This Snooker Lesson Made Me Believe I Can Be the Best in the World!

[@DavidSandersmusic]

Alex Higgins clearance in the 1982 semi final. Hands down. Talk about pressure. Crazy

[@IestynDavies-cx8je]

Favourite moment of all time.. Alex Higgins used his cue extension to extend the rest...played the shot ...went to take it offunscrewing it...could make budge ...gave up ...went to Steve James and ask to borrow his cue extension. James gave him it ...his face as Higgins used it was a picture! Higgins wasn't gentle with it... Hilarious!

[@HOWHARDTV]

Great memories Lestyn 👌 are you also a big fan of snooker?

[@crowy523]

Favourite snooker moment has to be ronnies black in the middle pocket from the green spot, played at great pace under great pressure, 5-5 and had to clear the table to win the frame, pure break building and pitting perfection

[@karlhunt7107]

Great video. Favourite snooker moment was Ronnie stopping the game after one red and black to ask about the maximum break prize on offer. Then going on to get the 147, with a bit of encouragement from the ref, with Ronnie initially not wanting to complete the break with only the black remaining.

[@HOWHARDTV]

😂😂

[@GregBish]

Great vid, favourite snooker moment to watch has to be Ronnie’s speediest televised 147! Such an amazing feat!

[@mikemck4796]

A trick to help stepping into the shot is laying the cue on the rail in the line of your shot, and then take the final step in and get down. So your forming your body around the proper cue line.

[@shunkadee1299]

My favourite moment was during a match with Michaela Tabb refereeing and the late great Terry Griffiths on commentary. The player went off the blue into the pack and as Michaela was leaning over the table to respot the blue Griff on commentary says "Aaaaw! Beautiful split!". I shouted out "Wahay" and laughed my head off. (Yes, I know, I am a very vulgar and childish man but this is a true story 😊)

[@reviewswithhughes]

lovely video always nice to see different peoples approach to coating favourite early snooker memory Jimmy White's maximum break from the 1992 World Championship

[@longlivefreedom9853]

It is paramount to have the right snooker cue . Finding that cue drastically helps you pot and enjoy the experience !. It is crucial !.. Finding that cue is not easy....... Absolute crucial

[@HOWHARDTV]

It’s a video I will be doing in the near future

[@michaeltempestoso6185]

Fantastic video! Favourite memory is Mark Selby potting the final black in the middle pocket for a 147 in the semi final of the 2013 UK championship, first and only ever snooker match I’ve been to Favourite personal memory was getting a break of 34 a few weeks ago

[@maxnichols1015]

The best snooker moment for me has got to be Gary Wilson snookering Judd Trump, cue ball behind the black and yellow behind the brown, at the World Championships in May 2019. I haven't watched many matches, but I always remember that shot. The next day, I picked up a cue for the first time and went down to the snooker club.

[@HOWHARDTV]

I’ll take a look at this as I’m not sure I’ve seen it

[@nikleung7622]

Favourite moment, Cliff Thorburn taking a break during his way to the magic 147 !

[@stevesaeki532]

favourite moment is a streaker appeared in a match between ronnie and steve

[@garyjones385]

Fav moment was Alex H potting that blue and screwed off side cushion back to red, including the full break

[@madaboutsnooker147]

Your stanse was better at 3m 8s than after he started tweakin.... this is the route to most problems in getting coached, if it aint "too broke", don't fix it. You potted, and found your line, but then got coached and didnt really pot that well at first. Very common until getting used to the changes, but stand by my statement that your original posture wasnt bad. Main thing about this game is finding the line, staying on it. and NOT moving side to side or up and down when stroking. If you can master that and start seeing the lines, you could be fairly good :) Edit* one lesson ruins it, 2 lessons you start to see the point, 3 lessons, you start to see positive changes. Etc etc. So changes in cueaction takes time to get used to. Snooker is the finest margins when adjusting. Love the channel, subbed :)

[@FERO1907]

Fav moment alex higgins potting the black with one hand 🎱

[@theznooker]

at 8:45 when he says put the butt of the cue on your hip you put it wrong ( this is how i do it and it is very important for me to know where he asked you to put ) then you correct it after seeing him, but i cannot see him, please make another short video or share a picture where exactly he asked you to put the butt of the cue on the hip to line up. i cannot line up properly thank you, waiting.......

[@richcawdron]

My favourite was the rise of Mark Selby around 2006/7. Me and my uni mate loved his style being so hard to beat

We're at the same level, I didn't know you was doing other things when I was watching, i thought it was just snooker. This game is so hard. I've started a channel to document my journey. It's not as polished as your video, this is very professional

I'm wrong. The more I watch, you're at the standard I was 3 months ago 😂

[@HOWHARDTV]

[@nitekram]

Anytime Ronnie asks what he wins if 147, and if it is not enough, he does not even try - great moment for me

[@Dob203]

Ronnies deep screw against ding left handed 👌👌

[@KevinBanh-ds2xr]

the best snooker moment is the match between Ronnie and Ding when Ronnie had to play a red into the green pocket and screw back down for the black in order to carry on his break for 147

[@HOWHARDTV]

He truly is a freak of nature

[@jpseamer]

My favourite moment is Ronnie asking what the prize for a 147 was after potting one red and one black, proceeding to make the 147 having shaken hands with Mark King before potting the final black

Hi, For a relative beginner you have a good natural setup.

[@HOWHARDTV]

Thank you very much

[@petewright6408]

Favourite snooker moment, weirdly is ronnie walking out against Henry. We’ve all felt like that at one point 😂 In all seriousness - it’s dings fluke on the yellow on a 147, brilliantly hilarious moment that could only ever happen in snooker 👌

[@wayneanthonyholmes4437]

Favourite snooker moment was when 28YO Hendry spat his dummy and was WHITEWASHED 9-0 by Marcus Campbell in 1998 MARCUS CAMPBELL 😂

[@AbdullahIbrahimHassan]

@petewright My fav moment was Ronnie slaughtered Hendry 17-4 & 17-6 @ WSC SF 2004/8 👍 And its very funny that Hendry fans boys always talk the 4-1 walk out and the 2002 match where Hendry won 17-13

[@AbdullahIbrahimHassan]

​@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 And Hendry has never beaten Ronnie at a UKC Final. Ronnie beat Hendry in the 1993 UKC & 1997 UKC final. But they go and and on about the 2006 UKC walkout to big up their hero 😁Ronnie leads Hendry & Higgins head to head and in finals. He made them 2 his fannies. Those who laugh last laugh best 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤭😂 When you tell them that, they reply with the usual BS. 😁😁 Hendry was past his best, Hendry got yips, and Hendry lost his cue. All utter garbage! Fact of the matter Hendry couldn't handle the high rising standards and the emerging new talent. Why he was washed up 30 😄👌

[@petewright6408]

@@AbdullahIbrahimHassan lol I’m not a Hendry fan boy at all. Like most of us I hated him in the 90s I thought he was boring until his KZbin channel. Ronnie has always been one of my favourite players to watch I was just making a joke about how we’ve all felt in a match that was all 🤣 It was just a joke not to be taken seriously, didn’t mean to touch a nerve 😘🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@anthonyjones3735]

Snooker is upside down darts

[@MrXeberdee]

Once you dialed in the place you want to hit the white, do your cue action, ignore the white and watch the object ball. See what happens, make changes. Most people are making changes as they hit the white, and you have to avoid that. Repeat x 1.000.000 and you will be good 😊

[@Jake-Warwick-147]

My favourite snooker moment was watching Judd Trump power his was through the field at the World Championships in 2011 playing lights out snooker and narrowly missing out to John Higgins.
