Snooker Skills - USING NATURAL ANGLES | Snooker Tips

[@simbasimba2029]

I definitely needed to hear this. I'm pretty sure I would have tried to play the first shot on a few of those. Thanks!

[@BartonSnooker]

Great to help. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

[@steveb3671]

Very helpful and instructive as always Steve. Looking forward to our session later this month.

[@richlaszkowicz]

What a great video...and I've subscribed ;) been dabbling on and offer for years but can never do more than 3 or 4 balls. Got a new cue coming and hoping to practice most weeks. I didn't realise the power has so much impact. Also when I hit other parts of the white ball I was always using the extreme...again small amounts make a difference. Thank for the videos keep em coming, great for us amateurs. Love the gfx too,that's the biggest help to know how you think and 'feel' 😅

[@markgilmore2077]

Not fighting the cueball is a brilliant insight. Love it. Thanks Steve. Good examples too.

[@davidmcgowan8388]

Brilliant advice as always

[@Davo-z8x]

Good tips i like the first example coming twice across from green to red to get closer to next red

[@Davo-z8x]

May of been 2nd example 😊

[@asadhussain5267]

Excellent video. You make it look easy.

[@G2RocketQ]

Ur teaching so thoughtful Barton great love from 🇳🇬 ❤

[@LIVERNIL723]

Yes, very good indeed. Makes you think 'outside the box' and not always playing for the so-called obvious positional shot. Extending means for a better positional shot and enhancing choice.

[@germainpouliot256]

Thank you for all your vidéos. Snooker is one of my retirement activities. Rather new at this game. Questions: What's are the rules: I pot the blue and a red on the same stroke, I pot the blue and the black? Best regards from Canada.

[@castleanthrax1833]

Both of those would be a foul. You must pot: red>colour>red>colour, until all reds are gone. Then (after the last red>colour) yellow>green>brown>blue>pink>black. You can pot more than one red in the same shot (although there's no advantage in doing that), but any other time, if two balls are potted, it is a foul. There are many other rules, but those are the basics in regards to potting.

[@germainpouliot256]

@@castleanthrax1833 Thank you for your response. Clarify please, do I give 4 pts or the highest value of the color implicated in the stroke ?

[@castleanthrax1833]

@germainpouliot256 For a foul? Yes, 4 points, but 5, 6, or 7 if the foul involves the blue, pink, or black.

[@123mailashish]

Grt insight. Thanks. Keep it up. U r a blessing to Snooker enthusiasts. One thing When u take the last back swing and after that u r going fr ur shot then which ball u will be seeing? Just before hitting u wil see white ball or u will be seeing red ball? Recently in one of the shorts, Stephen hendry said that he will see white ball before hitting. ROS too does that. Your answer and thought....

[@BartonSnooker]

Most players look at the object ball. Some look at the cue ball as Hendry said. Neil Robertson said he deliberately trained himself to look at the object ball, and he's one of the best long potters (and potters in general) on the planet. I think the point is, it looks like it doesn't matter 👍

good stuff!!

Thanks!

[@BartonSnooker]

As always thanks so much Eddie 👍👍

[@macfhc8634]

4:25 would you say this is like a soft drag shot? If the angle is thinner than this you will probably need to hit the cue ball a little bit lower with the same power right?

[@Randalandradenunes]

Hi there, I have been watching all your videos on snooker techniques to improve my game. I am wondering though if these techniques also applies in much smaller tables? Here in Brazil we play in small tables with very small pockets and I believe I would struggle to replicate snooker's techniques on these tables, especially on very low pace shots for snooking the opponent, which is very common.

[@mehranaslam375]

As always sir ❤

[@mr.changlam1535]

I have improve a lot by ur video..❤

[@ObsessedWithPool]

On the last example, why didn't you go for the other loose red, a bit of run-through to give an angle on the black where you could then spread open the rack?

[@BartonSnooker]

As I say in the video, I'm just giving examples of lines in the video, not playing exactly what I would have done in a frame 👍

[@SyahKucing]

How to know the angle of cue ball after hitting object ball by using stun shot spot..can you give example let say half cut ball .hit just below centre of cue ball.where will cue ball goes after hit the object ball..need some guideline or formula..rather than just imagine.tq

[@jigmethinley5576]

How do I imagine the natural angle? Where do I hit on the cue ball?

[@narcoss6778]

Your a best

[@harusbagaimanabah]

It's would be a great match between you and Ronny Sullivan.

[@shekharmishra9418]

My game has improved a lot because of you. But while playing the shot, my grip is not able to release properly. Give some tips Love from India 🇮🇳

[@nirigupta]

Am relatively new to the game. Playing for 3 years now. It took me a year or more to even get the smooth release. Used to jab a lot. Realised later that one has to get the guidance when we start. Difficult to change later.

[@calvinandakjozef]

Something I am lack of natural talent 😂

[@eduardosokem6848]

🇧🇷👍

[@NorgeTyskland]

I just hope to pot a ball and not snooker myself on the next ball 😉

[@akshayzane5656]

Bro can i change my hand from left to right..... I have been playing for a long time ... But i dont have any power in my right hand so i am deciding to change my hand .. plz plz tell me is it good or bad

[@akshayzane5656]

Plz bro

[@BartonSnooker]

What is your highest break with left hand?

[@RicStaR2410]

Decent video. BUT,,, natural angle does not include side, however little you use. That is the definition of not natural.

[@jonathanp89]

Yes, while Steves videos are very good, i agree with your point 💯 % as with side you are introducing another variable (side spin) into the shot.

[@RicStaR2410]

@@jonathanp89 his videos are great. I was only being picky. Side spin is a high level technique, not terribly hard to perform by itself, but aiming with it is tough. So making a video about natural angles may draw in beginners, but on watching the video they would realize it has the use of side spin and so isn’t for them at all. Or at least they should. You need to gain near perfect aiming with straight up and down cue ball shots before you start with side spin, otherwise you will never be able to judge the difference in aim when using side. When I started using side I became much worse before I got better. And I’m still not very good.

[@jonathanp89]

@RicStaR2410 Absolutely. I was agreeing with you.

[@clifeddens1658]

True, but the very slight of “helping” side he’s using here doesn’t have as much effect on the object ball as it does on the velocity on the white. So, you’re right in theory, but in his practice here it’s a negligible effect. Excellent observation though.
