Loved this tutorial. The head cam worked perfectly. I'm 76 yrs. old and love playing snooker. I thought I was pretty good until I saw this. I have the greatest respect for you sir.
If you do give it a go, do it right from day 1. Watch some beginner stuff by Barry. If you play it once, chances are you'll be hooked straight away. But it's a struggle to get going if you do things wrong from day 1. You'll pick up bad habits.

GloriousTapeworm ...also check out "meetup". It's a website of things happening in, or near where you live. I have four snooker clubs near me so you may find one on there. 🙂
Sir, this is another excellent video!!!! No, you don't look silly with the head cam at all. This was a wonderful break, mostly because we could see WHERE YOU HIT THE CUE BALL!!! Fantastic knowledge for all of us (amateurs). Thank you Sir for sharing your tremendous experience and knowledge with us!!!! Keep up the good work, greetings from Greece and congratulations to Kyren for winning the 6 red snooker tournament!!!!!
George. Thanks for the congratulations to Kyren, he did play well didn't he. The head cam kept slipping a little which resulted in me rushing a couple of shots, we need to make some adjustment to the fixing.
It’s amazing how I have been looking at the wrong point of the object ball as I pot. Since I watched this video my wins have increased tremendously! Thank you so much.
A year on and i still cannot believe how good this gentleman is. I don't care what level you play at a 116 break is absolutely excellent. I'd say Barry made a few 147's in his day, a joy and a pleasure to watch and may you continue for many a year to come. I salute you sir 🤝💯🔥
Barry Stark Snooker Coach, as admittedly a novice, I find your videos a great help. However I'm yet to work out side spin, can't quite seem to get it right! More practice required of course. Stay safe and healthy in these uncertain times Barry, all the best.
Wow sir what a clearance .. 1 request if u can wear headcam in upcoming videos that will be great. I have learned so many things in this video.. Keep it up sir.. Huge fan from India..
Hi Coach....you made that look so easy. Loved this video especially with the headcam as it shows perfectly how you are hitting the cue ball. This helps us a real lot. You are on another level when it comes to coaching and no wonder why Kyren is doing so great on the tour as he has you by his side. Looking forward to your next video....and by the way, I wish I have at least 20% of your ability to read the game the way you do and play the simple shots without any fancy stuff!! Thank You
hi barry.... just wanted to congratulate you on kyren's recent success hopefully many more titles to come for him he is really a lucky guy to have a coach like you
Great teaching lesson! The head cam perspective along with the commentary helps me to understand the results of striking the cue more effectively. Thanks
As a beginner I found the head cam a brilliant aid. The hardest part for a beginner is working out where to deliver the cue ball for anything other than a straight pot. Techniques like the Ghost Ball, invisibly splitting the object ball into halves, quarters eighths etc. is fine but you don't often get to see exactly how much overlap is needed by the cue ball on the object ball to make the pot. The head cam gives the best view I've seen.
A great demonstration of a difficult game made to look easy.I very much enjoyed this and appreciated the effortlessness in how Barry gets action on the cue ball.
@@BarryStarkSnookerCoach Thanks again.Very kind of you to reply.It must be a lack of follow through,i feel(if you pardon the expression!),as for me to approach the level of ease demonstrated by yourself tends to require more force,with the danger of sacrificing accuracy.
The power of suggestion and focus. I watched snooker for the first time (really focused and watched) 3 nights ago. The next day, I go in to play 8 ball during my normal practice routine at around late morning. Without so much as practicing or touching a cue since watching 2 hours of snooker videos, I was unstoppable. I could not miss to save my life. The normal practice buddies asked me wth did I change from yesterday morning. I simply watched tons of snooker videos and emulated the focus that I watched. I went from being able to run out 1 rack out of three to 3 out of 4. Wish I could play snooker at some point.
The snookerist we miss your video man you really should to comeback,i think you are just busy without life and stuff but you need to comback to the circuit again
Majid. All the balls were in an open position and all it needed was to keep reasonable control of the cue ball, the purpose of the video was to show what can be achieved by mainly using plain ball striking, i.e. no side.
Barry Stark Snooker Coach also, I should clarify that I’ve been working on a 12 ft table here in the US and that I feel like I have a natural ability so it wouldn’t be a boring video haha 😁 and it would be so humbling to have you pass on some invaluable knowledge 🤗
Snooker is an amazing game. Loads of skill involved. Professional players (and coaches) make it look so easy but trust me it isn't. I miss playing it so much. No Snooker clubs anywhere near me :(
they should have tilted it back slightly to the left in post, so it was near enough horizontal... that's the beauty of filming in 4k, as you would have to enlarge it ever so slightly.
How beautiful. Lots of "teachers" can't walk the walk. This was wonderful proof this man can do both. I really learned how very close to center ball on the shots with side are. I realized that I am getting way to far off center ball on those shots. Thanks, Barry.
Great video. Love seeing the head cam. Gives a real perspective on the potting angles and cue ball striking! I’ve learned a lot watching your videos Barry. Thank you for taking such time and care in your instruction
Barry - next video, re-enactment of Hi-End video of your blue shot. Needs to be done! Enjoy your rest time and hope you get your stuff sorted. Take care and best of luck to Kyren for Shanghai.
What an education, plain and simple doing the basics right, almost effortless. This video has made me realize, I often try to be too fancy and do too much, when less will do. Kinda brings you down to earth. 🙈🙈 Thanx a mill, at this stage of my game, I needed to see this 👍👍
