Every time before I go playing snooker, I watch your videos. I love them :D Greetings from Salzburg, Austria.

[@Mikepower1978]

Such an international game isn't it? To me it has the international ability of football. Of course it will always be less patriated. But still I think the same completely universal appeal, free of culture. I'm a developing English pool player from NZ. We had a brilliant player way back called Clark McConachy. He twice played World snooker finals and held the world billiards title for about forever. Good luck to you mate.

Wow I train a lot now With hard work and many shots and snookers I see these shots and tricks. Nice work and continue making such great videos

Always wanted to learn the shot no.2 but didnt knew the name of the trick . Thanks from Iasi , Romania :D

[@pfunk_1535]

I'm from Sonoma, California. I'm lucky to have a snooker table at my local pool hall, the owner just really likes the game so he has a single table near the back of the space. I have a feeling the pockets are a bit too tight, and it isn't exactly balanced, but it's still a fun game.

[@jimbrennan7452]

I'm in Lincoln, Nebraska USA and our pool hall finally got a snooker table (Olhausen Brand) and it was poorly installed where the pockets are a bit tight for down the rail shots to the corner. It is a 5 X 10, only know of one 6 X 12 in the midwest.

[@pfunk_1535]

I actually live in Minnesota, just put down my hometown for the potential map pin. My table, under further inspection, is also very slightly off balance. From the top side of the table, it tilts the balls to the right. I’ve actually used that fact to confuse my opponents in the past. I suppose the amount of tables in the Midwest you are aware of is now 2.

[@jimbrennan7452]

I’m not sure but it’s starting to pick up

[@crazyrichdolls3860]

Thanks for good videos. When doing cocked hat double i was taught to use enough top spin in attempt to make the cue ball tight to the top cushion, the double should be a shot to nothing.

[@Breakfromlife]

The trouble I find is the object ball seems to find its way over a pocket if it misses

[@crazyrichdolls3860]

@@Breakfromlife I see what you're saying, I guess its more like an exhibition kinda shot.

[@zacharyharris754]

This is honestly amazing

[@Mikepower1978]

Snooker is fascinating. For instance I believe I heard Mr break from life say he can hit the odd century in one of his recent videos. He was working on His club game. To me, a developing English pool player and avid snooker fan, His skills are incredible. And they portray just how deep and incredibly delicate I'd fine these skills are at the top level. Mr break from life is mind blowingly good and deep in his understanding of the game. Imagine then the step to say the top 16 or 30 players on the world circuit. It's very humbling.

[@Breakfromlife]

I regularly play against players who are close to becoming pro. If I can win 3 or more frames out of 10 I’m usually fairly happy. If I play against a professional player it’s more like 1 frame in 20. And that’s not even top 32 level

[@GoharGraphics]

Placing cue on table near to bottom of cue ball was fantastic and innovative shot .now i will Never miss a slower shot ever. I need a PIN on map too ...!! Greetings from mian channu, Pakistan ✌

[@nilanjan1920]

There are examples of holding the rest and not resting it on the table while playing the shot. Sullivan played it during the 2017 edition of European Open and recently Gary Wilson also pulled it off at the crucible. It always makes me wonder how do they keep the rest absolutely still when I tried to play this shot I did make the pot but my rest certainly had a distinct wobble to it.

[@cameronhannan2407]

I'm from a small town in Lancashire called Accrington please put it in your next video pleassseeee

[@paulriggall8370]

Cracking video. I especially liked the billiards shot! Do you play much billiards?

[@Breakfromlife]

No but I do know 3 ridiculously good billiards players. Who explained to me how to play the game. I can’t do it but they have given me a rough understanding

[@laurensvanaer7893]

[@sundu21]

Akani did that delicate touch once

[@Breakfromlife]

I thought he did but couldn’t find a video of it. Someone said Cao yupeng played the shot and there was a video of him playing it in the 2017 Scottish open

[@lucas29476]

Break from life, can you please give a physical explanation of the effect of nap on slow side spin shots? I’ve also asked the question in the r/snooker subreddit. Thank you!

[@reverseside7387]

For me.... I liken it to kicking a football, so I remember what the cueball will do going towards baulk against the nap. Hit the football across it's face to the right will send it swerving to the left. I imagine the fibres of the nap facing towards me like the wind. The slower you stroke the ball on the baize, the more obvious it is.... Works for *me* 😉😊

[@kyle8898]

[@Theodore1999]

talk about mark william, will you do a video to cover some weird shot technic, like his under arm shot, sunny akani rest shot etc. also, will you do another video to try out some great shot from WSC after the tournament, i remembered you did it last time after the Master and i quite enjoyed it

I’m planning to. Will have to be in a couple of weeks time though. Just hoping that someone makes a shot of the championship video. But if not I’m sure I’ll find something on KZbin

[@jamierice9211]

I have a question, I'm mainly a pool player, in aus we don't have much snooker. I love snooker and play it when I can. I'm an okay pool player and can generate heaps of top and back in pool, but with the snooker balls I struggle to get any kind of spin. Any thoughts on why that might be and how to generate better spin on a snooker ball rather than a pool ball.

[@Breakfromlife]

I’m not sure really will think about it. Are you using the same cue?

I think the jump shot is illegal in snooker when done intentionally

[@Breakfromlife]

There’s no way of telling what is or isn’t intentional. But you can certainly only jump a ball after another has legally been struck

[@vanderszpak]

This is priceless

[@darthgorthaur258]

The jumping the cue ball shots arnt "not" known about its the fact they are illegal shots the white ball isn't allowed to leave more than the height of the ball off the bed of the table otherwise it's nota valid shot hence why you never see pros jumping balls.

Most of this shots player try to avoid in a serious games because it's risky.

[@Breakfromlife]

Absolutely but sometimes you have few alternatives

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

I believe the jump shot over the ball would be a foul shot

[@hxduck]

It's only a foul if the white jumps over the object ball without touching it. The white can hit a red and then jump over other reds or hit a colour and jump over other balls.

[@Breakfromlife]

That’s right although it’s still a foul if you jump over an object ball when you do strike it. Unless it comes into contact with a cushion or another ball first
