Product Information

The first round is the only one during the venue stages where the matches will take place over only two sessions.

BUT, notice how we said ‘barring any other influences’? That’s because the moment you put any form of spin on the ball, it will change the exit angle as the spin will cause the ball to either grip, or push away from the cushion. Four sessions are then on the World Snooker Championship schedule for the semi-finals and the final, which have a distance of 33 and 35 frames respectively. If Ronnie took advantage of his own massive global popularity to be a true ambassador for snooker then he could work with us to drive the sport forward for his benefit and for the sport as a whole."The most important thing in snooker is to get a good stance and cue action. Once you have perfected this, you’ll find it much easier to play each shot as you intended as you will not introduce as many errors that throw shots off. One player, for example, was advised to “lower his expectations” in an important match and ended up improving his points tally by 200 points more than he expected. The moral of this story was to set yourself as a player a modest target that is both attainable and also not too ambitious. When you can achieve more than what you set for yourself, then that is priceless progress. If you manage all of this, you might be able to turn professional, but it’s by no means a guarantee. Why am I not getting better at snooker? The eight participants in this event were determined by the points won in ranking tournaments in this season's events prior to the Tour Championship. There are many individual sports where the levels of prize money are significantly lower than snooker. For now, we are more than holding our own for the nature and size of the sport.

Try and think a few shots ahead (especially if there aren’t many balls left in pottable positions), sometimes you’ll need to play a different shot now to keep the break going in 2 or 3 shots time. As a highly technical game, everything from the way you stand through to how you deliver the cue can make a huge difference in how good you are at snooker.

Therefore, anyone looking for ways to get good at snooker should start by learning the theory. Once you understand the theory, you need to practice putting it into action over and over until you do it it without thinking. Why is snooker so hard? When imparting spin, you should be smoothly following through with the cue rather than ‘jabbing’ at the ball. The more you do this and the smoother you are, the more reaction you will get.With that in mind we aren’t going to go into detail about the tactical play of specific shots. That’s something you’ll begin to learn through trial and error. Are responsible for all import duties, customs charges, and VAT payable in the destination country.

I can't do more. I have carried the sport pretty much for the last 20-30 years. It's not one player. It's the sport, it's not a massive sport. If you don’t have a snooker table, you can still practice things like your stance and cue action at home. Why not try recording a video of yourself in your stance, pretending to cue a ball to see if you can spot anything that may not be absolutely perfect? The beauty of mastering positional play is that you make the shots you have to take on easier. The more you control where the cue ball finishes, the easier you can leave each shot. Imparting SpinFor example, if the ball strikes the cushion from a 45 degree angle, it will leave the cushion at a 45 degree angle. The 47-year-old claimed the people managing the game are "not the brightest sparks" and that snooker had "lost its charm" and become "like a pub sport".

You’ll need to work on understanding tactics and shot selection as well as ensuring you have the right mentality and the ability to hold your concentration for a long period of time. In all of these situations, there is one important rule to remember. Barring any other influences, a ball hitting a cushion will always leave the cushion at the same angle it hit it from (often called the ‘natural angle’). Good cue action starts with a good stance. It helps to give you stability during the shot. The more stable you are, the easier it will be to deliver the cue in a straight line.
