How To Play Snooker Player View / Headcam POV GoPro

Here's what the game looks like from a snooker player's point of view, and I'm going to try to explain the shots I'm playing in as much detail as possible. I'm going to pop this black here by hitting it on the left side. That's going to make the white go to the left as well. If we hit it below the centre we can stun the cue ball up for this red that's a little bit in the way. Next shot we want to leave ourselves straighter on the black than we did last time. So if I can just run this through to a straighter angle on the black. Fraction too far possibly. Yeah so because that red's over on that cushion over there, it's a little bit off the cushion. We're just going to play over there because I'm right-handed. So a little bit left hand side and it will roll through a little bit further that way. It's come off the cushion a little bit so I'm going to have to put it with the rest but it shouldn't be a problem. Ideally that would have just stopped and given us a better position on this red but it's still okay. So if I just roll this through, get down for the black like that. We've got the angle we want again. We're back in good position. So I can just roll this through off the cushion here and end up somewhere where that red is and if I can play it in a way I don't end up touching it. So using a bit of right hand side here to make the cue ball jump to the right of the cushion. Needs to slow down. That's absolutely spot on. Got that top red. Ideally we wouldn't have gone so far but that's absolutely fine. We might just flick the pack here. The angle just might actually allow us to tap that first red. The bottom just missed it. It's okay though. That would have helped us out a bit. That red doesn't go in the middle. So we're going to play through off the cushion up to around that red again so we can be on this red that's just to the right of the cue ball. Just going to play it with a trace of left hand side. Rattled it a little bit. We're actually on that one maybe better. We're on both reds. We're on the red I wanted to be on but if I just stuck on this one I have. I'm just going to tap this through. So anywhere just a little bit closer to the black there. Just have to be careful avoiding playing a push shot but that was fine. Now if I play this with right hand side I can get into this pack and I should be definitely on this red. Let's see if I can get the cannon. I'm just going to play it at a slow speed. Get off the cushion. Just come out this way but it's fine because we're on other reds up here. If it were a bit thicker I'd definitely be on that red. There's almost no way that I wasn't going to be on a red. So I can just play this. There's a slow stun shot so the white's going to drag here. Watch it drag. It should just go top side of the blue. That's ideal. Then we get a little bit further out into the middle of the table. I can play now for these two reds and also this one in the middle at the same time. Stunning down the blue. So even there where I wanted to be about there and I've left it a little bit out of position I'm still on two of the three reds quite nicely. Just seeing the pink pops. That red pops as well which is going to be helpful in a minute. So I've got a shot here where I can leave the black off the cushion or leave it go down past it but the risk with going past it is you might end up straight so I'm just going to leave it short like that. I need to go a little bit further through there. I didn't feel like I got good contact but not too bad I've got lots of options. So that red pops there so I'm going to play the cue back on a line that might hit this red. If it doesn't I've got the one in the middle pocket. If it does I've got that one there so I should be good whatever happens. I've just found all the gaps. We're on the one in the middle pocket not ideally because I thought I had a bit more side on it than that. It was a little bit straighter than I thought possibly. See if we can get this top side of the blue. Difficult pop from this position not guaranteed. I couldn't quite get it topside but that's absolutely fine with two reds down there. I'm going to play for the furthest one so we're in the left side of the blue. This is going to take us down the table a little bit. Under hit that as well. It's two shots in a row of under hit. So I might play the other one down for the black. It's not really a problem but could have done with getting on the one I wanted to there. So we're going to pop this and we're just going to play for the black. Dead weight should get us the right angle. Mostly dead weight. That's spot on. So we've got that one that goes again. So we can play on that and we've got the red in the middle. That red possibly goes into this middle. So that's the two I'm sort of playing on here. Mostly the one in the corner but if I leave it too short I've got the other one. I have left it a fraction short there as you can see. We're starting to open things up a bit. So it might be an idea to play for the pink. Well the bottom one goes as well doesn't it. So what we can do is just stun the cue all over then it doesn't have to do very much. Just want to go path straight on the pink. Just the other side is straight. Absolutely perfect. It's exactly where I wanted to be and I can just stun this in basically and I've got the red to the left of where the cue ball is here. So just pop this in. Just come back