Absolutely drained that final red into the middle, and controlled the screw off the cushion to hold for ideal position on the black. Lovely shot. Oh to be able to get down and be better than evens for that sort of shot.....

ive always felt comforable with the middles, trick is to talk yourself into it and play it positive

Nice clearance, yea that last red in the side was hit so good. Oh by the way J6 nice looking cue.

cheers man, yeah it plays nice too

You made a bit of a horlicks positionally on the first one, but you potted everything.....the brown in to the middle was a top shot. Then foul, and foul....maybe time for a tuca refresher?

It's very admirable how you put yourself up there though, warts and all.....when everything comes together you're as good as I've seen. That you can also share the cockups, that the rest of us make a bit more often than you, shows a well grounded humility.

I find your stuff immensely helpful. You are the most generous contributor here.

thats good to hear,i'll try and be tidier next time. gonna get on my tuca now

I tell you J6 you can pot, positional play shocking...lol

I give you credit some of the pots especially in that 3rd vid were , well lets say unconventional but they went in.
getting a bit close to the white a few times , I do that sometimes I have my tip only a few mm from the white and can on occasions touch.
I have to get up when I do that in practice.

keep em coming , great stuff

thanks badi theres more on the way

You really do cue nicely J.

still room for improvement

In what way J?

In what way J?

tention, not rock solid, and timing. but i feel if i put some good work in that would all fall into place

Three things that kill my action, it's amazing how a little of each can make a huge difference.

I love those shots you hammer in the side pockets. I only dream of making shots in the sides. From my Pink spot you have to just miss the near jaw to make it. Wide by a 1/4 and the ither jaw spits it out.

Most tables are the same Les, playing with pace you got to hit the middle. No margin for error. Jason has a great cue action so makes it look easy.

i treat the middle like another corner pocket. you can play these shots on any table, just don't hold back on them and let your cue go

Yes I think your right. I think I am trying to steer it in.

[throtts]

Just keep still on the shot and wallop that ghost ball, les.

Fair play to you J6, very natural play there and brave and honest vids. And thats just it, if we are all honest about our game then we will improve. When you read many post on here you are led to believe that loads are whacking in high breaks left and right and centre.

Good thread, along with the "using side" one too.

Yes I will second that one. Lots of guys running Tons or so they say but not many of them are posting videos. Now J6 is running 1/2 centuries in the blink of n eye. Great videos. I have uploaded videos of my 16 breaks..LOL and hope to be able to brag about makeing 1/2 centuries and upload videos them at some point.

Terry Davidson mentioned on another thread how much ahead the UK is with amateur snooker. You should check out some of the UK local leagues Les. The top division in West Midlands league is based on teams of 5 players playing 1 frame each. Currently there has been 13 centuries, 135 50+ breaks and a top break of 141.

some very talented players in the south but for wall to wall quality, its up north

Can't disagree with that. I live just outside Portsmouth and it seems a hive of activity up North, whether playing, collecting or making cues.

We are miles behind, we have some of the better players playing all the time and not one century this year. We had a Pro/AM a couple weeks ago which brought out Cliff Thorburn, Alain Robidoux, John White, Floyd Ziegler and a bunch of very good amature players and the high run and only century of 105 was made by Cliff 13 Blacks n extra red and the high break for the amateurs was 89. This was also on a Brunswick Anniversary with buckets for pockets.

blacks

ive been feeling unsteady on the shot for some time now so i thought id try and do 50 blacks into one pocket, just to see if i could concentrate on settling into the shot more
oh and no side
