Snooker Practice Live Test How’s Sound Picture?

all right so just trying to do some practice at the moment is the point there is no other point what we're doing it's just checking the Sound Works anyone who was uh I tried this a few weeks ago but um my microphone wasn't working so um well it was working I don't know what was wrong with I was just using the standard microphone of my camera which usually works for everything and uh yeah it didn't didn't actually do anything so hopefully now we're getting somewhere with it I can't guarantee that but let's give it a try and see what happens I'm just basically doing some practice for a bit see uh how this all works hi everybody that can see I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to read comments but all sounds good yeah I basically um I was using I've got a bit of a cold as well which is why I sound terrible but nearly missed that I've got a bit of a cold but um I was using the standard microphone off the camera and for whatever reason that sounded like it was scratching against something people thought it was actually rubbing up against something it wasn't but it was it was just something that was making it sound like that so I've now had to stick another microphone on top of it which is making it even heavier which isn't good but other than that seems to be working so I just thought we'd do this so I can actually do some practice and see uh how it goes and that's the only real point to this and uh because obviously I can't set up too much with uh with this camera set up it's not easy to have a camera that's not wired into anything so I wouldn't be able to walk around the table if it wasn't oh miss one I wouldn't be able to walk around the table if it wasn't wired into my uh if it was wired into my head so see if we get any slowdowns in a minute it was going a bit I've tested it a few few times and occasionally it was going blurry but uh yeah I just want to see if we can do a bit of practice and clear the table a few times possibly I do um I haven't been playing a lot because it's the middle of the summer so uh do need to get back into things a bit see what's anyone saying so all sounds good only move short distance why I don't hang on let's see uh yeah I have to get used to reading comments a bit quicker than that but see if we can uh answer a few questions going along I don't know if we can or not but we'll give it a go see if we can remember how to play the game the good thing is it does put me under a little bit more pressure so it's a tiny bit more like a match as I would be cuz uh if I was just poting them on my own I wouldn't really be thinking about it but knowing someone was actually watching makes it makes a little bit more of a difference it just feel feels like you're playing a game more in a club then you would be uh just practicing on your own which is good right let's see uh what I can put here the trouble is and this the problem the last time I had is I don't know what to say next because it's like right that's that's what's happening and so I might as well just pop the balls right going up for that red above the black getting it a bit hard at the moment still going okay trying to get back into it because it's been a bit hit and miss really because everything's finished for the season I haven't been playing in a lot of tournaments in a while re really because um of how much everything where I live everything's closed down since Co so uh yeah just doing what I what I can really which which isn't a huge amount but things are starting to come back now which is good let's see we can actually put this I've missed that haven't I yeah this definitely need right and I'm sorry I sound like this I've had this for days I was supposed to be recording part of a video today and I realized I couldn't do it just sounding like this yeah I can't edit out the misses of this which is good all right be lucky to make more than a 40 break at the moment the way this is going even with this but uh I will get there not with shots like that but we will get there oh just been such a long time before since I've really been doing much so uh oh God all right let's get back to uh actually getting control of the cuble I'm not it's not that far away from missing yeah only just a little bit out on few short to wreck and give it at 20 minutes it should be all right right hopefully by the end of this I can get back to sounding normal just had a cold that won't go away the last week and it's been really annoying of basically doing this at this time of the day because I think is when uh the internet works best down here the trouble is getting internet into this room or getting Wi-Fi into this room isn't easy so uh even though we've got quite good signal or got um quite good speeds getting it into this room is the challenge so uh let's see if I can actually put this red along the cushion next yeah trying it this time of the day see if we can actually get back to playing a little bit all right no difficulty there get through the rest of them now to do anything silly actually quite happy with this sort of easy short some podding for a minute it's going to be when I start having to play anything a little bit harder or you know faster which what I mean by that not necessarily more difficult left that a little bit thin haven't I got away with it all the balls are going on there so see what I can do is I can play for the black again won't last too long but I re I it here it's gone a little bit far A little bit difficult just going to pop it the side again nice and slowly there we are back in nice position pretty good right let's just screw back a little bit okay going up good thing about this type of shot is once you've got confident with it I shouldn't say it before I play it but it starts to make everything