Hi cliff I met you a few years back at George Scott’s in Liverpool. You were doing an exhibition night. So glad I had the opportunity to meet you. You gave me an autograph. A real gentleman. Hope I get to see you again someday

[@TheCuggsmeister]

[@EannaButler]

[@johnnieuwenhuys2444]

Thank you Cliff for this tutorial. You are the 1st person to give this advise.

[@lilchris26]

Thanks for this, not too many tutors show systems like this.

[@GregoryMoverley]

Very Interesting Analysis Cliff ! Miss You Cliff !

[@Mike-lp4iq]

[@rolandlewis2356]

Hi Cliff, We have never met, but thanks to the internet, I've watched your 147, the first one at the crucible. If your ever in the Gatineau / Ottawa area, I would love to watch you play. Take care. Roland

[@HorseRaceHandicrapper]

First time I've seen that system anywhere. I'll definitely be trying it.

[@Charlie.c19]

I've never thought if it like this. Brilliant Cliff! Passing your vast knowledge down to us amateurs is much appreciated, my friend :)

[@ArcG3]

Cliff Thorburn, professional snooker player and world champion. It is so incredible to see you! 😄❤ Keep up the amazing work!

[@MuxavirGee]

earned a subscriber and lot of respect for revealing the hack I could never get from any web search or club players.

[@eskertoo]

I always used the 'mirror image' method for one cushion escapes.Imagine a mirror image of the table and aim for the snookered ball on the imaginary table.As an example place the cueball on the black spot and aim at the blue spot on the imaginary table....the cueball will bounce off the cushion and go over the blue spot on the real table.Give it a go !It works by geometry...a snooker table is two 6ft. squares.Two snooker tables side by side are a 12ft square.

[@charlesscottkelly]

Nice too see u back. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@NoosaHeads]

Always an inspiration for dedication, application and concentration.

[@Mugairyuiai]

Great system, thanks Cliff, Legend 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

[@GregoryMoverley]

Unique and Fantastic System Cliff !

[@valramsingh8360]

Hi, Cliff, we of course have never met, but I'm an old Southwestern Ontario boy, I used to play with a native man, who claimed he play you several times, he was an Ontario ranked player, David Beeswax, his name, anyway liked the video, take care Sir, and good luck 👍

[@swinnysis]

I use to sit and watch you at jubilee 24 hr billiards in Burnaby Canada. I loved watching you play and learning the game from you koodos to you cliff

[@stevenlau7660]

[@JonMcKenzie-tz2pm]

great practical advice

[@josephveysey2724]

great stuff cliff. hope your enjoying the world championships in canada

[@crackerboy2694]

Hi Cliff, I’ve just discovered your channel and really enjoying learning and having a laugh with you too 👍 However I can’t bear that grinder music you are using - it’s obviously your prerogative, but please change it as there’s so much great music out there. Sorry to complain - your channel is top notch 😊 🍻

[@mabbrey]

great stuff cliff

[@Andyc18]

The grinder! Legend.

[@noshadraja5546]

Great sir 👍

[@garysaulnier1223]

Miss your visits, at the Cambridge Pro-Am Snooker tournaments, as we all miss the Tournament since the last time you and all were there. Roy Mason believes we will never see the tournament back in Cambridge post-COVID-19, again! What are your thoughts on his predictions & why? Enjoy your tutorials, thank you, and happy retirement.

[@Mental-Walk]

Thank you sir.

[@self-preservationsociety7057]

“ I said green ball ! “ And we all heard it too !!

[@pauldixon1766]

And get ya own bloody extension Alex !

[@jimdavis762]

Looks good for 76 yrs old

[@ngsaichin1]

Good video, Cliff, can you show us how to aim this shot when object ball is NOT frozen on the rail? In pool we use mid-point parallel shift system. I tried your method, it did not work out, especially when the cue ball and object ball are ON THE SAME vertical distance from the bottom long rail.

[@bobsnooker.3950]

This is a super instruction can you do one on two cushion get outs.

[@xetan1]

Hi Cliff, thanks for the tutorial. By the way, how to make two cushion and there cushion escape? There are many systems in pool, do they work in snooker?

[@nicholasperry-mason4640]

Good player

[@zbigniewczaykowski514]

It is worth mentioning again that any markers such as the chalk or any other objects left on the rail or table surface as markers are not allowed, this includes making marks with the chalk, which a referee in a pro game would call a foul for. However if there are marks there from previous play you can sometimes use these as a reference visually and that is ok.

Cliffs Snukka world

[@lanternman13]

Can you tell a bit about your old and legendary cue? Thanks.

[@swinnysis]

I still have one of cliffs promo cues

[@bartonbank2531]

What about when the object ball is in the middle of the table ?

[@rhombus-l5w]

Hi Cliff, Where did you film this video?

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Surely this system only works if the cue ball is close to 45 degrees between the baulk cushion and the cushion you're wanting to hit? If for example the cue ball had been on a line between the green pocket and black spot then the equal measurements system wouldn't work. Of course I'm not questioning a world champion, just saying that this system is good only if the white is along a particular trajectory.

[@rajakhan354]

The grinder 👍👍👍👍

[@Saad__jamil]

True Legend

[@DM-kv9kj]

What happened to the videos? You were just starting to pick up some steam!

[@stevebubbs]

My fave Canadian :D

[@leighmonk]

A handy tip, but very convoluted explanation. This should take 30 seconds to explain!!

[@HamiltonVanMan]

Cliff's a good guy. We're glad to see him on screen. When you can get some of his wisdom from between the lines, you'll know why he's worth a snooker player's time.

[@garymitchell5899]

Cliff, you were a great player, but, please, enjoy time with your family now.

[@MrMalbaghdady]

🙏🙏🌷🌺🎉🌸

[@nuntana2]

Nice one. Gotta be worth listening to the former world number one. Still a handsome dude, too; just look at all that hair! 🙂

[@zombywoof801]

A very informative presentation. But your opening and closing music sucks the big time, very irritating. Looking forward to future posts.

[@terrythomas4407]

Great video...please forgive me but the song just about stopped me cold.

[@nickedmondson1583]

Cliff's piss take of Bad Snooker Made Easier reminds me of Leslie Neilson's Bad Golf Made Easier.. was funny to watch but of course was filmed silly like this with absolute pointless or needless advise that just made you enjoy playing bad.. I get it.. its not for the good players its for the poor players to enjoy it... these vid's just crack me up

[@caiby48]

Skills is an enjoyment, win attributes to destiny and destiny can be improved. For instance, at the age of 90, you could not played as good as 30, thus it is not reality , reality cannot be subjected to age

[@ElemennoP]

cud hit the cushion in loads of places with side, it depends on where you want object and cue balls to go..🤷‍♂️.. btw that chalk costs fortunes..🥺😂

[@damianleah6744]

Equilateral triangle

[@stevesas632]

😅 that is obviously the simplest one cushion escape you can get.
