These more advanced videos are much more your and my speed. Great stuff.

[@tonymarshall4164]

Great video Steve, the pots to the middle pocket can be difficult but you make it look so easy...I will practice those.

[@amirnor9880]

Another perfect lesson! These are all real situations we experienced them many times but not thought about how to play them. MANY THANKS 👍👍👍

[@WHAT-gm1xm]

Best snooker teacher

[@v.n.s7233]

You are 0ne of the bestest coach.........❤❤❤

[@arthurmullard2788]

Yet another superb video Steve!!! Well done mate and thanks.

[@leesalter2795]

Fantastic video. I've found popping a bit of side on those reds down the cushion helps to pot it more reliably.

[@chrismcbean3141]

Thanks for the video, can you do a video on playing the cue ball when it touching the cushion, sure I’m not the only one that struggles with this shot

[@vir72l]

THANKS for this, shame you're not in Australia cause I would definitely take a few lessons from you Steve!

[@adrianmoore5238]

Superb information Wish I had access to this in the 80’s!

[@Zaheer2217]

As always very informative thanks buddy ❤️

[@michaelwallace7905]

These videos are great, I’m potting a lot more balls after watching the ghost ball video

[@mijtec]

Excellent video 👏

[@rashadal-safar1931]

Such quality tutelage :) Would love a one-on-one coaching session if you're ever in Dubai :)

[@tarcisiolopescoach8994]

Thanks. Fantastic. I like it.

[@leesalter2795]

I ALWAYS end up hitting the far jaw on those middle pocket shots!

[@davidmcgowan8388]

Cheers Steve been away from a table for over 3 weeks, holiday but no tables where I was, went over a few old videos and although a slow start very close to back to something like, this video has reminded me of a few others areas for tonight before a match tomorrow, keep them coming mate, reminders and reinforcing good habits is not a bad thing 👍

[@samimerslmiz5503]

Enjoying your videos, very helpful 👍from Morocco 👏

[@onnyt60]

Great advice and even though I never saw a snooker table or played on one. Your lessons helped me out to become a better 10-ball player.

[@Delphiwizard]

We had really bad news coming from England today but this video is a ray of light, great as always, much appreciated.

[@user-ek1ec1wd6r]

Thanks. Fantastic

[@shanmahi2851]

Wonderful as usual Steve.. Can you make a video on playing double,back doubles... Because very often we are in such situation to go for it.

[@bullsnutsoz]

Again most timely Steve: thanks

[@fractal_mind562]

6:40 that doesnt even come close to going in on my local table !

[@messageforworld869]

Very useful and helpful video even I am potting 50+ regularly

[@bartoszpustu7939]

What I like to do on the close shots is to look directly from above the red and imagine the cue ball in 2D on the surface of the table, if you know what I mean. This helps me a bit to better visualize the ghost ball. Of course that is not possible if the red ball is in the middle of the table. Thanks for another great video. Happy to share that I improved my PB up to 42 this week, your videos playing an important part of my progress :)

[@PartTimeBlues]

Thanks, always good, thoughtful, useful! I have noticed there's not video from any KZbin snooker coaching that integrates or mention Breathing. I would of thought it integral... maybe even part of psr. Is it irrelevant to playing other than the obvious remember to 'breathe'? Or is there something to apply in conjunction with techniques? It seems to belong... Eg breathe in on backswing, or at certain points in the psr Thanks again. Jason M ... Utah, USA

[@markgilmore2077]

Great idea for a vid Steve. I love the bit about giving your brain more information. More 'real life' vids like this please because every time I play I ALWAYS get dozens of nasty little situations just like these.

[@BartonSnooker]

Hi Mark, Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear the video was helpful. Hope everything is all good with you.

[@wendywhales2310]

Hi Steve. The shot that seems to need great care,,is the ball weather 1 ball off the cushion,,Black end of the table,,,Two angles required, 1 to get it along the cushion and 1 angle to get it into the corner, only about 3ft or so ,but great care is needed on such a minuscule angle..

[@BartonSnooker]

Yes, that's right. Do you mean reds below the black spot?

[@wendywhales2310]

No,, Along the cushion top rail. 1 or 1.5 ball widths off the Black Rail, Be it Red or Blacl,,2 angles involved, Across and and second angle Towards the black pockets. Very tricky stuff in my opinion. Lol.

[@BartonSnooker]

@@wendywhales2310 it sure is, yeah. Horrible little Shots 😁

[@mehranaslam375]

As always sir ❤️

[@sealewy7905]

Nice ❤

[@TheSilverBullet.]

How is this guy not a world champ?

[@sj460162]

Another nice video. Im stuck on this "Play from the elbow" thing that Ronnie keeps on about. Ive heard lots of people say lots of different things. Please help me to understand this aspect of the game Steve.

[@mr.changlam1535]

how to increase my cue power so i can hit bhanana shot easily..will u plz help me on this..

[@michaellane3419]

Hi Steve, tanks to you I'm a much improved player. I'm just wondering what type tip you would recommend or what tip you use.

[@BartonSnooker]

Hi Michael, I use a 9.7mm tip. And the tip I use is Elk Master Pro Soft.

[@michaellane3419]

Thanks Steve.

[@ryanstockley9495]

How do u play shots with the cue ball right on the cushion?

[@mr.changlam1535]

when the red ball or colour in cusion always play with sides..coz it helps ur ball to flow..you can play plain also..but most of the times it missed...with sides 100% chances without side 70%..so it's better to go with 100%

[@abdullahkashif6708]

How could I improve If I keep playing I miss If I play after a week I play better

[@mickieb74]

My nemesis... The dreaded "Bridge shot" 👎😢 I used to be ok with it until I had an accident at work and lost the end of my middle finger, I'm hopeless at bridging now and just say to my opponent "You may as well put the foul points on now" Lol 😂😂😂

[@asadhussain5267]

The first shot I see players sometimes raise the butt of the cue can you please do a video with shots played with raised butt please

[@m1xxx3r]

to me definitely most awkward type of shot is when object and cue ball are almost touching, i feel my aim then is more like coin flip rather than trained method
