I am now retired and living in Bacolod Philippines. When young I played a lot of pool and played well, but not a champion. About 5 years ago I decided to start playing again. I lost a lot of my vision in my dominant right eye which made me give up pool until about a year ago. I decided to see if I could make the necessary adjustments to change over to the left eye. After a lot of trial and error and searching on-line for help I came across your videos. Your videos on alignment have been the key for me to start playing maybe even better than when I was Young. Thank you very much for your videos
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD! This video perfectly describes the main issue I have when I am playing poorly. My stance is not in line with the shot, specifically my right foot (I am right handed) is too far to the RIGHT of the shooting line. It feels totally normal for me to stand this way. I aligned this way for over 40 years. But in the last year-and-a-half I have changed my stance to walk into the shot while putting the ball of my right foot on the shooting line. When I consistently do this I shoot really really well. Alignment is so so so important. It should be the very first thing any person works on. If I had made a video myself talking about alignment what is said in this video would be exactly what I would say. When you stand to far to the left or right of the shooting line it causes you to cue across the ball...even just a little is not good. And the best way to stop from doing this is to stand with your dominant foot on the shooting line or very close to it. GREAT VIDEO!
Kansas City Kansas, USA here. Love the content. I've seen great improvement in my game from following your advice. Personally, I found I was missing shots by mm's always to the left side of the pocket with my foot on the line, so I moved my foot to the right of the line and...holy smoke, it's a miracle. It's also a lot more comfortable and natural feeling.
Excellent! This was something I was working on just a few days ago which certainly improved my pot success. Alignment can be taken for granted but done correctly makes the game so much easier. Will be applying it again this week here in the "Kingdom of Snooker".
hi i lineup a dead straight shot , but when i get down i see that the cue is not pointing towards pointing , always aiming to the left side of the pocket. i put the cue down first then i bring the chest towards cue, but im 100% sure that my cue never moves, as i carefully get down, even in slow motion i even bought a lazer which is like sniper and put on cue, that lazer ensures that my tip is always aiming to the left of pocket when down. what could be the problem>?
@@theznooker I can only think it's a matter of eye alignment and natural aiming judgement...u think you are aiming centre ball but you are not. A lot of players have that problem. Try tilting your head to the the left or right when down on the shot. It may not look correct to u but could help to centre your cue tip.
This might just be the number one video on any channel, but I had to come to a major realization on my own. Reading this might just really help someone. After 41 years away from playing snooker, I have been playing for 2 years, with only mild improvement. Until now. I am right handed, and before seeing this video, I was just living with the fact that all my cue balls were swerving right to left, so I would actually aim to miss on purpose so that I could make the pot. Then I saw this video. So I did the drill of placing the cue ball on the brown spot and trying to deliver it straight up and back. My cue ball always came back to left because of a slight swerve. Then I took my right foot, and moved it drastically to the left. Guess what? The ball started swerving the opposite way. I then found the "sweet spot" of where if I placed my right foot properly, I noticed that the grain of my cue stayed straight and that the cue ball came back straight. This whole process took only 5 minutes to figure out. I did struggle in real games for 2 weeks because I was still aiming (wrong) with my old cueing, but now the last 2 weeks have been far far better with basic shot making. Thank you!!
This is the kind of thing I've been missing my whole life. I was pleased to hear many other players haven't improved in 30 years either...there is still hope!! Thanks for these videos.
Your videos are a joy to watch You've really helped me improve my game I always try the blue ball challenge from the jaws of the pocket when I want to test my straight cueing accuracy Love from Pakistan 💓
During 90,s became a shot maker with this kind of standing, where the right sole of my foot is my reference baseline. From a great author of billiard books.