a little bit. There we go. I'm on this into this pocket and I can play for pink or black depending on which gives me the best options next. For playing around little shots around the pink spot you can do nothing and just quickly get rid of the balls. So I'm going to play for pink next which means I do have to just make sure screw the next pink back. Not a great shot there. Should have been straight on it. So I've got a couple of options I can run it through. I'm worried I'm going to push those reds together and the other one's safe. I can just screw it back like I intended to. Might just nudge the other red as long as I get far enough back. No problems here. Just get far enough back here. Just worried there I didn't push the cue through but it was absolutely spot on. So I've got this easy red now. I can play off the side cushion or screw back. Just got a little bit too much angle so I have to play off the side cushion. I was just wondering if it's too much of a risk to play for the pink here. It goes from everywhere though and both of those reds pop. But it might be better as we've got a red up the table to play for the blue. I'm not sure. So I think we'll play for the pink but it's a bit just got to make sure I get this right. I'm on it but I haven't hit it hard enough which has made it very difficult to get in position now. Didn't really think about that enough. So alternative options. Look at that. That doesn't pass in there. So somehow I've made this very very difficult as to what to play. I can play the blue if I can play it slow enough. I think I can leave the red in this left middle pocket. So just off the bolt cushion in the left middle. Oh no danger about hitting it slow enough. Easily slow enough. Not a problem. Okay hit that a lot harder. I was worried that the cue ball there was going to come down here. That's a danger when it runs away from you a little bit. Starts making every shot harder. However this is pretty good. Should be able to get on the black here just by dropping it in. Drop it in dead weight will be on the black. There we go. Perfect angle. Absolutely spot on. Might be on the pink. I don't think you could get on the pink properly. That means we can use right hand side. Play for those two reds and we've recovered the situation quite nicely. Look at that. So it took a good shot on the blue there to recover our mistake but it's gone quite nicely for us. So we've just got to not do anything stupid here. Now annoyingly where these balls are I could go wrong if I just play for the pink again because if I finish where I am now I'll have a shot back across the table. I think it's easier to just stun this in, play down for the black and play back up to where I am now. So if I'm where I am now next time will be absolutely perfect for the clearance. Just a bit warm today. It's got a bit sticky. Right let's use right hand side then. Put the black, get back up here. Slow down a bit. That's a bit too far but again our plan worked really really well. I just would have liked an angle to go up the table rather than back down for the black because it's going to make it things need a longer distance positional shot but we're okay. So I'm just going to get low on the black. Vital we get the right position here. Absolutely vital. That's absolutely spot on really because you can see with the angle here as long as we pop this we can go up for the yellow. So let's just drop this in, get the weight right so we get close to the yellow. Got the pop. How's the white? Just tracking the yellow. Not too bad. I could actually hit that a bit harder. I thought it was going a bit close to the brown but a fraction harder would be better. Just got a bit sticky. It's a really warm day and it's been damp for a while so let's see if we can get through this nicely now. Screw back a little bit with me on the green. Oh yeah that's screwing back. It's interesting how you do that. You're worried you're not going to hit it. That's definitely come back. So too much angle. We're going to have to use the cushion. Make sure we get through the cue ball and top side of the brown. Bounce. Look at that. That's pretty good. Just want to make sure I stay still enough on these. This is a nice angle because it should be perfect to come back over this side of the table so I don't have to really do much with the cue ball here. Just hit it at the right speed and pop the brown. Hit it at the right speed. I was going for here. Here is unmissable. Right this is where things get a bit interesting. So I'm going to play this with right hand side. What that means is when it hits the top cushion it's going to check back up. We're going to play it with back spin as well. So it's got to get the spin right here. It's going to check back up this way. If it keeps running it's not too bad as long as I can pop this pink and black. So all about just potting it getting off the side cushion here. I was trying to pinch the pocket and I thought I'd overdone it then. Well that's pretty good isn't it. We've got down for the black and I'm just going to try and drop it in dead weight. Gives the pocket every chance of potting because it doesn't roll off too much into this pocket. Just about got away with it. Nearly rolled into the jaw. Well there you go. That's how to make a simple break. Well that was pretty good as I managed to keep the cue ball under control for the majority of that break and I'll probably try it again at some point.
