Whilst there are clearly a lot of the Canadian guys on here that know you Lee, from an English standpoint, maybe a little introduction please....Not being rude but I am thinking....

"who are you?"

Nick

[lee brett]

hi

hi nick

thanks for the welcome, lol..

i moved to canada to coach snooker and possibly become the national coach..

i have coached snooker in england for 15 years locally, i have worked with del hill for a while and came over to canada after his help, im now teaching the game over here to them the showing them how to play similar to ronnie if thats possible but im teaching thme to drive the ball not the old method of pecking the cueball..

i won local amateur tournaments, and just practiced a lot on my own, at 1 stage i went to the crucible with paddy power, who was interested in sponsoring me at the time...

but i stopped playin snooker after splitting with my ex (women how we hate them)

Welcome,
Do you also practice with Cliff Thorburn, Kirk Stevens, and Alain sometimes?
Would love to see videos of you instructing or playing.

[archalf1471]

thanks for that Lee.

tell me something...how do you see the fundememntals of coaching has changed over the last 20 years or so??

you talk about the elbow drop and that is something that is quite difficult to get across in laymans terms to a beginner

when i started playing about 25 years ago I was coached by a guy called Walter Ley who under Jack Karnehm became a national coach here in the uk for a time in the mid to late 80's. Were always taught the fundementals of straight correct cueing with a pendulam motion forming with the cue arm. One of his little gismo's or exercises was too get us to cue through a matchbox or little plywood box that was fractionally wider than a normal matchbox. Quite often for periods where it felt the arm was no longer part of your body!!!!!!

Now I am lucky to be able to cue through A CORNFLAKE BOX!

No really its not quite that bad........

[lee brett]

practice

i was with cliff and kirk in montreal few weeks ago, also with alain playing in alains tournament, really good time getting drunk all night in our hotel room listening to there story's.

meant to practice with both of them but not had chance to yet, playing in tournament with them in 2 weeks, should be good.

arch

arch watch ronnie or selby play you will see the up to down cue action with dropping the elbow,

what you should do is go see del hill you will love it and he is such a nice guy and his jacuzza should be in by now as well as fishing, and of course the snooker..

Pepsi max, is that what 147 is called?

hmm, got a commercial idea! "If you want do a maximum break in snooker, drink Pepsi Max. With zero sugar you will be able to do that! Pepsi Max, the maximumplayer's choice"

[lee brett]

pepsi max

be great if pepsi sponsored snooker more money in the game as well, get the players advertising pepsi max as well

[lee brett]

thanks ali for your comments see you after your exams to work on your cue action