Watching your videos for about one year, your quality improved very well! Always interesting and useful to watch! Keep up your work! Greetings from Munich, Germany (at least one name you can spell right :D )
I could get a job reading the terms and conditions on slightly dodgy sounding adverts that end with your home may be repossessed if payment dates are missed
Thanks man! I didn't even know snooker existed until recently. Mostly 8 ball over here in the states but I recently found a billiard club that has two twelve foot tables in the back. One frame and I was hooked! Love the tips. Unfortunately I think I may be a bit too tall to keep my right leg straight but I have definitely improved
Hi from Australia, great videos. Thought you might like to know something I noticed about your action. Referring to the shot at 2.06, you kind of do a Judd trump. Your cue looks like it starts a bit off line but when you deliver it it seems to correct itself.
i m using alot of ur tips and techniques in my game also i m improving my stance and game but one thing i need to know that when i m far away from shot i miss my straight shot but on cuts i m pretty god it just only happen when cue ball is far if it is close i don't miss the shot but miss it when it is far away (ONLY IN STRAIGHT SHOTS)
You should have made this video way before. I commented once before that though I did everything right my game was no improving in that only my aim was the issue. IT WAS THE STANCE that was the issue. I saw your video in the morning, went to the club in the evening and changed my stance ever so slightly. It improved my game 10 fold. I was potting more consistently. I was a bit uncomfortable but it was working for me. If there is any more information about stance and foot placement. do share it in future videos. THANKYOU
Hi break from life, I'm Thomas from Malaysia and I'm a pool player but I play pool using snooker techniques, stance and stroke and found it very helpful, what's more even helpful is watching your video n tutorials! They're really informative and funny, keep up the great work! What about your hair reveal on 50k subs? 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, you see centre as right-hand side & then you correct around your body. Have you always done that? Judd Trump & some other pros also do this I've noticed.
Awesome... Can you do a video based around the technique Ronnie was using for a while, he was walking in on the line, with middle of his body on line, then putting both heels together (on line of shot) & then shifting left leg out ( since he's mostly right handed ),... You r thoughts on this would be great! 👍👍
I play 8 ball with a friend that grew up in China playing snooker. We are in the U.S. He still stands in a snooker stance. And he's taught me how to stand. I absolutely cannot straighten my right leg. I have to have both legs bent almost the same. I don't know how you guys do it at all. I'm not that tall. I'm 5'11". but it's just impossible. I love the stance. I am so much more accurate, especially with my long potting. but I cannot stand properly like you guys that play snooker. He's helped me so much but can't figure out any way for me to be able to straighten my leg. So I've just been going with it with both legs bent. lol. any ideas? or should I just keep doing what I'm doing with it? thanks.
@@Breakfromlife thank you. I've watched him play but haven't looked close at his stance. I'll check it out. Thanks break. I appreciate it. I only found snooker a year ago here on RUclips. And I have watched it everyday since. It's my favorite pool game now. The only problem is...I've never played on a snooker table. The nearest one is 6 hours away in Detroit. It's just not that popular here at all. In fact if you walk into a pool hall here and ask.....maybe 3 out of 10 people know what snooker is. The others don't like it. I wish that it would catch on here. I am making a trip to Detroit this summer for a few days. So I'm excited to play. And then I'm also planning a trip to England but not sure yet when that will be. But when I do if you could recommend a place that I could play in London or near that would be so nice. Thank you again.
You are absolutely brilliant! It would he a Dream come true if I could get coaching in person with you! Big fan of your hard work and channel from Birmingham!
Very helpful. Its easy to pull the cue into the body as yiu get down though. I find pushing chest onto cue heloful. BUT..how can I align with the rest??
Really enjoying your approach to videos. Would love to copy your snooker stance but cannot get anywhere near getting my chin on the cue. I am 6' 5" with two hip replacements and very very stiff spine. Should I give up the proper stance and play standing up like a very old man?
