‼️💥 RAGE BAIT ALERT 💥‼️

Following on from my post yesterday, and my inbox being littered with messages, contradicting my statements, in this case specifically on stance..

How a stance has to be good and proper to play Snooker. How, for a right hander, your right leg must be on that line of aim or you couldn't possibly pot balls!?

Well again, I'm here to tell you that it is just not true, and if you're being told this, or god forbid, taught this, then you need to reconsider "who you listen to".

The saving grace amoungst all the chaos of the Snooker coaching world, is there are folk about that know the score, that really get it, and can really do it.

There are certain things all top players have in place when playing, these are the real "fundamentals". They are probably, most definitely, not what you think they are.

Michael Holt Snooker Coaching posted a video a while ago, you should check it out, it's great 👉🏼 https://youtu.be/k-5hm8YDX24?is=cBfRazfVkARgznC2
This video is demonstrating clearing a table using a different stance for each shot, 36 different ways in all.
I thought I'd take it a step further, and clear the table stood on 1 leg, just to reaaaaaally bang that drum.
6 minutes of my life I'll never get back, but needs must.. for the cause and all that!!

It's really not rocket science this game. But focusing on the wrong things can lead you down a road not worth travelling, trust me!

Above all else this demonstration was a good core workout 😅

"Who do you listen to?"

A question that, for the large part of my snooker journey, has been at the forefront of everything.

I coach people from all ages & abilities, from players that are picking up a cue for the very first time, to players that make century breaks.
One thing I always insist on is that you challenge me, let's discuss what we are learning, so it's easier for you to accept and digest.
If I can't demonstrate it, how can I expect you to believe it or even take what I'm saying on board?

I hear all the time people talking about the 'fundamentals' of playing Snooker.
Claiming these to be different aspects of the technique, the stance for example.. that these MUST be in place to even begin to play this game.

This is nonsense. It is not true.
The 'fundamentals', the things that you REALLY need to be focusing on, are not what you think they are to play this game to a high level.

I can show you.

Today was a solo practise day for me. 📈

I get asked loads of questions regarding practise, what should you be doing & how much of it..

Over the years I've found the best way for me to keep my solo practise as productive as possible, and get the most out of my days to prevent it becoming monotonous, is constantly set myself challenges & dial in on particular areas of my game.

It's the age old debate of quantity or quality, but why not have both? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I like to start my solo days off with really simple routines, maybe do 5-10, including Lineups, T Lineups, full table spreads, basically anything where nothing is awkward, but go for a long period of time without missing a single ball, that helps to focus my mind.

Then I'll zero in on what I want to do, today was cue ball control.
Here's a tough routine that requires discipline. I wasn't completely satisfied with the outcome, I landed straight on 1 red and also played a couple of blacks from slightly higher positions than I intended to be, so the use of side spin saved the day, but it's good to try and strive for that perfection in that area of the table, and my next attempts I'll look to iron out those minor flaws. The end goal was to complete the routine obviously, but you can go through your game with a fine comb to keep pushing for more.

I'm still very much a student of this game, you'll never complete it, you'll always want more. But it's good see where you are at right now. 🤓

You can try this down the club, condense this routine to just a few reds and blacks, you don't need all 15 out. It's a good one, I've got thousands off them, and at least then you're trying something productive, not just hitting balls 👍🏼
