Snooker Break Off 100 Break Headcam POV

Can you make a hundred break directly from the break off? And then how many century breaks can I cram into this one video? Made a red, let's see what we can do here. Balls look in good positions. If we can just get on this red below the black spot. I was a bit worried that I was going to push through it too much. Annoyingly I've put all three of these reds into a pretty safe position off that shot. Next to the cue ball here. So what if we get right I can move them off the shot. I can have a much better angle. It's a top one bottom, nearly. I think the other two will be together so they're worth a move. Worth a move early when I could be on other balls like that. That's come out pretty well. The annoying thing is that red's got in the way it's on the cushion now. Because if I can on it I'm not going to be on the black. I don't think there's anything else I can do down here. So I'm going back up for the blue. There we go. Right what's the shot going to be? I don't really need to cannon anything but I've got a lot of angle. It could go wrong if I do. So I'm just going to try and get past the pink with a lot of backspin. I can hit that much better. Pretty happy with that. Didn't think I could hold it that well. I'd love to play the pink here but that red's going to be a problem. Unless I move these ones and play for the pink like this. Because I think where that red is I can cannon the other red away then. So I don't want to play this too hard. I pushed that one but next to that one there. But then I've got the angle to move that one. Pink's going to cover but do I need to move it then? Because the only one I can get on if I play this shot should be okay. So I'm going to hit the left side of this red. So as long as it stops I should be on one of these two. Unbelievably. I don't think they've gone far enough. I might be on this top one. Nope. Well the top one does pot into almost all the pocket. How do I get on a colour? I was just a bit afraid of that because it was all a bit tight to get on anything else. I think if I run this through I could end up on nothing. The other option is you play that. The big swerve. Well that's on isn't it? Let's just swerve it. That looked worse the first time I looked at it. I've only got it straight and I can nearly see it straight. So theoretically you just need a load of side. There was no danger of overdoing it but I thought I could at that. So a little bit same place as before now. This has suddenly become difficult because I can't get a good angle to get rid of any of these. But these two are causing a problem. So if I just get the cannon it should push that red that way or the thought. And hopefully that red that way and the white in the middle of the two of them. See what happens. Just about got the pot. Might be on one. Might be the same shot again but this time with a rest. All right I can see it this time. Now that won't pot. I don't know if we can get on it for a minute. But if I get about here it'll be about right for a cannon off that black. I'll just drop it. I might be able to run around the back. I've got lots of options possible. It might be an angle to go behind them. I'm just a bit afraid of playing that shot. But I think it's on. I'll play the trace right inside to make sure. Yeah that looked like it wasn't possible but it was on. We got on the top red. I can stun it but I think it's a lot better off running it through. Interesting choice of shot coming up after that then. Because potentially I could cannon these reds but I don't need. They both go so I don't need to. Especially if I get rid of this red in between the pink and the black. Just like there. Right this has been complicated. There's been a lot of balls in each each other's way. It's not been a straightforward bunch of shots. Let's play for pink and black there. Because I'm a little bit too much angle on the... Well not enough angle on the black so the pink's better. Because I can just drop it in for that one without doing anything. There's no way that could go wrong. I've got to make sure I end up on the pink here though. I want to come past straight so I can just roll down then. I don't think I've hit that which is a worry. Am I going to be able to do anything with it? Roll past those from there. Pink's no good. Oh I can't believe I've done that. Made it difficult. Very difficult in fact. As if I just drop this in. Got my cannon and the pot. We've got this red down the cushion. I don't know if I could have got past it without the cannon. Right got to leave this low. Should be on the pink if I don't so it's not really that much of an issue. But basically just pop this at the right speed. Whoa whoa whoa whoa. That's a good pop of the rest. It's very potable into the middle pocket there. These three are a bit awkward. They're going to need a positional shot. Now that I haven't been in position this entire break. Well I have sort of. I think I'm just going to go screw back. Not really too sure here. Just leave it just off straight the right way. Could be too much. Could be spot on. I'm not sure. That's a bit tight. I think I've got the angle here. I can just get screwing behind them. Got to cue it well. Got to cue it well off the near dual. Oh that's gone perfectly. Or far dual rather. I think I'm just pushing into the second red. So I can hopefully land on the pink into the middle with this shot. Then push this red on. Oh done with a fraction more. I half stunned it somehow. I might just play the black because this will drop me past top side of this red into the opposite corner. Nearly overcut it. I was a bit worried about that. So if I screw this back about an inch or two. Why is the blue in the way? But leave it there. I've got that so that red goes quite easily in the middle pocket. It's not too much of a problem. That's pretty good. Just got to get over to straightish. On this red. Do I have to use the cushion? I do. The option is to move it or play on it for another pocket. But I think it's fairly good if I just go on off the cushion for straight. Because from there I can just hopefully play a stun shot. I'm not sure. I've got an angle to