Just try anything that’s fairly sensible and allows you to get your head as low as possible. I know the taller you are the harder it gets even without back pain or hip replacements. But there are lots of things that could help like putting one foot a long way forwards. Doesn’t have be perfect
Started practicing more consistently with snooker over the past few months and I’ve have progressed at a good rate thanks to your videos but one thing I can’t do consistently is a screw. I don’t know what it is about it but it just doesn’t happen I will either stun the ball or get minimal movement. Is there anything that I may be overlooking with the shot as to why it’s a shot I just can’t master atm. By the way I’m watching from Bradford in England 🤙🏼🤙🏼
It’s probably following through the CueBall, just imagine your playing any other shot. This video explains it better but it is nearly a year old so I wasn’t so good at editing then
Elias from sweden Umeå! I love snooker but i Always play 8 ball and when i do play snooker i'm so bad ): I'm pretty good on 8 ball but snooker is lika a new sport.
For anyone who wears glasses and also plays snooker, there are glasses frames that actually allow you to adjust the height of the lens, I don't personally wear glasses, but I've seen people who use these types of frames, and they seem to work pretty well
Hello love your vids! Can you please tell me how much weight you should put on each leg. I tend to aim a lot more accurate middle of chin with my weight all on my right leg (right handed player).
Sometimes I'm not able to get a powered follow through .. why is that And why I'm comfortable with screw shots with side but not with the topspin sides?
Hey alex - 2 words for you mate "Dennis Taylor" - He solved that problem over 30 years ago and won the world championship over Steve Davis in a decider.
Love your videos m8 taught me a lot you have some talent! What cue is it your using ? Looks like a mark selby one I got the but is shorter and comes with an extension. But I couldn't get used to it felt to light at the cue end. Point of this rant is I'm struggling to find my cue.thanks Kev.
hello mate got a question for you.....i allways played with a square stance to the line and cue under the middle of my chin but for the life of me i can not play or get into that position anymore...i look down the cue and everything seems off its like im seeing double i have put on weight since the 80s so i tried a lot of diffrent ways to have my stance with no luck....weird thing is i can fall into the line with the cue in my left hand but im no left hander any advice would be helpful thanks in advance.
I wonder if you might be gripping the cue too tight and trying to put too much power into the shot. The deep screw is a pretty difficult shot anyway since you're trying to hit as low as possible but not too low. If you hit it nice and smooth you don't actually need to be hitting the very bottom edge of the white, though.
Ciaran Cooling from drogheda (beside Dublin) Ireland, with a question, I’ve always thought that great cue power was just something people had but then I noticed that players like Robertson and Murphy with their very straight cue actions have buckets of cue power, is cue power proportional to how straight you cue or is it just a coincidence
It’s got a lot to do with it. It means you will be playing every shot with greater accuracy. Over time that just helps you be more confident when playing those sort of shots
Hey my palm sweats alot and that's create the friction during playing however I used the glove but someone told me that glove gonna change your game your aiming will get worst. What should I do please suggest?
What's the argument for having your potting arm directly over the cue. Everyone's action is different, yours is slightly off, as is mine. But often been told I would improve if I did this.
hi i lineup a dead straight shot , but when i get down i see that the cue is not pointing towards pointing , always aiming to the left side of the pocket. i put the cue down first then i bring the chest towards cue, but im 100% sure that my cue never moves, as i carefully get down, even in slow motion i even bought a lazer which is like sniper and put on cue, that lazer ensures that my tip is always aiming to the left of pocket when down. what could be the problem>?
I’m using cuesoul ss tips there very close to being as good as tip as I’ve tried. With the added benefit of lasting for ages. I made a video all about them a long time ago so the quality isn’t great. Is quite funny though and explains a lot ruclips.net/video/mQBQw7v3nVY/видео.html
Hello; can i ask you please I had a problem that i never had before, i was playing in a local tournement yesterday, i couldnt play well, ( till the point that k coudnt score more than 9 break) it s like it wasnt me, The problem isnt because i was under stress, or afraid from my oppenent or afraid to lose, but i couldnt have any feeling on my hands for any shot. Please can you tell me what happened and any advice if i have the same problem another time? Thanks a lot.
