How To Be A Snooker Show Off

[@alibryant8588]

Love the classic impossible cut, always a doozey to fluke. Taking a break from life (and work) in Canberra, Australia.

[@faisaliqbal6322]

Woah. I have never seen snooker played in such a way. Amazing, especially the black and white over the pack!

[@ciarancooling3014]

Went to my club for the first time in months, underated thing about being crap, doesn’t matter if you haven’t played in months, you play to your usual level😂

Love the jaw shot, especially when pink and black are left and you need a snooker. Doesn't come up very often. I'd only play a few of these when the showboating started, i.e. When the frame is safe! Interesting video.

I love it when Stephen uses the jaw of the pocket to get position and when Jimmy used the jaw of the pocket to get out of a snooker. Again murphys shot to nothing pot when he used side coming off of the cushion is awesome too

[@lucas29476]

4:40 Why would the object ball “straighten up” when you do a jump shot? If the white is airborne when it hits the red, then it hits the red at a thinner angle.

[@dilshikista143]

Where should I am, for side ball? Cuz it is straight, and with side to play, is very difficult.

Un Nooh, Mark Selby and Jimmy White were in this video

[@teodorhristev7864]

For some reason I thought first 8 shots were hard and then I see the ninth and I release I have done that so many times but on a full pool table, but I have barely done normal swerve shots...

[@dragos7puri]

2:31 That does not look like it has a potable angle, and yet it goes in at medium speed. 7:56 Because the cue ball went in the direction of the spin, doesn't it mean that you hit the object ball first and then the cushion, hence the cue ball went in the spin direction? Had it hit the cushion first, the right side spin would take effect, hit the black and then continue at a ~90° relative to the cushion. Greetings from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

[@nicktrousers]

At 2:31 i think what makes it go in easier is the natural top spin the red gets from rolling on the table and after the hit on the red along the cushion (quite thick hit) it does not simply leave the red at a 90 degree but arcs forward toward the pocket because of the topspin. I guess its what the call natural angle. The red will basically pot with varying degrees of thickness of contact on the second red always close to the natural angle not just because there is room for error in the pocket size. Its close to the pocket and it kind of arcs into it. It tends to leave at that natural angle. . Unless you hit it too thin or too thick obviously... but there is an in between where it works. About 7:56 im not sure... i feel like when i play those i hit cushion first. The cushion compresses and the side spin makes the black go. And because of cushion compression the black will go more often than you think with different amount of side spin and power. Not super consistently though but quite a bit. Although i understand what you mean about it leaving at 90 degrees... not sure about this one. Although the amount of side spin needed for this shot is a lot and if you just hit a cushion head on with so much side spin it leaves at a very different angle to what you see here after the black gets potted. So its definitely cushion first and then black and it leaves very close to 90. Maybe someone else can come along and give his view about these 2 points

[@mozb87]

The shot to create an angle on a straight shot, I don't think I've ever seen this in a professional match surprisingly, even after the frame is won. I guess the difficulty is too great of a risk.

[@mozb87]

It would make a nice exhibition shot, although probably lost on the audience!

[@gurditrehal3348]

Hi Break From Life Watching from London here For the swerve shot, the higher the angle of the cue the shorter the swerve but do you still aim at the same point on the cueball? Also, for number 8 (the sideways sceewback), can this be used if on the wrong side of the blue?

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

Are these jump shots allowed?

[@ALiIqbal123]

How can we control our cue

[@ryanguppy7785]

Sorry to bother you buddy,just curious about your opinion on people that cue with their chin slightly to the right or left? Would your chin in line with the cue make a significant difference?

[@ryanguppy7785]

Only I feel if you go away from what feels natural to much it could have a negative impact

[@Breakfromlife]

It’s depends how you sight the ball and can be affected by the angle and tilt of your head. The last part of this video explains how you can find out how to get everything in the right place

[@ryanguppy7785]

I always thought jump shots were illegal?

[@Jimorian]

You only can't jump the cue into the object ball, but if you hit the object ball clean, you can either *then* jump the cue, or the object ball.

[@eddieharding6788]

Man I miss snooker

[@UnimatrixOne]

*Jumpshots* nice! 4:41 that legal 5:23 but that´s illegal right?

[@obs4281]

I don’t think so nah, because the cue ball already made contact with the object ball (the black in this case) before the object ball left the bed of the table

Is it just me or are these fairly common shots in american pool? I mean i use most of these fairly often whether from a bad leave or due to my opponent hooking me. Great video though regardless, deems like most people dont understand the range of shots available in order to win.

Yet another fantastic instructional video, delivered masterfully. It's becoming monotonous.

[@FanVarious]

Personally I think this is one of your best videos and its a shame it's titled 'How to be a snooker show off'.

[@fractal_mind562]

Can I just confirm that jumping over a ball like in trick 5 is an illegal shot in an actual game ?

[@vmax4steve524]

Shot one, you ARE really partially swerving around the intervening ball because any kind of side spin will make the cue ball react that way with the cloth. This shot can only be played at one pace depending on the distance between the cue ball and the object ball, harder the cue ball deflects too much and it doesn't swerve enough, softer it swerves too much, makes the correct contact but doesn't have the pace to reach the pocket. The spin on the cue ball does not kick the object ball, if you make an exact dead straight contact with spin on the cue ball you will see the object ball go straight, none of your contacts are spot on because it's a partial swerve and the red goes into the side of the pocket everytime because you're swerving the cue ball just enough to make the pot.

[@FSCubing24]

How is you table-less trick shot video coming along??

[@Breakfromlife]

if you mean the one where I did a trick shot and then said does anybody else want to have a go I think I’ve got four replies from that two were quite good but lasted about 10 seconds each. And the other 2 were just on a pool table instead so needed more unfortunately

Why are you allowed to jump the cue ball after contact with a ball, but not before contact? That seems like an inconsistency in logic
