    I'm from the U.S. and have been studying very hard for two years learning "American" pocket pool, 8 and 9 ball. There are one or two folks here on YTube that I have learned lots from (Dr. Dave, Tor Lowry and Sharivari) but I swear I learn many of the most important things from the likes of you and Barry Stark. You two are wonderful! Thank you so much. I've only been playing two years and I have quickly come to believe that I should move to Britain and take up Snooker instead! Psycholgically and socially I would fit in much better with the snooker crowd!

    One of the better videos out there on snooker. Massively helpful and true to every bit. Specially the last point. I was one of those who believed long pots to be the one which needed to be hit hard only to realise how wrong I was. I wish I had seen something like this earlier in my life. I would have been much better of a player but kudos to you. This video is undoubtedly helpful and I would recommend it to beginners. This would definitely save years of grinding and hard work. Trust me. :)

    I've recently started my journey with snooker and just found this video. You're totally on point with the aspect of not hitting balls too hard. During my first time of being behind the snooker table, I was surprised of how little power you actually need to pot a ball. I was sure that due to the huge size of the table, you need to take power shots all the time!

      Yes, anywhere from 9" to 12" I would recommend. 9" may be a bit short for some players, but we want it compact enough, without restricting the backswing.

  • @malapetakadunia
    @malapetakadunia 5 лет назад +1

    Hi there! Can you describe briefly about mark allen's cue action? Because i find my self potting better by copying mark's short cue action.

    • @BartonSnooker
      @BartonSnooker  5 лет назад +1

      Hello,
      It's always a balance between being short and compact so that there is less room for things to go wrong.... Against, not being far away enough from the cue-ball which allows a nice smooth cue action.
      Most of the top players don't play like Mark Allen, he's quite unusual.
      Ronnie, Selby, Judd, Robertson, Ding all have standard bridge lengths of around 10" to 11.5".
      Remember that Mark Allen has MUCH faster tables than we do to play on, so it is much easier for him to move the white around even though he's using a 'short' cue action.
      In snooker we don't only have to pot the ball, we must then position the cue-ball for our next shot. This is why most professionals use a smooth longer backswing and build up the speed gradually and in control for more accuracy.
      Mark Allen actually said himself that if he could start again, he wouldn't play the way he does now. Obviously, he's too high in the rankings to risk any changes now.

    • @BartonSnooker
      @BartonSnooker  5 лет назад

      That's right. The grip causes a lot of problems for many players. I know you already know this: but the grip is the only thing actually holding and controlling the cue, so it's very important that we get it right!

    @michaelolson6982 5 лет назад +1

    Your coaching tips are excellent and there are many more aspects of improvement to address snooker shots have a lot to do with body balance, however the key is to actually recognise the part of the game that we need to concentrate on and work on it , I love playing snooker and I personally dislike players who attempt to escape a snooker in a way that has absolutely no chance of success.

    • @castleanthrax1833
      @castleanthrax1833 Год назад

      Yes, there are certain "tricks" that the pros use, and when you know what the approach is, it makes escaping a snooker much more effective. I'm specifically talking about how they extend the line "off" the table, and envision the appropriate angle to come off the cushion.

  • @mattmurdoch4345
    @mattmurdoch4345 3 года назад

    Not sure if you have a video on it but I’ve just bought a new cue and wondered if I needed to make any adjustments to the tip at all such as reshaping? The tip is a Century pro G2 so I think it’s a half decent one

  • @90sarcadefighter5
    @90sarcadefighter5 5 лет назад

    Love the video. Regarding cueing up too close, when hampered on a cushion, is that why pro’s class them as a difficult shot? Because the hand ‘has’ to be close to the cue ball?

    • @noegojimmy
      @noegojimmy 5 лет назад

      No. It's because:
      - you only see a portion of cue ball
      -bridge arm is leaning awkwardly on table
      - precision is reduced
      -possible cue ball spin is reduced to forward and little side (trying to generate lot of side could lead to miss cuing)

    Is there any particular distance our bridge hand has to be from the cue ball???

    • @BartonSnooker
      @BartonSnooker  5 лет назад +1

      9" to 12"
      Most professionals will be anywhere from 9" to 11.5".

    I feel like with a longer bridge it creates more deflection when I land the tip on the que ball causing miss ques and not hitting the intended spot. But I'll try to lengthen mine and see. I do have problems with draw. I can follow like a champ. I usually blame the thick cloth that my table has. It's not a fast cloth table. But if I go any lower than I do the ball jumps. And not because I don't keep the stick level or I some how am scooping up on it. I just hit low and all I get is stun with maybe some draw (like 3 inches lol) and I give it plenty of follow through. Maybe not enough cause my bridge is too short? This could be the answer I was looking for.

    • @BartonSnooker
      @BartonSnooker  5 лет назад

      Hi. Maybe. It is hard to tell without seeing someone play. Your bridge length should be around 10-11 inches. See if that helps!

    Regarding bridge hand too close You should have mentioned that is sometimes done on purpose when trying to play delicate shot (trying to move cue ball 10 inches and stick it to another ball for making a snooker). Also, when you talked about standing behind a shot, that is tied with having a rhythm (people play too fast or too slow or over thinking simple position, you need to have a rhythm and stand behind every shot as you explained).
    Great video. Good job.
