Hello from a Snooker player

[Nice Guy Darren]

probably a misunderstanding on my side thank you f pass it on tech .

. darren , last thing I wanted was h-jacking your thread , bud . my sincere apologies !! Looking forward to more video’s!!

Ha yeah has gone a bit off my thread, maybe the ADMIN could tidy this up a bit by deleting some of them, hopefully you got your answers.
I did a 145 on the line-out tonight, 14 blacks, 1 blue, tricky at the end as I had to get the brown away from the cushion with the green.

Welcome to TSF Darren!

Must admit I couldn’t be bothered watching the whole video, but what I did see looked OK! You must be doing well to be knocking in line-up breaks like that! I wonder though… how does your technique hold up under pressure? In a comp for instance? No real pre-shot routine from what I can see, cue action looks jabby to.

Where in the UK you from bud?

Oxfordshire, I won the Oxfordshire county title in 2001 which is the moment I retired from competition, I self tought myself with no coaching and just found myself enjoying the game, I love creating strange shots which I may start catching on camera now to post, I knew I was onto something when I found I could deep screw the cue ball from one end of the table to the other with ease on thick cheap club clothes,...makes me wonder how far I could do it on the proffesional ultra thin no friction clothes,...most likely could deep screw it back into the car park 😂

I started to play again around 4wks ago, it doesn't take long for it to come back,...just get's rusty, I felt I was always natural around the table, it will always be with me.

Enjoyed that , nice fluent cueing Daz - I can see you're not a robot line up person and have a bit of flair to fall back on. Can deffo see a bit of Alex in your style but also a fair bit of Jimmy too.

What ar you looking for in the game now? Interested in comps or just having fun pottin Balls?

Whatever, enjoy it while ya still got it.

Thank you, I managed to hit 145 this evening, 14 blacks, 1 long blue and a tricky final brown to deal with, I'm quite proud of this one, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6iklEp_MzQ

Enjoyed that, you play exactly like my pal, he spots the shot so quickly just like you. He's also very compact and has an action not a lot can go wrong with.

Thank you, I improved on it tonight with a 145, I'm getting close!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6iklEp_MzQ

Couple of bonus exhibtion shots I did (and used to do in matches), an ultra thin black off the cushion and a recreated Pink to Black by Jimmy White he did back in 1984 at the Masters, I love doing banana shots 😀

usually the way you strike the CB and the sound says alot regarding the players
standard and the cue he's playing with .
you play the game in a natural way .
As i said , very relax and smooth cue action .
Very enjoyable to watch. Nice to have a decent player on board.

As for the off t topic posts ,
I do apologize again , feel free to ask Dean to remove these posts . I've no problem with that .
I'm sure he would be delighted to remove me from t bottom of the earth.

Goodluck with the game and happy potting .

Adios .

I love doing banana shots 😀

Me too, sometimes i do try silly things like pot a ball and screw it to the other end of the table without hitting any cushions, fun!

[Nice Guy Darren]

A pot is always possible if you believe it can be potted 😁
Today I attempt two acute rail pots, I did these a few times in matches where I already won the frame, enjoy!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfLHLyMVT-k

Hi, I started a fresh forum under The Snooker Lounge regarding a few of my snooker videos, I now hit the 147 maximum line out break so now I can put that practice technique to bed and the video link is there, enjoy and thank you :-)