go for the blue. Blue is going to be better isn't it? It's a bit... I think I can get top side of the blue without missing it. It should be just... Yep. Whoa! Too good. I've left an angle to play the cannon more than the positional shot. Which I think I've got to have a go at. I think I've got to try the cannon. I couldn't have gone much better. Right, low on the black then up for the yellow is the shot. I'm recording this aren't I? Thank god. That wouldn't be good would it? Right, nice stab into the pocket. I thought I straightened it up. Did it a little bit thick but pretty good on this black. Wanted a bit more angle but we can just play a nice stun shot here for the yellow. Didn't feel confident with that one but that's definitely job done now. Because I've played too many high colours for it not to be 100. It probably was before that shot. So we can relax and see if we can make the clearance. Get this video off to a good start. I'm not sure this is a good idea. We're not trying to make as many hundreds as you can in one video but we're giving it a go. That is some good cueing. I was only trying to screw back about six inches there. Right, let's see. See these shots I used to struggle with. I'm probably going to miss it but I found if you pull back slowly make sure there's a pocket and smoothly go through. Half played it terribly but I still potted it. So I should have been down further for this blue. But anyway we pot it which we should. We'll come back up for the pink nicely. This is one option. I don't know what I'm talking about now. I should probably stop talking at this point. There's a lot of video to go. I don't want to put anybody off by just going on about nothing. Well, I think we've done it which seemed unlikely about half. Especially that rest shot. I thought that was all over then but we've managed to make the clearance. Pretty happy with that. On to the lineup which is a pretty straightforward practice routine that more or less every snooker player would have heard of. And unlike the last practice routine it isn't anywhere near as challenging. Possibly therefore not the best thing to practice always because it is pretty simple but it can be difficult. One of the hardest things about snooker is learning to pop simple shots over and over again like this. You can play three or four of them and then all of a sudden once you get that cue ball control where you learn to manoeuvre the cue ball around the balls. And it can be tough to keep repeating the shot over and over again and keep potting the ball. So from that point of view it can be good to practice. And it's probably a lot better to practice than the last thing I was trying. I've left that short haven't I? It's okay we're not exactly looking to get a 1-4-7 here. So we can just hold for the pink. Because the last thing I was trying was not necessarily to pot a red after I smash him open but to smash the reds open and then pot the next red and make the clearance. But I actually potted a red off the break so I ended up making the clearance off that. I've looked back at that and my god that took forever because it was such a puzzle to unpick everything. So it's quite good for that sort of thing but it requires quite a good standard of play to be able. There's quite a high entry level to get anything out of practicing that whereas practicing this the majority of players will gain something from it even if it's just getting their cue action sorted out. This is probably the only challenging shot you'd say and we've handled that quite well. If you get good on that red it's not really too much of a problem. Everyone will be saying now my giant pockets make a difference. It's not like they're for basically all the tables I play on locally. It's not anything like what you see on TV but for all the tables I play on locally it is on the tighter side by quite a bit to the point where every table I play on you play a shot often thinking you missed it and it still drops in and you think to yourself how has that happened? Which is always good but when I got it reclothed they could have done it. I said do it a bit tighter than it was and it's definitely tighter than what it was but I didn't want it too mad because I thought any challenge I do anything like this I just wouldn't be able to do it. Well that was the fear and I wanted it fairly similar to the kind of tables I'm playing on which honestly now most of them are quite a bit faster than this so I'm gonna have to get faster cloth the next time we get the table done I'm pretty happy with how level this table runs actually you know it does roll off a little bit in places but again compared with everything else I can play on which is which is pretty high standard now because I don't know what's going on about this so much we're trying to get this trying to get at least 100 break here and I can't remember what I'm on for points because we've played too many picks now interestingly I just did this a second ago missed the brown for a 1-4-6 clearance and noticed my camera had steamed up which it does occasionally so this is my next attempt after that it took me about three or four goes to say what I meant to say at the start right so I don't know how many tries this is but this is my second proper go right we've got to get on those reds and we're pretty much there oh I've just pushed it nearly missed that that's okay I just pushed it a little bit straight with side there trying to get up for the uh that's a bit awkward angle on that one that's a good thing about this practice routine though there's always another red well half the time there is it's interesting how often you can find yourself in a position where you're on nothing I think we should be okay from here to make at least 100 maybe even this time we'll make the clearance it was a pretty good clip the shots I played as well towards the end because I ended up knocking a red on the cushion somehow and I got to the red I've got it off the cushion I potted it and you can't see any of the footage because the camera steamed up either way either way I'm getting it done five minutes later fortunately that wasn't on the other practice routine