How Much Warm up do you need before a Match ?

[peterpackage]

How much do you need ? How much is too much ?

What do you prefer to do in a warm up ? Line up etc

I never liked playin before a match I prefered to play straight off.

[nevets]

Not much. One or two frames with a team mate, a few long blues.

Yeah same here, i think you lose the "hunger" if you practice before a match.
Altho in the one frame shoot out monday night league matches, we all play together as a team for an hour before the match, just a couple of normal frames but we go for every pot to get our eye in (hopefully)

Yep exactly that. Always prefered to stay fresh if you know what I mean which i'm sure you do.

[jrc750]

Im still rubbish tho, but at least im fresh
Mind you ive played in 7 out of the 8 matches so far and won (somehow) 5 of them so not too bad overall lol

[tornado taylor]

Ay thats good mate if your winning when your not playing at ya best good on ya. They best watch out when you hit form then fella

[The Doctor]

Just a spread(the colours on spots and reds all over the table).
Also worth doing an arm stretch before you start. Pull your arm across your chest at shoulder height and hold for 10 and repeat with other arm. Do this a few times and your arms will feel much more relaxed and free.

I always like a Few Hits before a Match.

I like to get my Eye in Potting Long Blues & Line Up Fergal Obrien Way is very Good!

i like to hit maybe like 10 balls or so...just to check im cueing straight (normally not lol)....but sometimes ill play a few frames or something, and sometimes ill go straight into a match without doing anything and be fine....all depends on the day really...

[Freddie Ng]

I'll normally line up a few balls along the blue spot, and try to pot all of them. :snooker:

The best player at my club (147 break) doesn't play from the last game of the league season, until the first frame of the new league season. Then he just carries on from where he left off. Having a Rolls-Royce cue action probably helps.
