Hi
One of the biggest problems I have with snooker is that I find it hard to make good safety shots. Either I do not have a vision for where I want the ball to go or an idea of where the the balls will end up after I strike the cueball, or if I do the balls don't go where I want them to! If it ends up nicely, I feel like I got lucky.
One particularly troublesome part of the game is when I require snookers to win the game. Usually there are only the colours left on the table, and when they aren't close together I really don't know what I should be thinking and how best to get that cueball hidden and snug! On TV I see the players hit the balls randomly against cushions and somehow it ends up in a snooker - they obviously know something I don't. Clearly it takes precision power and english to get that cueball safe.
I guess there must be some kind of textbook safety which coaches teach to students - can I get something like that? I'm thinking something like diagrams... if not, any general advise much appreciated.
