a player another type of ball strike to worry about. When in fact we want a consistent delivery on every shot, and then just adjust the height and speed we hit. Thanks a lot for watching and thanks for that bit of trivia. Very interesting. Steve 🙂

@@BartonSnooker Hi again Steve, My comments seems to have caused a bit of a storm unfortunately. Others without your qualifications and experience know better it seems. At the time of the BBC program the conversations were about John Pulman being world champion for 8 or more times and, he should know what he was talking about. Experience showed John to be wrong as this method wasn't as successful as the follow through method in our local experience. It looks like the Pulman method has in fact prevailed after the event for quite some time, 40 years or more, without being refuted. Billiards was still popular at the time and a lot of the older players were aficionados but, billiards was a touch, caress and smooth game and side was a big part of in off's in billiards. I can only assume the Joe Davis snooker methods prevailed for snooker and , billiards was another game with different skills entirely. I have given my copy of the Joe Davis method of snooker to my son for his library, if Joe follows through then the arguments against it are lost. I will see if he can look it up in the Joe Davis book and let you know, unless you have a copy somewhere. Though times and coaching from the Joe method have moved on leaps and bounds the basics were ironed out by Joe. Snooker is a game no one will ever get to the end of, perfection is at illusion. Though we may never find our El Dorado, we can hone our game by looking for and embracing proven methods of improvement. Thanks again for your free coaching and long may it continue. Terry in North Shields.

Hi Barton. I'm a 50 break standard player but I'm always struggling to screw the ball back. I always miscue because my coach says I'm too high up on the shot and my grip isn't loose enough. Is there any routines to combat it?
@shawnogg8208 Жыл бұрын
Just went through this. The low and slow stop shot was my key routine. It does not stress you out, so you can play the game 'how slow and light can I play that shot?. 'How parallel can I keep the cue then and how do I do that (grip....)?' Film yourself. Do not go extremely low on the white, it is not neccessary for quality. Worked for me to get a solid idea of a repeatable quality screw back.

Like I say in the video. That shot must be mastered as with the black to red that I show, you have no choice but low and slow. That shot is used many times per frame all around the table. Never avoid parts of the game you don't like. Always try to master them to keep improving your skillset 👍

Could you possible do a video explaining a popular technique. This is where a player feathers the cue and on the final delivery they push the cue through fractionaly, pause and then deliver the cue. Ding, many Chinese players and others like kyren Wilson do this. It makes zero sense to me. The players who don't use this technique are the consistent multiple winners.
