‘Gotta pot em in order, don’t wanna get trolled’ 😂 made me smile

It's actually really good to see you talking about your errors as it helps us understand how to recover from our own 👍 Keep up the good work Great channel.

They don't need to be in order. You don't want to hit into other reds and move them. It's like a real break. Not many will go perfectly. You have to scramble a little sometimes. It was a nice dish. It's a tricky set to clear. Well done Mick.

Absolutely brilliant stuff Michael! Thank you sooo much! I'm learning so much just watching this and listening closely and sometimes rewinding! For me, it was just great for so many reasons, this kind of insight from a top professional for people like me is gold and makes me feel like we should really be paying for it man

Hi. Very Informative and wonderful video. Please make a video on the backswing of the cue before final delivery (long backswing like Ronnie or Judd and you also) or short backswing (like Ding Junhui) ???

@workrestandplaysnooker Ай бұрын

On black to yellow you played trace of right, I know it was a left cut but would there not have been a better margin for error playing left of centre to play off the side cush? That way the white would be traveling towards the yellow. Top cueing as always 👌🏻

@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching Ай бұрын

Thank you. I could have done but it makes the pot much harder. Playing it like I did made it virtually unmissable. I hit the cue ball too high that’s why it went closer to the cushion than I wanted. All worked out in the end. 😃

@Charlie.c19 Ай бұрын

@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching this is the difference between us amateur/club players and the pros, I think: knowing what margin of error is fine and what's too risky. Years of experience at the top level with give you that, I guess!

@1965deebee Ай бұрын

Magnificent…. Snooker is simply NOT that easy……🤣🤣

@fatroberto3012 Ай бұрын

Wow! If anything shines a light on the difference between professional players and us mere mortals it is this. If I set the balls up like that in our club, any of my team members there would be rolling around the floor laughing.

Practice & knowing where to strike the white would likely be Michael's answer :)

Yes. It’s something I’m aware of and the more I play it seems to disappear. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s could be a few things, probably aiming. It’s impossible for me to help without seeing you. Sorry.

@OliverSG1 Ай бұрын

What using lighter white balls?

@HappyWanderer140 Ай бұрын

@OliverSG1 I was only joking. Obviously, Holt doesn't need hints from anyone. The fact that he fell off the tour is a mystery to me. I think he's massively underachieved

@dhirajpallin2572 Ай бұрын

Michael, do you ever do drills like this, but instead of accepting bad position and playing it where it lies, you re-take any shot that wasn't perfect position and drill in that shot over and over before moving onto the next one? And what do you think about that kind of practice method versus the "play it where it lies" method? P.S. I thought John Higgins' practice routine would be this layout but you have to double every ball :) Thanks for the cool videos.

@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching Ай бұрын

Always play it where it lies. It’s rare you will always be perfect but it’s something you will aim for. Ha! Yes. John could double the lot. 🤣 Thank you. 👍

Notice you actively trying to avoid playing a trace of left on a left cut - i assumed this was just a standard shot in and around the black spot? Do most pros try to avoid that shot then? 🤔

@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching Ай бұрын

Yes. They will avoid the “wrong” side of the cue ball as much as possible. Sometimes they will have to but generally they will stay on the correct side for the shot they are playing. 👍

@Juventinos Ай бұрын

I actually think Stephen could learn a lot from you, he's head is not in the right place, thinking about hand placements and feet and stuff like that, you would simplify a lot of things for him. and maybe the mental part would rub off on you :P win win! you are so good at youtube and snooker it's ridiculous btw.
