Hello,

I've been playing Arcade Snooker 30 mins - 1 hour daily for the last 3-4 weeks now, and i feel like i've hit a wall in terms of my skill and playing ability.
I was wondering if there is any tips, training techniques or methods anybody can suggest to help me improve my game?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Look on "youtube" a few of our members have posted their video's showing 107's, original breaks etc.. maybe you could take some advantage of that. Or maybe join a well established members game (if thats ok with him/her of course) and watch and learn. Other than that practice?

Dont miss

I can't think of any better advice than watching how better players play. Either by playing them, or by watching their games.

Before each watched shot, try to think out what you would play in their place, see what they played and how, and see the differences with what you'd have played.

Also, spending a few minutes on practice table experimenting in details how spin works will not harm.

could also try line up as well

yeh the line up helps middles very well i found that out and now im a VIRTUOSO if i was you mate just go on the practice table watch virtuosos and play on line up

I've always practiced potting the baulk colours into every pocket on the table done my game wonders.

i would say slow down, you don't have to hit the ball hard. Good position is worth more than potting hard shots. If you can crack the position side of things almost all shots become easy..gl

thats great advice bfore i used to even think about positioning i was low 700s or high 600s and then once i had practise and thought well about positioning my rank shot up and i was beating much better players more regularly.

all i can say to you is practise makes perfect eventually

GOOD LUCK

That's brill, gives me something to aim for. Will keep going with the line-ups and see if i can have a ganders watchin the pro's ;)

i have had 5 107's

i have had 4

wow on the line up impressive

Was that a hint of sarcasm I detected

I used to watch the best players out there. In time though your understanding of the game will vastly improve anyway, and thats when you will notice the differences

As long as you keep playing and practicing, you will improve. Take me for example. My lowest ever ranking is 551 and my highest break was 24. Now I have six cents including a maximum.

In my opinion, the best place to practice safeties is on Killer, since you can't win unless the other players are eliminated.

i agree but there no killer practice tables to practice on

Wandered why you were always in my room

haha i was?

p.s mike, you coming online for a few?

I wouldn't say slow down because you will think of the shot too much and keep thinking your aiming it wrong when you wasn't. That's why i play quick or i just miss all the time.

Watch N learn is best way, you can watch me if you want, however, sean_paul, ste_efc and others are your best bet.
