Q. I have been playing snooker for two years. Reading the Tutorial section and forums frequently a made a practice plan for myself. I defined goals (as milestones). My first goal was to pot all the six balls from yellow to black. My second goal was to pot five reds (randomly placed between pink and black spot) with black or pink.I have made it before the deadline. My practice routine is that I must make these two goals every day before start practicing the third goal. (pot five reds with colour and make the clearance from yellow to red in one break) It should be become easier and easier to make the first two goals because I make it every day but unfortunately not! Sometimes I make the six ball clearance at first attempt but other days the success comes only after the...

Q. I always seem to miss the ball on the same side i always overcut , my right eye is dominate but it does not seem comtable moving the cue further to the right. I have been trying to line up the shot and then compensating for the over cut, any tips on how to line up the corect potting angle?

Q. Maximumbreak, I love this site! Its amazing! Hopefully I will improve my game with your help. I have a technical question. I am 5 foot 4 inc tall, right handed, and have been playing this games for over 15 yrs without any dramatic improvement, making breaks of 20s only usually. On every shot making, I would walk into the shot, placing my right foot at a 45 degree angle to the line of shot, and my left foot pointing parallel to the line of shot and at about 7 oclock in relationship to the right foot (if right foot is at 6 oclock). I keep my right leg straight and left leg slightly bend. I keep my feet shoulder width wide. From these stances, I am now experimenting with 2 different upper body approaches to the shot, with similar efficiency/ failures. Please tell me which one is correct, if any.
