@xboxlivegstar11 Hi there Josh, & thanks for the question. Do remember that tip choice is a personal preference nothing more, in this case there is in my opinion a definitive answer. Elks are generally softer than diamonds, so diamonds last longer, that said, some elks can play better than diamonds,as they can have a more sustainable strike due to being cut lower (a trick to make a tip harder) I have searched a box of 50 elks only to find 10 tips suitable, but I’ve not used either for years..

@TheGrimReeper1000 i think maybe you dont drop your hand so your cue is hitting the center of the white therefore it becomes a stun shot, also make sure you follow it through

@RyanWatchesNaruto Hi there, I know this is easy for me to say , but just try to “relax on the shot” ,as too much tension through the arm will cause it all to go wrong. thanks for taking the time to post, & let me know how you get on. cheers.. K

@TheStyxUKHH Hi sam, firstly thanks for the very kind comments.

I have made a few of these videos. Anyway I’ve sent you a video of me making a total clearence , during which, I tell you the ball I’m going to play & how I’m playing it .

example: blue ball, played with slow drag to the center pocket, to leave me a 1/2-ball on the next red.

I hope this is what you need, but please let me know if it’s not quite right for you & I’ll send you another one . cheers, Kevy.

@manns101101 Hi there, It would be unfair of me to tell you how “your” perticular tip should feel, that is down to preference, but I can tell you that if a snooker tip is soft then it is useless.

Here is my simple rule of thumb, if a tip can’t perform a full range of shots within 15 minutes of fitting , then it is not suitable for snooker.

These are to be played to the maximum extreme that “you” can play.
STUN, STUN-RUN, TOP, BOTTOM(SCREW), FULL-SIDE

this is a very touchy subject…K

should your cue tip feel harder or more spongier? I just installed a mike wooldridge supertip (non laminated) and it feels a little hard (but I wouldn’t know)?

@scouserdan3 Hi Danny, that’s really cool. Anyway I have sent you a video to watch to show shot selection / breakbuilding , it’s a total clearence, so should be of some use to you.

I will make a new video showing how & where to split the pack from the blue, I have to make a new one because the original seems to be failing to play.

It will be the same as my original, basicly playing from 1/2-ball & 3/4 blue positions into the top of the pack/pink, this must be played with control…K

hey kev… i have been playing snooker since i was 7 and im not 18.. and i am quite a good player at the minute with a highest break of 64..could u make a vid on showing me how u break build? because im not to good at the whole developing the reds thing.. my average break is like.15.. and then once the opponent develops the reds i can clear up haha… if u could show me ways of gettin from blue and smashing the reds.. or black and smashing the reds it would really help…. thanks alot danny

@kuskzf hmm.. if ur stunning it.. your either not pushing your cue through the ball enough or hitting it to high, a different tip wont stop u stunning it.. try hitting lower on the ball and ensure u follow ur cue smoothly through instead of jabbing it good luck mate and hope u get better at snooker

@kuskzf Hi there, read some of my replys I have posted below & then watch the video again, it should be fairly easy to get the cueball to screw back, but let me know if you continue to struggle. Also I have sent you another video which will explain in a less complicated way. cheers Kevy.

heya, does a cue tip make a difference? because i tried screwing back and i tried shooting through the ball i tried putting my bridging hand closer i tried laying my bridging hand flat on the cloth…yet….i keep playing a stun instead of screwing……

im new to snooker so i hav much to learn, but wat i think is that the cue tip isnt giving good enough friction wen contacting the cue ball……..got any expertise advice?

@BoogMaxi Hi there, short answer, No. If you look very carefully you will notice the tip strikes only one tip below center ball, also the chalk you can see on the cloth is coming from the cueball after striking it with the tip, watch the line being left by the cueball & not the tip on the cloth. The point to remember is to make sure the tip accelerates through the cueball,. it must be moving forward at it’s fastest when the tip strikes the cueball. start slow & finish fast with the cue…K
