Snooker Are You Trying Too Hard

[@stephen67aus]

Well thought out content. In my opinion the best KZbin Snooker channel there is.

[@cricketer04]

Been playing snooker for a year now after playing 8 ball and 9 ball league for 4 years. Love snooker, and great channel, your tips helped a lot with the transition. From Houston, Texas!

[@dennisruijl835]

Your videos are incredibly good, mate! Next to snooker techniques, you're even teaching psychology at a very understanding and practical level! Keep going, and cheers from Eindhoven. Dennis.

[@MarkPeisker]

WOW! No comments for 2 years! WTF!! This is maybe the very best video i've ever seen. Give it a relaunch maybe! Congrat's on this one and many others.

[@nemocheerio]

Just wanted to say. I don't even play snooker but your videos have helped me immensely to improve my American pool game. Thanks!!! Ian, Jacksonville Florida, USA.

[@covertnarcisisticawareness1025]

This is very true i find that trying to hard you tend to over think things set the bar to high which in turn makes u more tense throws your cueing off or u hit far to hard or worry about missing shots or over hitting things or even gripping cue too hard therefore have to change the way you play and think take a relaxed approach don’t set the bar to high in play play differently to your abilities in matches and practice on areas that needs work on no point blaming the cue or balls only a bad sportsman will do that you have to accept where you as a player are going wrong and change the way you play start over again even cos once u start getting bad habits its hard to break away from it but sometimes its the only way to succeed !!!

[@Slugaa]

Love the last bit about narrative-thinking! Your channel has taught me that im not the only amateur who has thought about the game and it's meta a lot.

Nick from Pune, India - always enjoy your approach to snooker, was thinking about this very concept yesterday - imagine my surprise at seeing a video for it right away! Thanks :)

[@michaelparanormal]

I`ve beaten my nephew many times but as i get older it getting tougher with nerves creeping in and maybe losing that desire to win anymore or maybe i want him to win because of his anger at losing, i can take it on the chin when i lose but for him its his life, i told him to control your temper and forget about the shots hes missed , i can do it and i think it helps to win!

[@vainparasite]

Michael Broadbent I keep beating my son too and by quite a margin. He has never beaten me and is used to getting the balls out of their pockets. It’s good for him because he knows where all the colours go now, he just struggles with reaching the blue to replace it. I might get him his own cue for his 5th birthday this September.

[@MuhammadAbdullah-nn9hz]

Hi, I'm Abdullah from Lahore, Pakistan. I just recently found your channel and found it really interesting and helpful. I also wanted to know how to play border shots. Please post a video or suggest me that video if you have already posted it. Thank you and love your videos.

This is an important video for all cue sports! Thank you.

[@theallseeingmaster]

Really good advice; someone had to tell the people.

[@deathbyhippies]

any chance you'd ever do a video of a heated table/"regular" table comparison on shots? I'd love to see the performance difference clip for clip.

[@Breakfromlife]

It definitely makes a big difference. Not sure I can stretch that out into an entire video but will try to add it in somewhere

[@kenji9974]

I am pawan from Nepal(Kathmandu) I always appreciate your videos brother.. It feels great watching.. You

[@limjjjjjjjjj]

Much learns from Break From Life and improve snooker playing. it is great channel. I started to play snooker a round a year by having billiards experiences. Anyways I have some problems so that I can only play well in the first few frames and after all I went badly with many mistakes over potting even an easy one. I try to shape and patient my mind to keep like it starts but it still the same. Pls let me know any method to improve! Thanks from Cambodia

[@diggersid456]

I did this. Just realising that its just a game and have fun helped me relax and play better

[@syedfarhanhyderrazvi6999]

[@paulriggall8370]

Having completed my first season in league snooker, playing for two teams, captaining one of them, I have a clearer perspective on this great video. I had a few games where I lost to a player who I know I was better than, and I didn't want to beat them I think, I felt like I shouldn't win yet and that I didn't deserve to just arrive on the scene and win. I'm not that good by the way! But I haven't been playing long and I can see now that I picked the game up quite easily, even though I had to practice every day (actually thinking about it in that sense maybe I didn't pick it up easily, rather I just put in the effort required?) Silly really. I can't wait for the next season as I feel now like I'm not a total noob and that I can play my own game. I don't quite understand why I felt like I shouldn't win, maybe there's some psychology thing going on, but I'm glad I'm out of that phase. Again, great content Mr FromLife.

Amazing ! I always watch your videos and then i play a few games , greetings from Guanajuato your only one subscriber from México !

[@user-yx7dp2pl8t]

Dont play snooker all too often, but your editing has gone through the roof

[@Breakfromlife]

It’s mostly down to upgrades in the cheap iPad app I use and buying extra lights so it’s not incredibly dark all the time

[@stewartmcjinnon6034]

It sounds like the protocol is to first say I am in Brisbane AUSTRALIA. Yes, great content and very well put together with great effort. Wondering if these are all your insights or an accumulation? I realise a professional is only great because he has been helped by wiser souls. Practised plus wisdom equals greatness. A bit of natural talent I guess is needed to get the ball rolling. The next chapter could be about competing and the process of becoming a champion. It is like tennis. You need to be alot better than the best before you will beat them.

[@pritamtamang6203]

Hi, I have a question on snooker psychology. Should we be thinking differently in solo practice than in a real match? For instance, in a real match do you think more about cue ball control as opposed to in a solo practice where you are more observant about your pre-shot routine and straight cueing? In other words, in a real match do you play more by instinct than in practice where you're thinking and observing more about your technique? Regards, Pritam Regards, Pritam

[@hamidali6505]

Good job sir What does power mean? Is it about long back swing or throwing it forward forcefully?

[@chrisdavies9197]

another great video. do you have any tips on cues? no, not the actual cue tip, i'm sure you have one of those. i mean tips on choosing the right cue

[@Breakfromlife]

Definitely trying them first. Quite often you can tell with in a few shots what feels right or not.

[@serajaldeen7364]

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I made significant improvement in my game after learning from them. Yet I still struggle putting the black from its spot and getting good position. I play without any side spin, is this a problem regarding this matter?. Do we need to use side in the back and cushion close balls to continue our beak? Could you make a video of putting the black of its spot with maintaining a good position from high and low angles? Thanks you so much

[@jamesadcock5235]

I was thinking about this today. How a lot of players try too hard and defeat themselves. And how ronnie doesn't do that he just plays what will be will be. Is it luck that he has that mind set. I think he has learnt over the years to have this mind set. So it's not all luck

[@stunn6820]

I love your video❤️❤️❤️ keep uploading~~

Hey man, love your vids. Just a heads up you made a typo on number 4!

Ah not again. One day I will actually make a video without something being wrong.
