Master Blaster's Cueing Challenge

I remember playing against Stuart before he was bigtime and he was an absolutely ****ing sensational cueist...

He's always been able to mop the balls up from anywhere...

i don't know, its been a long time since iv been in the company of a pro, but looking back i saw lots of long shots around the back of the pack, the cross, lineup with only the pink, sequential lineup maxes

Cheers for that. I should mix it up a bit with a few more routines but I find the three I do regular cover most angles of pots and it creates the repetition to get used to playing the shots with feel. T line up I always just use the pink. I'm only average but enjoy the challenge of improving.

Pottr, can you recommend two or three routines you use regular. Looking to freshen up my practice but so many routines out there, I just want a few to concentrate on.

Keep it simple with variants of the lineup...

T split

Using only blues to corners... in and out of baulk...

There's too many to do... just make sure you focus on whatever you're attempting.

You need to delete some pm's pal... I can't reply about that table

what routines have you cleared markz?

Cleared the basic line up, best 136 and 114 on T line up but not cleared the T yet. Did a simple set up from PJ Nolan YouTube clip today and cleared table for a 113 clearance.

[j6uk]

so you've cleared the lineup once yeah? how may reds bellow the black?

Sorry mate, just emptied my inbox, should be ok now.

Cleared it a few times now, I always use 2 reds below the black and try get rid of them first.

[j6uk]

so now you need 4 bellow, then 5 between black and pink, 5 again and one over the blue or over the brown to make it a little interesting
must clear the pink cross, don't move till you've done that. then maybe max on the line

Cheers, I'll give that a go. Like Pottr says it's similar routines but mix it up a bit, plus the one thing I need to do is focus. When you get used to certain routines your mind loses interest and that's where I take shots for granted and miss.

[j6uk]

its good that you know that cus it don't change when you play your mate or competitive, your head will still go for a walk. and the last thing you want is to spunk two hrs with a top break of 20.. your time and practice and efforts should be important so, head down and grapple these routines till there cleared. otherwise your simply wasting time

when you get stuck on a shot or theres a shot you think you should/wanna know the n stay on that shot till you can o that one shot three times in a row

Cheers, I do mainly play for fun but I do want my game to progress. Recently had 75 and 86 against couple of mates. Been playing about 3 years after a 20 year break from snooker. Not tried any sort of coaching but I'm tempted to book a coach just to help with the concentration side as well as the other benefits.
