This is intriguing and unique to see! I've followed Ronnie for 30 years, but in here, he looks like a young innocent student learning the trade. Even for somebody winning so many titles and being one if not the most decorated of players.
😂 that really annoys me whenever I’m watching him. It must get on his nerves at times. I have even seen muggy people shout out when I have watched him at exhibitions….
hi, how to hold the grip on line of aim? while standing should the grip hand be already on line of aim above the right leg? seems that as i am getting down and my body turns my grip hand goes offline ??? tnx
*Tell Ronnie to try keep his cue parallel with table, for example, he does strike down at an angle a lot of the time* ( In general play - not when playing off the cushions like in this video ). If he asks - say Mike told ya ............ that tip is for free Nic 😉 😜
It was mildly terrifying... I felt like I was the Prime Minister of snooker coaching - every move under a microscope and if it goes wrong my career is over!
Great to see but if I could give a bit of advice, I've noticed lately that every time Ronnie goes into the pack off the black he has always been on nothing lately. I think it's time to change the way he goes into the pack because if you notice other players like Higgins and Gilbert , they are always on something usually. That's the only part of Ronnie's game what needs tweeking I my opinion. It's just allowing his opponents to get back to the table a LOT
I can never consistently get my angles right. I find straight, head on shots the hardest. I miss simple pots and I pot shots that I have absolutely no right to be potting. Snooker makes no sense to me. I rattle alot of shots in the jaws of the corner pockets. I can never execute backspin shots on the cue ball no matter how much I try. I just wish I could start building breaks and string more than 2 or 3 pots together.
Funny I’m watching the most decorated snooker player that ever lived and probably ever will live taking lessons from a guy most of us don’t even know and if he were to day he won’t make half the papers. But yea Ronnie is there “learning” 😊. Good pupil.
I coach sometimes people and I'm good at snooker (137 highest break when training) but with Ronnie I would keep my mouth closed because who knows better than the GOAT? 😅
Lots of people have coached him over the years, Without that, he wouldn't've won much. Ray Reardon possibly the most important? Ronnie had only won 1 world championship until he worked with him, he was behind Mark Williams, who had won 2 by then. Ronnie might be like Ales Higgins without the coaching, a great talent that never reached full potential.
@@sharpvidtube Utter nonsense. By your weird logic Hendry would have nothing then without Franks coaching. Let me remind you Hendry could not live with Ronnie. Prime Ronnie beats Prime Hendry all day and twice on Sunday. Its in there head to head as well. Ronnie O'Sullivan is the greatest player of all time GOAT 🐐
@GordonCockfield-js7gt Ronnie obviously learns, he had a poor safety game in his early career. He's now beating players with his safety game. He plays safety so much like Ray Reardon now, if you knew anything about past players.
three questions: 1.when potting the blue,did Ronnie play it plain ball? 2. if the speed is increased by 20%, is aiming compensation still needed? 2. Any reason to put the cue ball level to the red on the other side? Thank you.
I am agree with Ronnie that there is no break . It is simple physics. The momentum of cue ball is transferred to object ball. Yes the angle make difference in momentum transfer which effect the speeds. If Breaks means speed after contact with OB then it happens on every shot nothing special with this angle. ❤❤
Actually you can just put the cloth the other way round when reclothing to 'turn the table around'. (Assuming the triangle tray is not fixed at either end of table though)
@user-yp7vy3dj3o I think ronnie was being sarcastic when he said that. Ronnie always prefers his pockets as tight as they can be because he's a perfectionist, and when he plays at tournaments the pockets must look bigger to him than they do to other players.
How anyone can sit in a room with Ronnie and attempt to give him advice is beyond me. I get that he’s asking for it, but you have to have some bottle to think you’re telling him anything new.
The instructor has been working with and teaching Ronnie since he was a child, so I believe. He said he was there to congratulate him on his first century break, when he was just 10 years old. I think Ronnie is professional and humble enough to always appreciate working on his game, especially with a lifelong coach.
@@gazf6163 Thank you Gaz - actually I was a player on the pro am scene (and five years older than Ronnie) so I saw his from the age of nine... and he remains the best cueist of that age I have ever seen.

@@TheSnookerGym you're welcome and that's awesome. I wish I could of discovered snooker at a much younger age.