because I don't know what would happen that was just I probably have to have shown it anyway why have I put the white there I have to play literally the only thing I can do wrong and I've gone and done it um yeah we will play for the pink then just gotta leave it fairly straight and this is the good part of this you know it's been fairly simple for quite a while and I've actually left myself a missable shot now just gonna make sure we get nice smooth pullback nice smooth follow through there we go I was talking about that a few videos ago with the whole spring thing I was doing I really do think that's helped a lot because all of a sudden now I can play shots like that last one which isn't the hardest shot to play but it does require like a cue action you can't you can't just do what I'm doing here we just stab at everything and and just jab it in no matter what happens you do need to actually cue the ball and uh yeah it's it means you can I definitely recommend having a look at that video anyway if you're kind of struggling with mid-range shots because shots I mean not quite like this bit harder than this but you could pull the cue a long way back hardly push through like that play it like it's almost play it like it's over the pocket or it's a slower shot either way I'm trying to do that I haven't gotten the green properly so we're coming back across this side of the table for the brown and we're not oh didn't quite hit it hard enough is why that happened just didn't break wide enough off the green but anyway we're coming down for the blue got further than last time which I missed that because I didn't end up in position on it right could have done with anything that harder couldn't I again this needs like a well-controlled shot and we got it a little bit hard but it's better to be too hard than too slow this is a shot that's come from a practice routine I've been doing a lot where I wouldn't have thought playing the shot like this before but I'm quite liking it I thought I was going to miss it when I said I did stun it did stun it a bit but there we go another hundred break even if it took one more time than I expected but we're there as long as the camera hasn't steamed up no it's good this is a more regular practice routine to have a hundred break on but it's by no means easier in fact it's definitely harder than the previous two we tried because you need to get top side of the red each shot with this kind of zigzag format where only one red goes to be able to get back to the black and you've got to leave yourself the right angle on the black to get to the next red and it's it requires good cue ball control this because for example if I stun this down and left it straight I wouldn't be able to get to the next red so I've got to make sure I leave the right angle because if I that's not even possibly a little bit too far it's going to be okay because I can control it it's not the easiest shot now to get on the next red from I've actually lost the cue ball a bit because of it and I need a really good shot now to pop this and control the cue ball speed for the black and leave it straight enough that's pretty good I'm happy with that because I can just about screw back enough off this to get on the next red as the sort of reds disappear it gets easier and easier to do that I wouldn't have been able to do that a couple of reds ago but it does get easier the further you get probably the easiest thing to do is just leave yourself high about in this sort of position because you're always going to have the angle and the speed to just pop the black and make sure you get high enough on that top red and basically want to be part of this one we've got all sorts of options then off the black so it's a lot less risky from this point on in terms of getting in position you still need to play the shots well but if you don't end up perfectly on the black now there's a the one I'm intending to but we're still going to try and play the same shot for the next couple anyway just get stun this red in get onto the black with that much angle so I can make sure I go just out of the red off this black because I'm right handed it's a bit of a stretch I might play the other one here yeah actually just went a little bit closer to the black than I intended but as I'm on this one I'm just going to play this through the gap and try it again really so I've just potted it played through the gap I would have done but somehow under hit it I'm on the pink we're going to take advantage of the pink here because that black's a little bit thin I just want to get this over and done with as quickly as possible somehow I've managed to pop that as thin as I possibly could and I've gone past the red so we'll try again with this shot to get back in position hopefully we do it a little bit worried about that one but it's gone in okay I'm actually going to play over this side of the table and just try and hook past the red make sure I get the port that couldn't be much better could it position on the red now we don't need to play on the black again I'm just going to make a clearance on the colours now I'm taking no chances on that I'm just going to screw back for about the brown to make sure we've got a few different options hang on a minute what have I played one pink that was I think I've only played one pink so I think definitely haven't played the blue otherwise I can play the yellow hopefully I can anyway I'm worried my maths was wrong there but I think I'm okay with that I'm either on 100 or 101 I think so we're going to come on off the cushion and get straight on the green we're done there we go just got to screw back a little bit for the brown leave the angle to get to the blue we're pretty much there actually try to miss that left me a little bit too much angle on this so I've got to stun it rather than just drop it in but I mean I always hate this shot because I always I always put it off the near jaw and that's ah I really don't like that shot especially when I leave it there so I made it a little bit harder but I found the trick to this it's not going too far through so about to there I'm not playing any sort of stun shot just