a little bit easier that R and in the middle if you're trying to pop blacks every time is always a hardest I think if we're on it now get rid of it just get back through the g go on the other side of the table this time cuz it's a little bit more straightforward got to remember it this hard enough cuz it's less angle than I've had the last few shots yeah I still under it it didn't I don't think it's going to be a problem on the next sh where I'm going to be for the black that's running quite straight I thought I thought we'd sort of dive down to the jeel when I usually play that shot but it turns out it doesn't right let's see we can just drop it in get back got for these Reds just not hitting them I wanted to be in the middle of them not that that's not absolutely perfect but it's almost like I don't want to hit it any harder let's just go back a bit that's way too thin right remember to actually pot it y That's in R by the blue right trouble is I'm going to have to play this one now cuz it's got to the point where you're going to be disappointed if I play another color isn't it see oh good God that is how much I'm struggling at the moment should have not even a difficult shot right it's getting there at least we're clearing off of them it just getting there oh dear hopefully by tomorrow I'll feel a little bit better we have to talk normally again feeling all right it's just a sound terrible that's probably why I'm coming across a bit quiet although I did not I've turned my microphone off about as high as it goes cuz I did notice it sounds really quiet all right let's just be a bit sensible now we just all I'm really trying to do is clear the table I'm not really trying to get blacks every time we're on the uh awkward one in the middle perfectly to start off with it's a hard it's not necessarily A Hard pot it's just a hard positional shot just got to get in the rhythm of things get back into uh just queuing smoothly just feeling it's when you start getting worried about shots and I haven't really had that yet but might do on this one because be very accurate with this P it smoothly that's the sort of shot I'm using since last year I'm using a lot longer back swing on and I never over screwed it but it it just makes it feel a bit more confident on them right that wasn't very good was it so dig this one out up for the blue that's a lot better starting to see see the angles there's two sort of things you need to get right like queuing well and seeing the angles the queing are okay it's just I'm 99% over with the angles at the moment right let's get back on the pink temperature about right in I want to get to that's a trouble you don't notice until you stick this sck a camera on your head how heavy everything now everything and how quickly the heat starts becoming a factor with everything so you actually got to keep quite cold before we do something like this which I completely forgot about so if it gets any hotter St I don't know how long the battery will last as well got lot plugged into this camera at the moment and we're starting to get there feel pretty confident on stuff which is exactly the sort of thing you'd say before missing this red isn't it P it there yeah as you find that quite handy as uh practicing you know how you're going to feel in a game if you can actually talk yourself out of poting a ball and still po it it's uh could be handy when you get into a game when you're thinking a bit negatively about things right can't be in better position see if we can uh get up this side yeah I want I wanted to be up there with that those are the ones where I just I'm spinning them all right but I'm not quite getting through them hard enough it's almost like I'm quit well I'm not quitting on them a bit but anyway it's okay cuz we just po this got my pink put it a bit wide a pink go should go didn't set it up not to go but you know things usually happens you see that's the sort of shot that when things aren't going well you can just hit straight so it's starting to get back into the flow of things a little bit now that goes top size blue it did right let's go down past it right probably should have look what people are saying what table do I have it's I don't know what table I have it's just a standard snooker table that desperately needs a new cloth I say desperately it's getting to the point where it needs a new cloth now what am I doing with this let's play back for the pink um yeah it's starting to get a bit worn so I've got all the stuff over the other side of the room now wow when you Quee really queue that well I got all the stuff over that side of the room to sort out at some point so I'm going to do that first and then get the uh cloth done cuz I'm trying to got the insulation done we're just trying to soundproof it a bit because every time it's really quiet at the moment luckily but every time a car drives by you really hear it oh how about this oh you can't believe I missed that can right well I don't know how that went wrong but it's definitely getting there it's only a few silly positional mistakes we're going doing at the moment which do disappear over time right I'm going to clear this before by the end though it's definitely going to have we should have a problem with that too much because normally speaking I expect this to to uh I don't know how many times I was going to say one and three but it probably is a little bit much to get everything so get to the colors one and three I think but uh it's just the odd silly positional short like over screw that pink when I just queued it better than I thought I could right let's see how I can stop over hitting things under hitting things okay I've been bit of an awkward position here I don't want to come too far back like that so I'm now digging down off the cushion you see you just