Paul. We all like to do the odd exhibition shot, they give a great feeling. However given the choice of control or power I will choose control every time. Well done and good luck with your game.
exactly what im guilty of ...on any single difficult or ridiculous power shot id fancy myself against anyone i can screw and arc the ball easily ....what i cant do is plain ball gently a 116 break as easy as breathing like Barry ...im a flair player and im always trying to manipulate the cue ball and this shows there is no need
Great video, I just love head camera videos because it gives you the same perspective we have when we actually play the game. It's a nice feeling when I see the same shots you're going to play and also tell whether the aiming is correct or not. I think I need to bring some calmness into my game as well. I often like to play quick snooker like Ronnie, Trump or Lisowski and it works great when I'm in the groove. But when I'm a bit rusty I often tend to miss easy balls purely because of carelessness and hastiness when I'm lining up the shot. The fact is that if you take your time and focus hard on getting the cue exactly where you want then you won't miss if your technique is solid. Keep up the great work Barry!
Hi Barry, at 14:45 you seem to put your bridge on the cushion but from the headcam perspective it seems your bridge is on the table, some creative editing here or am I seeing it wrong?
This is Barry’s friend answering here as I do the editing. I hold my hands up if there is a bad continuity edit between the two shots which I hadn’t noticed. A short passage of time may have been deleted whilst Barry was forming his bridge. Apologies.
If you look in between Barry's wristwatch strap and just before the angle of the shirt cuff on the left hand side you can vaguely see the line of the cushion, which with the angle of Barry's hand suggest he's not on the table but in fact bridging on the cushion.
Sean Ditch while yes you are right, he is cueing on the cushion not on the table like I said, his bridge has changed, first he’s playing the shot with a closed looped bridge over the cue but from the headcam he’s using a normal open bridge
@@ciarancooling3014 small changes happen in split seconds. Its an awkward bridge. I can't get my head around trying to bridge on a cushion..;-)) drives me mad trying to figure out where my hand should be...🤣
Thanks very much for the video. I have a very bad time at the moment with my angles and learnt a few things from your head cam. I also successfully re-tipped my cue last month from one of your videos, so thanks again!
@@foddyfoddy Go watch Ronnie play pool in the US and get beaten by both amateurs and professionals. The two games are different, both in tactics and skills. A pool table and balls offer 9 different game types as well, as opposed to snooker being only one. Selby says it himself, so does Barry in one of his tutorials. Using terms like inferior or superior just makes you sound ignorant and disrespectful. It's like expecting Federer to make fun of table tennis.
Marc. Thanks for that but if you follow the videos and practise a lot, trying to do the right things, there is no reason why you cannot catch up. Good luck.
The best snooker coach I have ever seen in my life..So much of knowledge and perfection out there..You are an encyclopedia of snooker. I keep watching almost all of your videos and try to improve my game..Such a nice platform you have created Barry to unlock the best techniques of this game..Hats off to you and God Bless..love from India 🙏🏻
This was great! Thank you so much for all of these videos. I hope you realize how much you are contributing to the game. I myself was a pool player but now I can't see myself without snooker! Thanks Sir!
For your age sir this is excellent. If I could make a casual 100+ break like that I wouldn't need to watch your videos, but even when I do get to that level I will always watch you.
Barry Sir, this video was a joy to watch. I have just started playing snooker and these tips were exactly what I was looking for. Keep doing what you do Sir!! Thanks for the tips, will definitely implement while playing!!
Great to see the simplistic but very effective way you manovoure the cueball around the table with minimal fuss .....a fine break sir, and great to see your excellent coaching video on cueball control and breakbuilding ....thanks
Chris. The game is very difficult and the best way to make it as easy as possible is to learn to control that little white ball, I believe that is why Ronnie is so good, his white ball positioning is better than most.
I agree about O' Sullivan, I've seen many great players play Hendry, Reardon, Steve Davis, Alex Higgins Jimmy White and others...but I regard O' Sullivan as the Greatest I've seen, it's how quick he prosesses the shot and his fluidity of play....and who can forget that a incredible 147 break at the 1997 world championships in only 5 minutes 20seconds....phenomenal
Liam. The balls where in the open and in fairly easy potting positions, but the real object of the video was to show what is possible with mainly plain ball shots.
Had to laugh when Barry popped up with the headcam. You're a good guy Barry and you work your ass off. Good for you. Big fan from your mother's native Cork.
Love these videos. Very helpful. My game has improved massively. I was hitting the ball instead of pushing through the ball and hitting it far too hard.
Orit. Part of the purpose of the channel is to create, or in some cases re-create an interest in the game and hopefully encourage people to play, I really do hope you start to play again and good luck with it.

Love these videos. Very helpful. My game has improved massively. I was hitting the ball instead of pushing through the ball and hitting it far too hard.

How enjoyable to watch this Master! Thank you very much!
Fotan. My pleasure, many thanks.
Nice clearance. Was a pleasure meeting you at bangkok recently & congratulations!
Great video, very interesting to see how a clearance is made without any fancy shots. Lots of experience necessary, I ‘m sure.
Barry must be almost 80. This is a remarkable demonstration. Just goes to show.
Politio. Not there yet but getting close.

What a fantastic coach! I used to play a bit - thinking to start again after this!
Orit. Part of the purpose of the channel is to create, or in some cases re-create an interest in the game and hopefully encourage people to play, I really do hope you start to play again and good luck with it.
Absolutely brilliant Barry!
