Snooker Coaching Session | Shot by Shot Break Tips

[@ash6415]

Can you do a video on how to stop missing easy shots? I would be unbeatable if I could do that 😂

[@999trapped]

Destroy your egoband attitude towards the game and be focus and pot the easy shorts😂❤

[@adrianlai281999]

focus

[@BarbaraSimon-xi8jr]

that’s right!

[@axlan186]

Focus. Take easy shot like your life depend on it. Ofcourse you will pot it.

[@samhunt3201]

Just wanted to say that your tutorials are absolutely amazing. I've just been watching one of your videos on sighting, and it makes so much sense ! I need to take myself back a few steps as well with regards to learning potting angles. I think I have them , and then move on to other things, playing with side etc, but in reality, I haven't actually learned that potting angle properly! God it's a hard game, but people like you make me want to keep playing!

[@9700am]

Really helpful video, reinforcing these shots with regard to pace and whether to stun, screw or topspin. 😊

[@mixed.up.contents]

These tips are valuable are like diamonds. Special tnx to barton snooker ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@imtiazhameed-u7l]

Sir Barton. As an Indian snooker fan and fan of Primarily RONNIE & then JUDD THESE TWO REASON I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS game i wish we had a coach like you here in Bombay where i live. SUBBED.

[@SeanKingprawn-lu2kd]

These videos are brilliant! It’s great to see what you’re looking at via the headcam, and also the graphic of where to strike the cue ball. I’m sure that my game will improve now by putting your tips into action. Thanks very much for going the extra mile. 👍

[@CraigT-L]

Coaching session, finally booked! Look forward to seeing you learning/improving my game :)

[@R0bhug]

Love this routine and is one I do on a regular basis. Sometimes I’ll put a red just above the pink as well.

[@dzucco1]

Such useful tips there. The slow stun shot and black with a hint of side are shots I need to master, thanks to this video it will help me for certain 👍

[@lilchris26]

Nice video Steve, I love that key shot ie the stun on the black. I do not get it right every time but love trying it.

[@asadhussain5267]

This is a great routine to try no matter how easy some of the shots look. Great video Barton snooker

[@jakita4]

Brilliant video - I liked the slightly longer format, lots of info and it felt like a helpful coaching session

[@BartonSnooker]

Thanks a lot. Great to help 👍

[@papaidodekiekin3089]

Excelent video!! Such a clear explanation. Thank you

[@TheNewViewProduction]

Great video. More of these with other varied shot choices would be great

[@PM-fs2eg]

Off to the club to try this...yet another superb vid. Thanks!!!

[@dwijenrao1776]

so many valuable tips in this video, many thanks for sharing

[@mzzzzz2179]

One of the best video, very informative. Thanks Steve

[@Lionroarr]

This video is highly valued; It helps my game a lot.😊

[@haroonurrasheed4340]

Thank you for the video. It's a really helpful guide.

[@jason147h6]

Great routine as always Steve👍 Can you do a video on deceleration? What causes it and more importantly how to eliminate it. I've noticed Hendry mentioning that he decels very often on his cue tips channel while playing a fun frame with his guests

[@Sammybolo123]

Love the video, I am going to practice this 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@noorul89]

Fantastic video..always great to watch 👍

[@abhinavsaroj9251]

Thanks for the video, Steve. I had few questions if you might help with those in your upcoming videos. 1. How to align the cue and eyesight to the line: When I focus on the line then cue would not be aligned and if I try to focus on cue alignment then I lose the shot line. 2. How to have checks and balances for making sure cue, wrist, elbow and head are in same plain every time before shot. Do you have any trick for this?

[@chicane7929]

Unbelivebel it looks so easy how you put this balls...i play Snooker rigth now for 1 year and practise 3 times a Week and i now how difficult it is...Respekt and thx for sharing your skillz you are really a Great teacher and Player 🙌🏽

[@BartonSnooker]

Thanks so much. Really great to help. You will improve a lot the more you play and you will be a great player 👍

[@Delphiwizard]

Simply awesome, exercise looks familiar

[@mrgerrytube]

These vids are brilliant 👍👍

[@wh7323]

Hi Steve, any chance you could explain why the pause is at the backswing? I can't seem to pause then follow-through thanks

[@faddy1117]

When you use a trace/touch of helping side, do you have to make the adjustment and allow for the deflection and throw of the cue ball or just go for the aiming point you chose as if it was centre ball striking? Please guide.

[@yahmanaiman2877]

Can you make a video what the best cue tip.. soft , medium ,medium hard or harder? Plisss..

[@LeeRandall-Pybus]

Excellent video

[@thomasshaw3760]

Hey Steve. Awesome videos. I had at look at where you're based today and Willenhall is a bit too far for me to travel, as much as I'd love a few coaching sessions with you (although I do see that you've had folk travel from Germany!). Any recommendations for a good coach who is in line with your calibre in Fareham/Portsmouth/Southampton? area?