do something silly like that and you've left yourself a shot you can miss got it that's pretty good but yeah you just got to middle of nowhere on these two Reds top one's no good this one's off straight the wrong way I'm just going to see if I can avoid the jeel running around off two cushions at about slow speed that's about as good as I could have done it I think I missed the Dual although I don't know where this is going now got a red little pot in the middle of the table as long as I can just nudge this black in got the black White's not nor Black's in right that's how to make it way too difficult it's got a really C and Nice Shot now that where I am with my hand on the cushion it's good very well go right in the middle of the pocket Will Make Me Miss by an absolute mile yeah there we go never maybe I should have put my hand on the table there I'm not sure all right going to have to get controlled of the CU a little bit right let's get through this that's a trouble if I was playing a few games at the moment or a little bit more than I was in the middle of the Season wouldn't be thinking so much about this it just be a lot more straightforward right just make sure I leave the right angle on this rad see that's a trouble should be there now I've gone too far I have to play this bottom one that little bit of lack of control makes things a little bit harder not this should be too much of a problem once you get really hold of the cube all you know know exactly where it's going off every shot half of it it's just confidence then uh you can deal with it pretty easily just gone off wrong straight the wrong way so I'm going to try and use the cushion here this is the sort of shot I usually try to avoid but we're going to use a lot of back swing C through it nicely that's not bad it's better than if I just stunned it where it was and left a finish short so let's just drop this black in dead weight pretty much you really can start thinking about things too much what I'm not thinking about is what everybody's been saying in the chat but I haven't really had time to get twisty Chevrons yeah it is an issue did you come here at the right time I don't know there's a digger coming by so I don't know what's going on really they're doing a lot of building work nearby so everything wow CU that right didn't I so every now again something huge Drives By usually right in the middle of me filming something after to stop and wait for them to go by for about 10 minutes so I'm doing that a lot at the moment just you half stunning the ball instead of running it through we're still pulling them cleanly which always helps just going to play around the pink now I think just to make sure thing's a little bit it's like I said I'm not trying to do anything special here just po the balls all right use the black again we're just leave a thin one to him I like this sh a lot because it just it's very very easy to just play and get back up the table h right in the middle supposed to go a bit further I said it was easy to get the table for just run through that black again then missed it that's incredible I was trying not to hit the pink ah one thing's clear I definitely need a lot more practice I don't think we can doubt that for a second did I putp anything that one pocket no right I'm not actually playing that badly but it's uh here we see how it goes let's get up all of the Cub now got the one in the middle it's getting warm yeah some someone saying twist my queue a little bit on the way through which has always been a thing but I can't do much about it though somebody could have been pointing out that the uh sort of weird way weird angles of my queue they somebody saying the Chevron bits do do sort of go that way across my queue from like a right to left position but it's always a bit weird looking at it so I don't look at it that much but my God I think I was looking at it that was that was what happened right am I actually going to pop over you always get to this stage you think you're doing it right and then you struggle for about 20 minutes I don't want to do that today so see if we can get back into it I have a feeling my hat is dropping down I got the camera on so I'm just going to go like that and hopefully it's in the right place still seems a bit better right let's go there goes something else big delivering whole Fleet of vehicles along the road I'm just feel a bit Twitchy on some shorts which I mean I'm just not queing them smoothly I'm just stabbing them a little bit that one one of them that's quite good a little bit shter than I wanted to be right up the top with a bit of left hand side SP on feeling pretty confident on the those sort of shots at the moment so which is good I should be really they're not that difficult it's I say I'm feeling confident when the balls over the pocket I am happy with it that's it ping them along the cushion like that is uh seems to be going okay seem to be seeing the angles right 90% of the time just every now and again playing the oldd silly shot but just They isn't actually that far out it's a little bit more consistency and things will be a lot better I did what what what's happened with that that's the second one it's caught me out with the way it rolls I think it's rolled it's definitely rolled to the jaw but that's really caught me out there's the other rad right hit them a bit harder going to have to pop something soon things are going a bit trouble is you don't this is what kind of happens people just practice absolutely hours like this and you're only really playing well a couple of days later right let's get back on this below the black Scot camera is definitely slipping down isn't what's happening is my head's getting a bit sticky camera's sliding down hopefully it's okay where it is now bit worried about playing the