Snooker skills at their very best!

How Can You Play Snooker Like Ronnie O'Sullivan?

There are several methods to use in order to increase your ability to play snooker. The traditional method is to put in 10,000 hours of practice time on a table and see how your form turns out. This method usually involves some coaching and watching how other people play. This traditional method causes a player to become as good as the players he surrounds himself with. The challenge of this is that a player ends up becoming as good as everyone that he plays snooker with. In this type of setting, a player can improve quite quickly until he or she reaches a plateau. This plateau then becomes the limit of skill that a player possesses and becomes incredibly difficult to surpass. Only through sheer grit, determination and constant practice can a player get their game up to the next level.

The reason for this is simple. If you can play good enough as everyone else, you end up believing that this is as good as you can become. On the other hand if you played with players who were running centuries very frequently, you would, just through thought vibration, morphic resonance and the influence of the environment on your subconscious mind, end up adopting the skills required to increase your ability and subconscious beliefs about what your snooker playing capabilities are.

This is why the Asians who were in the final 32 of the 2010 World Snooker Championships have been able to play so well. They have been practicing with Ronnie O'Sullivan. Just by hanging around with a genius of the game, will effect your playing ability. You would be able to see and hear how he hits the ball. You would be able to feel his energy and absorb some of his essence. This would have a far greater effect on your ability to play Snooker like Ronnie O'Sullivan than any other method.

Since you can't always have the luxury of being able to play Ronnie O'Sullivan, are there any other effective ways to be able to absorb his essence into your own game?

One of the most effective means to creating change is through subconscious programming. Dr. Bruce Lipton Ph.D and author of the award winning book 'The Biology of Belief' says that 95% of all our behaviour and actions, or MORE, is directly attributed to the programs in our subconscious mind. Bruce Lipton has been a scientist since 1968 and I'm not going to argue with him.
So since our subconscious mind is in charge of at least 95% of what we do, doesn't it make sense to do something with our subconscious mind to improve our Snooker game? Imagine how much better you would play if you could have the Ronnie O'Sullivan subconscious Snooker program in your head. How much better would you play? How much easier would the game be if you hit the ball and thought about the game just like he did? What if you could have this program running on automatic pilot? Is this even possible?

It is possible although our understanding of the human mind isn't good enough to really be able to suck up all of Ronnie's snooker brains. However, there are technologies that exist that allow us to capture some of his ability.

The ways to really capture as much of his playing abilities, comes down to just one thing. And that is to completely influence your subconscious mind with the belief that you can run centuries and knock in 147's. If your subconscious mind had the information programmed into it that believed knocking in tons was easy, you would be making centuries.

Is that hard to believe? Consider this...there are ten year old kids who are knocking in centuries. More and more are doing it every single day. The more we are exposed to more and more people knocking in tons, the greater our belief system will support the idea of doing it ourselves.
Its just like Roger Bannister and the four minute mile. Before him, nobody could do it. After he did it, hundreds of people have been able to do it.

So how can we get this programming into our heads if we're not a ten year old kid?
First of all, the reason kids can learn so much is because between the ages of 2 and 6, children are primarily in a theta brainwave frequency. Theta is the brainwave that allows the subconscious mind to download new information. This is why children can learn 3 languages at once and learn to play pianos, chess and golf. Look at Tiger Woods, Bobby Fischer and Mozart. Are they geniuses? Yes and their parents took advantage of their kids hyper learning state. This hyper learning state known as a hypnogogic trance or a theta brainwave state is what allows them to download all that information.

Since we can't go back to our childhood, what we can do is get our brains into a theta brainwave frequency by means of an entrainment audio. There are several other methods to get into a theta brainwave frequency such as taking a super hot bath or shower. This is why people have so many great idea when they are taking a shower. Their subconscious mind is being accessed and all that subconscious creative information is allowed to flow out due to their brain being in this theta brainwave frequency.

So once you're in a theta brainwave you can learn stuff much faster.

So how does this relate to being able to play Snooker like Ronnie O'Sullivan?

In Snooker-Cybernetics there is a sample module that allows the listener to go into a theta brainwave frequency.

While you are in this hyper learning state, you would hear Ronnie O'Sullivan giving you the suggestions required to play like him.

That would mean your subconscious mind would be programmed while you're in a hyper learning hypnogogic trance just like a kid, while hearing Ronnie O'Sullivan giving you his own personal advice on how to play Snooker like him.

That's one way that you can learn to play Snooker like Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Devin Scannura has interviewed experts in brainwave entrainment, meditation, hypnosis, Emotional Freedom technique, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and more, to figure out how to program the subconscious mind.

Snooker Break - Top 3 Ways to Make Killer Snooker Breaks


A good snooker break can really make the difference in a game and give you great momentum from the get go. I see so many players perform lousy break shots just because... well...they never learned how to make a good one!

To make sure you aren't one of those people, I've decided to share with you my top 3# ways for making killer snooker breaks. Are you ready? Good! Let's dive right in!