[@BartonSnooker]

Hi. Thanks a lot for watching. I don't know of any other coaches as everything I teach I have designed myself. I have 100s of routines and things I have learnt over the years that helped me become the player I am today. That's all the stuff I pass on in my sessions, without getting bogged down in details that don't matter (and can sometimes actually hinder progress).

[@Dancatspoolschool]

You have completely changed my game. Thank you!

[@onionskid]

Has you're biggest break improved from this drill or are you just making more consistent breaks now ?

[@Dancatspoolschool]

@@onionskid Hey I wasn't talking about this drill in particular. It was his video called something like '5 common mistakes' which has revolutionised my game

[@greenr102]

This is great, and very helpful! It does look like you are putting a small amount of helping/outside siding on the majority of shots, but your diagram shows you on the middle axis of the cueball. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think you are naturally putting side on, or is it an effect of the camera angle or something?

[@BartonSnooker]

I am playing side on the shots - yes. Many players do play with helping side. You don't HAVE to do that, which is why I don't show it on the cue ball graphic. But yes, I am intentionally doing it on all my shots.

[@greenr102]

@@BartonSnooker Thanks for clarifying, I appreciate it!

[@VLAD-ko4pl]

Thnx

[@bbwnpat]

Am i right in thinking when applying the touch of side for the majority of these soft pots around black you are making little to none deviation? My thinking is a such a slow pace any deviation is minimal so you aren’t making any allowance as such. Other than perhaps the check side you used with a little more pace to get back on line close to black? Thanks.

[@BartonSnooker]

@@bbwnpat you're always making an adjustment, it just on the ones around the black, it becomes more intuitive. But yeah, players start to just naturally pot things with touches of side in the end.

[@bbwnpat]

@ thanks.

[@Surajchandra290]

I learn most of knowledge from you sir and I improve the game more love from india❤❤❤❤

[@IDICBeer]

More like this please :D

[@renewagner7104]

Thanks Steve ❤ Greetings 😉👍

[@walterbagot8555]

thank-you, excellent !

[@saniakawal4902]

Why we miss shot after potting 3 to 4 balls can you tell about this situation

[@Ferrarimenf50]

Hi Steve, do you mind make a video to show us how to pot a ball if two balls are too close to each other? (ie: 1 ball distance) It is too difficult to aim the shot and always miss it!

[@BartonSnooker]

Yes I will do it!

[@Ghenchen]

From New York here :- i play decent snooker but my question is kinda random yet much needed answer:- so, when i am building my break, as when my break gets higher and higher, my adrenaline kicks in and that is when i miss the most shots like when my break is above 40-50 thats when every miss happens naturally even though when i’m keeping my composure and focus. Why is that ? Any insights? Is this about consistency ?

[@BartonSnooker]

Everyone gets nervous as the break goes higher. The trick is to forget the break and just keep doing the right things. Good pre shot routine, keep still, execute the shot. If you miss, at least you did everything correctly. But remember we all get nervous.

[@jameszheng7699]

good practice routine

[@mehranaslam375]

As always sir ❤

[@chrisjohnson4165]

Gold.

[@hamidgholamiii]

Tnx

[@axlan186]

Before i know you, Steve i dont have any confidence to play in a tournament. But now after 3 months practicing by watching your channel n others, i have played 1 tournament, n get into the best 16. I faced the defending champion n lost the match. I joined another tournament n again, i got to the best 16 , again! My opponent is the runner up for the last season in my club. Our match will take place next Monday! Steve, please give me some advice for my preparation. I really want to win the match because i dont know why i feel really confident to beat my opponent even with my shoulder injury i just got after practicing for 4 hours straight. 😂 I wish you all the best , coach! Wish me luck! Greetings from Wangsa Maju,Malaysia!

[@axlan186]

Thank you so much for your tips . It really helps me improve my game, a lot!

[@writetosrj]

Hi Steve! Are there drills one could do on an 8ball table to practice for the once-in-a-month snooker game ? It'll be great if you could do a video on drills one can practice on a smaller table to get better at snooker

[@MrXeberdee]

Thanks for this routine. Looks easy, but it’s not. Some people can push a cue through straight- others not. Been playing and practicing hard 4 years now, still can’t do that. Max break 47, and some days can’t even pot a simple red or string 3 shots together. I set this up and missed the first straight red. It’s pathetic 😂. I’m still not sure if people like me are just bad at aiming or if it’s cue action., grip or what. You would think that after 4 years and so many hours at the table, I would have sorted aiming out and be able to see a shot, but the balls are still hard to see most of the time, and I’m always blaming cue action. Why is it so difficult? I’m ready to give up, and have been on a downer for so long now.Sorry for the rant.

[@WHAT-gm1xm]

Cushion and rail shots are tough to pot
