Johns weight loss has also improved his game. People think snooker players don’t need to be fit and they are right but a decent level of fitness certainly helps. And maintaining a healthy weight certainly makes it easier getting down on every shot. Yes I know people are gonna be saying Stephen Lee had a rolls Royce cue action and he’s huge but could you imagine how good he’d of been if he was fit?
Interesting perspective on John Higgins' technique what with his less than average height (a problem I too had to find and use methods to overcome). Excellent series!! Peter from Montreal, Canada
I hate playing my taller friends at snooker. Seems I'm having to use the rest a lot more than them, but to be fair they all Tower over 6ft and seem to be jealous of how good I am with the rest.
He's become one of my favourite players. Such a great cue action. Similar to Steve Davis, in that they both push their cue through quite slowly. Next player - Paul Hunter. Please.
John has definitely made is action more compact over the years, which I've also tried to do. When you get it right and your timing is good it really helps but it can mean you lose speed and spin if you're not hitting the ball sweetly that day.
What u r saying is there is a fine line and a thin margin between success and failure at the top, only magnified by the microscopic analysis which you do so well.
I've been waiting for this video for such a long time. EDIT: After watching this, I am slightly disappointed that you didn't mention his swing - he always seem to swing backwards and forwards and then right before he hits the cue ball, he makes 2 or 3 very small swings before making the shots. I don't know, I just thought that's interesting, cause I've noticed only John does it. Still, 10/10 video as always, extremely interesting! Thank you for making these videos!
Yes - I was thinking the exact same. He has a very distinct way of feathering before his shot, it seems to me an important part of steadying himself/lining up
Correct and that two small feathers at the end keep his backswing consistent and it avoids jerking or pulling the cue back to fast because he does it on every single shot👍
I have been waiting for this analysis of John - nice work - and much appreciated! .... Off to look at how o hold the cue and address the ball now damnit...
I think I will widen your thumbtacks all the way to Sabah, Malaysia. Good contents Man. Btw I would Like you to cover Steve Davis on how similar the stance and technique with Ronnie. Since Ronnie's Idol is steve davis
Can you do a comparison between snooker professional player cueing and 9 ball professional cueing styles and techniques would love to see something more in depth like that. Seeing as there 2 completely different games and have different styles of play.
I remember years ago it was pointed out to me about John Higgins cueing.when he gets into his stance he brings his cue down and then he like flicks it up a tiny bit
question: Scenario: 1 pot away from snookers required and on for a 147. Tricky black or easy pink available. Is it legal for the opponent to say -"don't worry i'll concede if you miss the black"? lets you go for a maximum without having to worry about losing the frame. is that advantage given by the opponent giving you an unfair shot at a maximum and the prize?
John's style can't really be copied...he is small and compact....wouldn't work for many? But his strengths are determined and bottle!!! What 80% of you ain't!!! And boss,your fruit pastille tip needs attention? Good work again on behalf of the Corn exchange Derby
John's cue stays on his chin through final delivery because he does'nt drop his elbow....unlike Osullivan, Murphy and Selby. Trump and Robertson also keep chin to cue for the same reason

Great video, I would love to see a breakdown of Alex Higgins cue action but I got a feeling there's to much going on in that 🤣

Such a great cue action.
Similar to Steve Davis, in that they both push their cue through quite slowly.
Next player - Paul Hunter. Please.
Amazing skills 🔥🔥🔥 from Marrakech, Morocco ♥️

Thank you for your video, your new fans form Macau
Really appreciate your hardwork. Love from jammu kashmir india.🤍🎱
Great video. Luke, from Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿
Could you do a video about Gilbert's or Stephen Lee's technique? Great video as always
These videos r really helpful especially for beginner like me
What u r saying is there is a fine line and a thin margin between success and failure at the top, only magnified by the microscopic analysis which you do so well.
Great videos. Keep it up.
From Ghent in Belgium.
Good stuff mate 💯🚀🍀

Love John's wrist technique. It's solid and efficient. Love, from Singapore!

Love these videos, very interesting analysis! 👍
Just to add, have you ever seen john make a very slight stutter at his final
Pause just before he delivers the cue?

Hello I’m from Pakistan 🇵🇰 really enjoy your videos ❤️🙏🏿
Good perspective on 300k John's technique.
Awesome stuff !
Great video 🔥
I’m from Newry in Northern Ireland. Love the channel. Were you ever a pro?
What the hell kind of tip do you use 😂😂 love your videos but bloody hell that tip and ferrule look knackered
He us my second favourite snooker player after Ronnie & before Bingham!
Steve Davis has always said that John Higgins is the best ever all round match player 😊

Love from manali india 🇮🇳
Can you analyse The great Effren Reyes? Obviously not a snooker player but definitely a unique player.
Hello there this is Ismail Sathar from The place where the game of snooker was invented . The Nilgiris , India
love your videos, but what is going on with the tip of your cue! Seems there is no ferrule, and the tip is just awkwardly glued on?
It's time for a Mark Allen video ;-)
Probably
Still waiting, mate 😂@@Breakfromlife
@@martintemelkov I’m waiting until he wins something really
Hey i am from Rawalpindi Pakistan 😃
How about david Gilbert cue action
Does he hold his breath when aiming?
I remember years ago it was pointed out to me about John Higgins cueing.when he gets into his stance he brings his cue down and then he like flicks it up a tiny bit
I also notice that when in his final pullback, his elbow drops more than others and hence relaxing his backhand. can you talk a little bit to that?
Try doing Stuart Bingham, he's got the biggest wrist twist I've ever seen

Great analaysis. But your tip is weird and creepy
You forgot his feathering! 1-2-wiggle-backswing