Will do at least a video about this soon. Basically this is a problem that everybody has or has gone through or will have gone through at some stage. The best thing you can do is focus on playing the game. It’s very easy to stop doing the vital things you need to do to play well when it starts going wrong. Everyone will struggle to get anything right at some stage. What you don’t want to do is think this is your fault in some way. Because it is something you will have to deal with time to time. If you just keep trying to play the game you will get back to playing like yourself quicker. If you continue to be concerned about it all going wrong it can leave you struggling for the rest of the day
Still watch these videos year after year . Not seen anyone do better than this chap 👍

Most of your weight should be on your right leg though you do want it to be a little bit balanced between the 2
Probably a dumb question, but will this also work on non-snooker games?

Yeah Now I Daily Watch your videos Sir. I really improved my game too much by your videos, Thanks for making videos of snooker tips.
Hi there, got a quick question. Sometimes when i'm trying to perform a deep screw shot, I miscue the cueball so that it jumps. What am I doing wrong??
Possibly, or your touching the table. Not having enough chalk on the cue could be a factor as well
I wonder if you might be gripping the cue too tight and trying to put too much power into the shot. The deep screw is a pretty difficult shot anyway since you're trying to hit as low as possible but not too low. If you hit it nice and smooth you don't actually need to be hitting the very bottom edge of the white, though.
Grip...you "choke" the cue...to tight.

It’s got a lot to do with it. It means you will be playing every shot with greater accuracy. Over time that just helps you be more confident when playing those sort of shots

@@Breakfromlife thank you for the reply and advise.
What's the argument for having your potting arm directly over the cue. Everyone's action is different, yours is slightly off, as is mine. But often been told I would improve if I did this.
That’s a standard or average position but as with everything it’s how it works with the rest of your technique that matters.
hi
i lineup a dead straight shot , but when i get down i see that the cue is not pointing towards pointing , always aiming to the left side of the pocket.
i put the cue down first then i bring the chest towards cue, but im 100% sure that my cue never moves, as i carefully get down, even in slow motion
i even bought a lazer which is like sniper and put on cue, that lazer ensures that my tip is always aiming to the left of pocket when down.
what could be the problem>?
What tip do you use? It looks a bit odd :-)
Which snooker tip you suggest
I’m using cuesoul ss tips there very close to being as good as tip as I’ve tried. With the added benefit of lasting for ages. I made a video all about them a long time ago so the quality isn’t great. Is quite funny though and explains a lot ruclips.net/video/mQBQw7v3nVY/видео.html

Hello governor
Hello; can i ask you please
I had a problem that i never had before, i was playing in a local tournement yesterday, i couldnt play well, ( till the point that k coudnt score more than 9 break) it s like it wasnt me,
The problem isnt because i was under stress, or afraid from my oppenent or afraid to lose, but i couldnt have any feeling on my hands for any shot.
Please can you tell me what happened and any advice if i have the same problem another time?
Thanks a lot.
Will do at least a video about this soon. Basically this is a problem that everybody has or has gone through or will have gone through at some stage. The best thing you can do is focus on playing the game. It’s very easy to stop doing the vital things you need to do to play well when it starts going wrong. Everyone will struggle to get anything right at some stage. What you don’t want to do is think this is your fault in some way. Because it is something you will have to deal with time to time. If you just keep trying to play the game you will get back to playing like yourself quicker. If you continue to be concerned about it all going wrong it can leave you struggling for the rest of the day
@@Breakfromlife thank you very much.. it gone away with thinking positif all the time. Thanks a lot .
Am badr from morocco casablanca.
my stance is too wrong...i am a biginner, i am practicing but not improving..please give some advice
It will get there you just need to stick to something consistent that works
thanks i will keep practicing
Sometimes i play some shots that are unbelievable bit sometimes I miss the most simplest shots .. why is that?
how to conclude?
we aim with our body, we fine tune with our eyes?
Sir, when I play frame with someone who got better hand I miss even simple pots of colour ball and ends up falling in nervousness.😥😔
That is a problem that effects everyone at some level. Just remember being nervous doesn’t make you play any worse