Snooker Break #1 - a bit of practice and you got it!
OK so this is a bit more complex than just smashing the little red balls, crossing your fingers and pray for a miracle or a fluke. This shot takes a little practice, but you can catch on to it rather quickly. The idea is to snook you opponent so he will feel frustrated and possibly hate you. OK not really hate you, but hopefully he'll make a foul and you'll be in the lead from the very beginning. Nice huh?
So how do we do it? Place the cue ball between the yellow and the brown ball. somewhere in the middle. now aim at the corner red ball at the right of the table. The cue ball should hit it at it's right quarter (just imagine slicing the red ball to four even pieces, and aim the one most to the right), than hit the cushion behind it, bounce to the right cushion, roll across the table just behind the yellow ball, bounce to the cushion close to you, and than stop behind the brown or yellow ball. I know it sounds EXTREMELY complicated but it's really isn't. Try it!

Snooker Break #2 - Now this is not for beginners...
OK this shot is far more complex, and it's best to perform it in a table not smaller than 10 feet. This shot requires a lot of spin (English or action to some of you) and accuracy. Don't even think about trying it before mastering the premier shot.
So how do we do it? place the cue ball between the yellow and brown ball, a bit closer to the brown ball. Give the cue ball an right-upwards spin (if you don't know how to do this or what spin is, you can read more about it in another article of mine - Billiards Shots Made Easy). aim to strike the same red ball at the same place like the last shot. Your goal here is to (and try to follow me here) make the cue ball hit the red ball, bounce to the cushion behind it, bounce to the right cushion, than bounce to the left cushion just before the blue ball (the spin on the cue ball will cause this), bounce to the cushion close to you, and stop behind either one of the yellow, green, or brown ball. WOW... definitely not an easy shot...

Snooker Break #3 - Kabang!!
OK you got me... This is by far not a killer snooker break, but sometimes you just gotta do it. place the cue ball anywhere you want, aim at one of the center red balls, charge up your right hand and.. ZBANG! Fire that ball like a canon! This is great for blowing off steam after you've been fired or dumped:)
OK so these was 3# killer snooker breaks, hope you've enjoyed it, now go out and practice!

Snooker Training - 3 Unique Tips You Never Thought of to Improve Your Snooker Training


I bet you didn't think of these 3 secret tips for better snooker training, did you? Yeah didn't think so!
These are 100% unique ways to improve your gaming, and you won't find them anywhere else on the web.
So what are you waiting for? Step Inside!

Snooker Training Tip #1 - Consistency is key
"I rather get 1% from 100 different people, than 100% from 1 person." This is a very famous quote by a person which his name I don't remember (If you are that person, I'm sorry for not giving you the credit you deserve:) ), that has nothing to do with snooker.
What I'm trying to say here, is that is better to play 1 hour every two-three days, than to play 2-3 hours straight once a week. This way your mind is getting used to play snooker in his everyday routine, instead of treating it like a random occasion. The physical memory gained by this method is what makes the difference.

Snooker Training Tip #2 - Excuse me, what time is it?
This is a rather interesting aspect of this game. As it turns out, a lot of players are experiencing a variation of their snooker skills during different times of the day. What I mean is, that you can rock the game at morning, and a day after play like a total newbie in the evening.
This is actually something I've been researching lately, and I get some good responses from all types of snooker players. So the next time you feel like "you just don't get it," or the you're "in the zone," look a the time, or try to notice if you're feeling tired, or maybe didn't drink enough that day.
Do this for a couple of weeks, and results may surprise you. They sure did surprise me and my friends.

Snooker Training Tip #3 - Is your partner challenging you?
This may have a HUGE impact on your training time, or as some people like to call it, the "learning-curve." If your snooker partner is not challenging you, you're probably won't make an 100% effort to play the best you can.
Now I'm not saying you shouldn't play with your friends who doesn't know how to hold a cue stick, because after all, snooker is a game for fun and recreation. But, it's important that you engage in games with players of a higher skill, so you'll must really apply yourself to win.

Snooker Skills - Top 7 Ways to Improve Your Snooker Skills, Fast


Snooker skills might be hard to master, especially for newbie players. If you're struggling with your snooker gaming, or if you wish to further improve your skills, this just might be what you're looking for.

Concentrate
This seem trivial, but it really isn't. There is a difference between wanting to make the shot (which we all do), and dedicating yourself to making the shot (which a few of us do). When you play snooker, think snooker.

Relax
Again, not as trivial as it sounds. When you play, try to be as relaxed as you can. The more relaxed you are, the better you'll play. Your mind plays a role in here as well.

Always put chalk
This is a bit of a drag, but very important. Put chalk on your cue's tip after each and every shot. Getting used to it is easier and faster than you might think.

Learn from your mistakes
Robert Kiyosaki, the famous "Rich Dad" series' author, says that he owes his fortune to his life experience, gained mainly from his mistakes. I think it applies to Snooker as well. When you don't make a shot, think about why it happened, and what you can benefit from that experience.

Find a challenging partner
This is one of the most important tips I can give you. It's really important for your snooker skills that you'll find a partner that will make you exceed your limits, so you'll have to really make an effort to give him a decent match. Even if you don't win, you play the best you can.

Think ahead
If you're just learning to play I advice you to focus on the basic skills of the game, but it's a good policy to always think about the next shot, even if you still can't make good English (spin\action) shots.

Keep your eyes on the cue ball
This is a very common mistake I want you to avoid, especially for beginners. After "locking the aiming angle" in your mind, keep your eyes at the cue ball and ensure you strike it where you want to. If you're a beginner, best to strike it just a bit above the center.
