Don't look for it young Skywalker, look at what will allow it to jump out and hit you in the face. The pocket, and the two balls will allow you to gather enough information to rely on past experience and similar shots that you've successfully pocketed and before you know it you have a lightbulb...

Some of the best advice I ever got on aiming was to flick the eyes between all the things that matter. The pocket, object ball and the cue ball. I was told that if you look at these 3 things long enough the line of aim will eventually jump right out at you. Turns out this was very true. I...

My eyes are needed until my bridge hits the table. From there I can shut them and still make balls. At one point when I was younger I was working on consistently approaching the shot the same way every time and I won God knows how many bottles of pepsi and Snickers bars from my dad because once...

This isn't true at all. He is one of the best players to ever hold a cue but you would get laughed at on the snooker circuit if you said Ronnie had the best fundamentals known to man. He admits it himself... He isn't textbook by any stretch of the imagination but he has made it work. His cue...

All players sweep into the shot one way or the other. How a player eyes a shot and keeps their vision locked on the shot usually dictates how they sweep into the shot. For a player that is using the right eye to sight and is right handed will have a noticable sweep of the cue and body from left...

Sorry Beebs, I got in there first!

I'm flattered, but I'd have to disagree and go with Neil Robertson or Stephen Lee. :-)

Lol yeah, something like that.

You do learn to adjust the more you flick between the two types of cloth. Neither fast or slow cloth will ruin your game. As a kid I played on very slow snooker tables and they actually helped me improve my cue accuracy on harder struck shots.... Because they came up so damn often. That said...

My dad used to always say in reference to a shot to nothing in snooker... If you don't think about potting the ball, how do you expect to pot it? Too often I would think more about the where I wanted the white to land safe and I would always miss the pot and leave it over the pocket. Best...

Great video. The little man can definitely play and he already has better fundamentals than his dad... Kidding :-) I loved the part when he was using the rest. Nearly crushed his hand. No better way to stop doing a bad habit than when a little pain is involved. I used to get a whack around the...

They don't teach it as such in school in the UK, but when I was in school my exams in physical education consisted of practical sports that the kids were into. Most chose football or rugby but I chose snooker. I was allowed 3 hours per week out of school to practice. All that for 10 minutes for...

Roughly 100 straight in shots a day then playing the ghost until I lose interest.

Lol. You are the worst offender for not wanting to find fault with their side of the coin... And I mean it in the nicest way possible. All I ever seem to see from you is you arguing the toss over pointless little things because it doesn't agree with what you, Fran, Gene or CJ believe. I...

Either way, it's still a pathetic subject to argue over.

Never knew such a topic could get so heated.

I'll see what I can do seeing as it's you that's asking, beebs. I think I need to head to the hardware store to get me some white tape to represent the line of aim.

Lol what the hell? I made that post in 2013 I think.

Ha clearly bullshit. Half it and you'd be a bit closer.

I'm 45,I've just had an easy life!
