How to Play Snooker Topspin/Follow Through - Bite Size Snooker Shots

hello and welcome back to the snickers shed and welcome back to the bite size snooker shots and today we're going to look at the topspin [Music] i saw snooker on the tv and that was the end of it okay let's learn how to play follow through or the top spin shot not as sexy as those nice deep screw backs that we can play on the table but it's a vital shot to have in your arsenal to be honest i found this a wee bit more difficult to get better at follow through shots or top spin shots than what i ever did playing the screw back playing the follow through shot well it's pretty simple hit the ball above the center so when i'm going to play this top spin shot i raise my bridge hand and i reckon i'm hitting plus three to go to plus four i need to raise it up just start a wee bit more but here we're in the realms in this queue masculine on topspin isn't that a bad idea because when you get to the point where you've mass queued you know you're hitting the cue ball far too high and then it's just the case coming down just a little bit and then adjust a little bit more until you're striking that cue ball nice and clean and the good thing about ms kuhn on the top spin is it's not like the screw back where you'll damage the cloth hey if you want to learn about screw back have a look at this video [Music] so i did say that i found playing the screw shot was easier to learn than playing the topspin shot what i find is that the cloth gives you a better indication of how low you're striking on the cue ball whereas on the top spin there's nothing really there to help you decide how high you actually are and i think the inherent fear of masculine pushes you down to a lower level therefore not getting as much topspin as we would like so what's the snooker sheds top tips for playing a good top spin shot make sure you've got lots of chalk on your tip a good solid stance a nice smooth delivery in the queue keeping your head and body still making sure you deliver the cue all the way through and stay down in the shop to watch it when it all goes right and without practice you better play it just like this [Applause] ladies and gentlemen i'm going to say a big massive thank you to everybody that's been subscribed to the channel over the last few months i'm going to give a big shout out to andy lottie who is my 100th subscriber as it stands today we're at 822 subscribers from nearly every continent in the world it's absolutely incredible and i'm overwhelmed by how much the channel is doing over the last few months if you like what we're doing at the snooker shed hit that subscribe button and hit the wee bell so that you never miss the next video and listen thank you very much for watching and i'll see you on the table [Music] you