play the same shot I've been playing the entire time with this clearance I drop the pink in like it was the reds and finish on the black like that and hopefully if my maths is right that's either 100 or 101 so we're finishing off with this y formation not because I couldn't think of anything better to do well actually that was that's exactly I couldn't think of anything better to attempt so we're just going to finish off with this this is another one like that zigzag one that's really tough to start off with you've got to play some really different shots but again you've got to play some really well controlled shots if I wasn't playing this shot a lot in the last one and this playing around two cushions like that is the sort of shot that could come up a lot that's got the weight of the table quite nicely for a second never lasts too long you uh well there we go you um can keep getting on the end reds which is making this a lot easier than if I was uh doing something like that and leaving it fractionally out of position I'm just about two mil short or something like that it's put me in a little bit of trouble now because I've just got to stun this in which is easy enough I've got a harder black again not too bad but you know have I hit it yes that's well controlled isn't it I was confidently played more or less dead weight uh let's just start over again and we're going to get rid of this red because then the pink will go in this side which is always helpful we're going to try and get on this red anyway that's pretty good you can see how much I've got the weight of the table now after the last thing I was trying um yeah I want to be careful with this because I'm done with the other angle I think I want to be roughly straight on the black that's pretty good I think so I can just screw back this side jabbed at that a bit just have my hand too far away on the cushion so it's a winning okay I'm straight enough on this I think just leave the right angle is the key for this sure I think that the good thing about this side is got all the ones in the middle I could punch that through but knowing me I'd probably get it wrong so let's just play up for the ones in the middle of the table other than the ends a bit at a wonky angle it's a bit uh it's exactly like a lineup now really isn't it so top side of the blue then let's see if we can get back down on those reds next I wanted to play that a bit harder maybe not for the next shot because uh I wanted a bit more angle than that I'm not doing well here I wanted a bit more angle than that right come on we can get top side of this blue no we can't just had a feeling that wasn't going to happen then got top side of right really could do with playing a good shot now use the cushion whoa that's pretty good okay just go it's really only the two none of it's a problem really but the two are together that are ones that really need sorting out so we're going to try and play for them right and we're spot on them yet straight on one of them slight angle on the other one just going to play straight one because the other one is borderline miscible the way I'm going at the moment that's borderline miscible but let's see if we can get the one next to the pink next once that's gone that should be all easy then okay spot on uh do we play for the pink I think we'll just play for the black again it was a bit awkward it's pretty easy to play for pink actually but I could play for the black it wouldn't be any harder to do either really um let's go for the two reds on the other side of the table into the middle pocket a bit short so uh don't know yeah because there's no real position other than the blue that wouldn't that great should definitely not have left that short going to just go high on the blue that's perfect um trying to work out which if I go this side into the middle pocket for the red and if I overhit it by a country mile like that but the other one I wasn't supposed to have overheated that's okay we'll just go up for the blue again you need to get top side again right that should be more or less a hundred sorted um we're going to go over we've got the perfect angle just a bit worried if I stun down I'll go um the wrong side of the pink all right let's move some reds and quite nicely here um I'm not going to play the black because I feel like hitting this harder don't know why just felt like giving that a bash didn't feel like playing it slowly and that's couldn't have gone on any better really nicely straight on the green it's got screwed back a little bit nice smooth cuing on it I'm hitting them so well now if I do that I'm actually over screwed it and it doesn't feel like I've given it anything at all I've played the rest shot yet I'm okay with the rest but whenever I play the first one I don't know what's going to happen so this could go any direction even in the pocket which you'd imagine it would after that dead center the cube looks perfect all right this is much better than any of the other clearances I've done so far I have only potted the yellow oh I'm getting too tired doing this I'm on the green I played one decent positional shot so I must be doing better than I was anything else right I'm actually on the blue which didn't happen last time did it and we can just drop this in for the pink it's got to be dead weight and it is and we've well done it and we should have finished with a clearance could still miss this oh what a kick I haven't had a kick in ages since I've started using this chalk on my table I hardly ever get a kick there's only a tiny one it would have been straight if I hadn't got one but it hasn't made too much difference well the answer was five this week because I couldn't play that much so that wasn't bad I managed to squeeze 500 breaks into this video which means that all that's left to do is find King Punuk who's in Venice in Italy which is there so it was a little bit different this week I thought I made five centuries but it turns out it was only four if you want to see more headcam videos then have a look at these two and thank you very much if you're somehow still watching and remember don't just watch play and make the commitment