Thanks for the reply-best wishes
He is always fiddling with something! It was an incredible experience, though, and the 2023/24 season we spent together was super interesting - I took in all about 100 pages of notes on his game and thought processes
This was a miserable failure. You ruined the best player in the world. The best safety player of 2024 had zero safety in the world championship. And all the medium to hard pots, what you call the key pots of the game, they ALL stayed out.
Thank you for your encouragement - although I have to say it was not my fault he won 5 tournaments in that season we were working together, as I cannot take credit for the fact he lost in Sheffield.
@@TheSnookerGym I feel bad for my comment, Ronnie really deserved to have at least one triple crown year but he lost form just before the main event. I think because he felt comfortable with his game he became way too aggressive. Now in most matches his opponents have the control of the match. At least for a few months in 2023 he was the king again.
@@TheSnookerGym I rate the coaches that got them there from kids not the ones that just jumped on board after they made and sang it from rooftops. Ps a few people helped Ding in 2013/14 not just you berk/you just marketed it better .
Without saying too much- stop, just stop it. Unless you are paying lots to coach the greatest talent and best performing snooker player in the history of this sport. 😂
@@Kevtube420 Ex semi professional. You? Probably can't pot a ball. My post is wrong. Stephen Hendry is the GOAT. Then Steve Davis and Ray Reardon 🐐🐐🐐🏳️🌈

Great student of the game
Great to see even the best keep on getting some coaching lessons, always willing to learn love it.
So easy to work with
Break or no break I’m just impressed how you both kept potting blues from the cushion!
Thank you!
Fantastic clip! Thank you for the tip!
Thank you but not Four Cue!
Wow. Im honoured you share advice with me if you coach this man!!
Thank you SJ!
@@TheSnookerGym Youre very welcome
His keenness to learn the intricacies of this beautiful game proves that to become a master you need to be an excellent student as well.
I agree... he is very easy to work with
What do you mean by "breaking"? Is it the random "rolling off" or "rocking" on the nap at slow speeds?
yes how the cb drifts on the nap like a golf ball on a putting green
@@TheSnookerGymThanks a lot for the reply!
Fascinating!!
Can't wait to see more!! 🤞
Is it fascinating though?
Perhaps not!
Thanks for sharing this video .
If I were in the room I would say "Gowan Ronnneh!!!" after you asked him to play a shot
😂 that really annoys me whenever I’m watching him. It must get on his nerves at times. I have even seen muggy people shout out when I have watched him at exhibitions….
@@ronallen7051 yes so distracting and unecessary
@@ronallen7051 It would probably annoy the opponents that's for sure. Normies be normies.

Yes sir!
@@TheSnookerGym Top man 😂👍
Never heard the term break before? Is that the throw of the object ball or the line the cue ball takes after impact?
How nap breaks line of cb like a putting green breaks the ball on a slope
@@TheSnookerGym Is that what happened to Hendry's black in the 1998 masters? Should he have played it a little faster instead?
I'm assuming that break will change based on whether table has been freshly ironed Vs not Vs old clothes Vs new cloth
Correct - good point
Good point - BUT it was straight so he would have gone in off!
me: so how do I get the blue in again?
Apparently, coaching becomes easier if you have a half decent student 😉
It helps!
Are you going to be putting out some longer videos?
The shorter ones are easier but in our membership we may put longer unedited ones. www.thesnookergym.com
@@TheSnookerGym Ok cheers 👍🏼
Also stroke deceleration is possible on these soft roll shots making them more difficult. Any tips to prevent deceleration on these shots?
Shorten backswing
Woww!!! This is amazing!
Thank you
*Nic ... something I've noticed in Ronnie's recent action. Has he tried to reduce the "elbow drop" ???*
He tends to try a lot of things.... so is very changeable...
I wonder how intimidating it must be when you first start to coach the greatest player to ever pick up a cue?
A very good question - but remember that I congratulated him on making his first ton when he was ten.So I see him as a grown up kid, not a megastar...
It was mildly terrifying... I felt like I was the Prime Minister of snooker coaching - every move under a microscope and if it goes wrong my career is over!
Hey Nic, can you or anyone else in the comments explain what they mean by "break"?
The blue changing direction on the nap of the cloth when played very slowly
Oh thank you. Interesting to see someone at Ronnie's level covering something like the break of the cloth.
Is that the room Ronnie and Hendry did the Cuetips episode from?
Yes
You must unlearn what have learned!😮

What is the purpose of this drill?
To learn at what speed the cue ball breaks on the nap.... and what speed you have to hit the ball to avoid it breaking on the nap

The blue ball breaks on the nap of the cloth if hit slow enough
Imagine me teaching English to Shakespeare.

He must have got rid of the table then as per the cue tips video. Table is the other way round.
Actually you can just put the cloth the other way round when reclothing to 'turn the table around'. (Assuming the triangle tray is not fixed at either end of table though)