shot slow so I'm not going to S hour over there okay all right nice angle nearly went too far but one trouble is it might leave us a bit straight for the Black Rolling it in but there not a lot I can do about that oh no we spot on just Nick the near jeel but we're okay everything up the table to sort out get rid of the uh awkward ones along the cushion leave this one to open up a gap so you can get uh see I'm cing quite nicely that was that was another inch or so further than I one or probably a couple of ball lengths further than I wanted it's just not playing that short hard enough regularly keeping it slow it's dropped nicely so I can just run up for the blue that's other shot again I was saying just stuning it sometimes not that it should be a problem um just thinking CL between brown and green they're not lot side no a lot aside that was tons that's not help does it just trying to use a little bit of side right see if we can actually pop anything not yet the regular shots don't actually feel like I'm poting anything oh it's a think we going to go a bit wobbly on the stream a bit all yeah quite a bit Sor if it looked yeah it is at the moment if I'm not pting them well enough God this is hot I knew the temperature was going to be an issue and yet I still put the heating on at the start what was I thinking right cannot get to the end yet okay let's just get split one of the hardest bits is just this is what this really helps with you at this stage is just keeping focus on everything because at this stage you start forgetting what you're doing and just missing shot after shot now you've been playing for little bit of time I would normally be practicing something else I'm trying to get through these at the moment I'm still struggling a little bit so I'm not right up the middles one that trying to get close to it but didn't want to nudge it is them okay a little bit short it's pretty good to just got to get rid of this at some point yep didn't any harder than that that's spot one is still not 100% confident I've got the accuracy right too far away it's probably uh not the these types of shots should been practicing at the moment but either way that's what we're doing right going up for the one below the pink quit on it a little bit instead we'll play this one for the blue right make sure we get nice high on it it's definitely going high there we go I run it through only saying that cuz I don't have to walk around the table to take the blue out yeah that's going well well I do but have to walk back again right the the voice is getting there I can tell you that right just going to drop down for that red going further than I thought was going to used a bit of right hand side there and it ended up so I think I had it slower it ped it a little bit thinner really cue this nicely to hold for the blue that's not bad bit of a stab but it's going quite nice don't know which I got an angle I think I have right just going to get up for the top side there we go and nice and easy nothing difficult really have the general feel of most shots still got all the awkward Reds left that's the uh it's the annoying thing I'm not sure the playing for the blue is the right thing to do here but I'm doing it it's perfect I think the shot may have been to play through for the black or whatever was worried about getting the wrong angle on it okay let's get uh got to get straight is on the black so we can get rid of the last Red don't want to go too far definitely oh I have haven't I making this hard work all right got the one in the middle pocket then that's the other awkward red next to the Pink Spot on I think sure I'll guess I'm going through the pink because I don't if I come back I don't know if I'll have the right angle adjust that's pretty good cuz I can run this through should be able to get on the red if I've hit it yeah that's short isn't it that's annoying all have to do is hit it hard enough I felt quite confident about it really right let's jum to the cannon then not horrific especially where we are on the pink see if we can just stab in yeah I've not being able to get near a clearance I felt Twitchy on that one but we're on online so just stabbed it in uh I don't know if I'm going to miss the blue so if I am I just P it I think I am P it on and off the bolt cushion yeah look how well this is gone that it's perfect right we finally got to the colors took way too long it's going to take a bit of time to get into it I'm going to have to do more practice like this so I'll see how it works I'll see how the playbacks works and I'll uh do something like this again if I can get it sorted I don't know if I can do any more about the internet speed which is the main problem I got down there but I think it's been fairly okay I might have to if it's a problem I might have to lower the quality but I think it's been all right just drop on the brown a little bit short there's always a shot I like the least on the clearance because I usually just slightly hit it thick if I'm not playing well I've overcut it haven't I oh how much did you see how much I got away with that I think it rolled in even as well well I'll take it it's got to get topid of the pink missed it wow well I didn't see any of this coming but not too bad unfortunately for that disaster ideal somebody sent me an email with some tips which is good it is a full-size table and I proably think you just seen me miss that so yeah um I'm not I'm struggling to pop the do the lineup at the moment but we're going to yeah thanks for all the comments everyone I'm going to be doing this again at some point but uh how did I miss the blue I don't know what's happened but uh yeah thanks for everybody for watching and I'll see how it works and we'll try and set this up again at some point see you later everybody right let's
