i swear to god ....i have never seen a coach like you, who freely spreading so helpful knowledge to snooker players in the world, who can't afford to come and get coaching.lots of love from me.

Best coaching video on the net just now by a mile. Been playing 40 years and have learned a huge amount from this one video alone and stuff I never knew - like using different amounts of stun or top for certain shots so as to avoid cushions. I've never had coaching but would love to, to improve my game. Brilliant video Steve

Love these little built practice sessions. No stress with trying to absorb too much at once, which can ruin your concentration as a beginner or worse yet, just make you want to give up. I'm very new to snooker in the sense that I never took the time to properly learn all the techniques. I know how to spin the cue ball, but that's about as far as it went. Thank you for this video, very appreciated.!!!!

It’s a good exercise Steve, I like to combine that with just practicing clearing the colours of the spots as well, it’s quite eye opening sometimes how many different shots you need to play on what seems a simple clearance, nothings ever the same on these exercises.

Hi, the dreaded black! Just got my snooker bug back after a 3yr break. My highest break is 104 and also made a 103. These were made in real frames, not practice routines.
My big problem now is the black off the spot. Every where else on the table, Im ok but have lost how to pot the black with those higher up the table angle shots....Frustrating to say the least.
Great channel by the way👍

This is the current lineup I do. I completed fro 2 reds to 4 reds, but 5 is much harder as the gaps are so much smaller. I have only potted 3 reds and blacks so far. It makes a hell of a difference though when you get around the black and pink.

Good clear instructional video, but only what we have come to expect from you now Steve. Definitely the best snooker videos on YouTube. I played 4 frames last Monday for the first time since Christmas. I used as much of your instructions as I could remember and won 3 of the frames. But now I’ve done my back in working so won’t be playing for a month or so. But I will keep watching your videos & picking up hints & tips. Cheers Steve. 👍👍

Great video. I do this exact routine and it’s massively helped with break building and close cue ball control. With regard to that, side is being mentioned for some shots, the only thing not being explained fully is most of the other shots are played using ‘helping side’ as well.

Hi Steve

Thank you for your videos.
I'm struggling with this exercise because I'm still not sure about what shot to choose depending on the angle. You did another video about where the black would hit the cushion if hit straight. I think combining the two ideas would be great. So maybe have three spots on the cushion each side, marked by placing coins there or something and then explain the choice of shot. Perhaps you could even just use this video and add the points on the cushion digitally.

Best

Steve

This video has really helped Thanks. Question do you have any videos of yourself playing in a tournament?.

[HarshSharmaDrHouseMD]

Great video, it really gives perspective on how professionals think about break building.

[philcamp]

Thanks do much for these valuable lessons

[yardyy]

Great video, would yout that virtual cue ball on again please. That is helpfully indeed. Keep up the great quawork.

[keithstamp]

Excellent video have you done a video for people who wear glasses please

[divinxoii]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much. I have question, when you use left hand side on the black do you compensate or adjust the potting angle or not? when I play this shot with left, to pot the black I feel I aim different angle compared when stun it.

Twenty years of hacking away on my own with no instruction, barely made a break of thirty in all that been following Barton Snooker, Barry Stark and Break From life for about a year and now have a high break of 63 which I’m confident I’ll surpass. Purely down to watching these great so thanks Steve for by the way you and Break From Life and Barry Stark should have a little tournament. Battle of the snooker coaches! Plenty would watch online 🙂

[johncrawford]

Hi steve have you any tips on playing reds into bottom corner pockets behind the black i find these shots really awkward i cant work out why i miss so many off cushion or close to cushion thanks ps love your content

[ianwatkins]

Yet again another fabulous video Steve!

[deanscarth]

I really enjoy this routine. My best break on it is 102. Last week I did 11 reds, 8 blacks and 3 pinks. Determined to do all reds with blacks.
