Matt Andrews

In this episode we talked with Matt Andrews about how our mindset can affect (positively and negatively) achieving success - whatever that is for you.   We will be digging more into the debate on whether "you either have it or you don't" or you can develop skills good enough to become who you want to, even if you aren't naturally gifted.   If you sometimes have negative thoughts about if you can do something, or you doubt yourself and failure destroys your self-esteem and confidence - YOU MUST NOT MISS THIS.

#016 Ash Hugill: Getting A Pro Tour Card

When was the last time you went out and played? I bet you thought playtime was just for kids?  Well, just as kids learn through play, so can snooker players learn great technique through playing games. Learning does not have to be boring. In fact, you are more likely to learn more about great technique in cue sports through games. In this Q School coaching episode Rob reveals how you can vastly improve your skill in cue sports by learning through games.  Rob gives his take on the four levels of competence that you can move through to reach your snooker goals:  Unconscious incompetence Conscious incompetence Conscious competence Unconscious competence  Rob shows how it is the snooker coach’s job to help their student initially into stage two and then quickly build them into a point where they are aware of what they are doing wrong in their snooker game. Finally, the coach helps the student build their skill to the point where they are competent in their cue sports without being conscious of it. Rob emphasises the importance of coaching to help you through these stages and encourages listeners to attend his masterclass at the end of March.  See the Resources section below for the link for tickets Show your support to The CueZone Podcast via patreon.com and get early access to each new episode, free resources through an exclusive group and the chance to be at the live recording of our season finale.

#015 Cue School: Learning Through Games

Dennis Taylor

Tune in to hear the legendary Dennis Taylor talk about his passion for snooker.  Dennis chats to host Rob Reed about snooker in the 60s right up to the present day.  Hear how he got his start in Ireland at age 9.  Listen as he tells the tale of working 12 hour days to then go and practice snooker for hours into the evening.  And look out for the exciting tale of how in 1974 he quit his job and with £270 in the bank and two small children in tow, he paid his way and flew to Canada to end up beating snooker legend Alex Higgins! Dennis gives his insight into the modern game and compares it to snooker back in the day. He also has quite a lot to say on the best players of our time and how he sees the connection between the change in snooker equipment with the change in how the modern game is played.

#013 How to Get Better Than Anyone Else

Antoni Tuniewicz

In this week’s episode, Rob Reed speaks to Antoni Tuniewicz one of the owners of the Tradewell Snooker Club in Hull. Antoni is passionate about cue games; snooker in particular.  He is a strong advocate for people enjoying snooker while they learn how to play it really well and is a WPBSA World Snooker trained coach.  Antoni believes atmosphere is key in a snooker hall.  No more bleak and dreary clubs filled with smoke; Antoni has transformed Tradewell into a welcoming environment through the use of innovative lighting where people from all walks of life are welcomed. For Antoni, it’s paramount that players have a fantastic time playing snooker and he goes the extra mile to make cue sports attractive to everyone; from teenagers to 78 year old cue sport enthusiasts. Antoni is from a military background and he talks about his transition from the military to the snooker world and his vision of what a snooker club should be.  Show your support to The CueZone Podcast via patreon.com and get early access to each new episode, free resources through an exclusive group and the chance to be at the live recording of our season finale.

Rob Reed conducts a one-to-one coaching session with his student Jack who has been playing for many years getting breaks of up to 80 but he has never been able to crack that century break on the snooker table.  Recently, before Jack came to see Rob, he dedicated himself to improve his cue action and learning technique; but, like many players, he had tweaked part of his technique which ended up working against the rest of his game.  The result was a massive drop in consistent breaks and even failing to pot balls he could pot before. In this episode Rob shows how he assesses technique and what he does to tweak it for the desired improvements.  He illustrates how different techniques can impact player’s shots.  He points out that it is the basics, even for top level snooker players, that help improve technique.  Looking for those small tweaks can have a massive impact on your game. He works with Jack to properly correct his technique with a focus on consistency and confidence.

Rob talks about how he got into snooker, thanks to his dad, how he turned to snooker when working in Germany and how the sport proved a form of escapism when he hit mental health issues. Snooker can be a great sport for personal development and self-understanding, he says, and became his “reset” time to help him learn how to address and manage his mental health.

#004 Rob Walker: Getting The Boys On The Baize

Host and snooker coach Rob Reed talks about pre-shot routine in this live-recorded workshop for the World Disability Billiards and Snooker (WDBS) body, talking to a mixture of able-bodied and disabled players aiming to improve the consistency of their game. Whatever routine you have, says Rob, it must be consistent, setting you up for every shot so you deliver the cue the same way every time and get the result you want every single time. A system is possible for everyone: you’ll change it - from before a shot all the way to delivering the cue - to suit you, whether standing or in a chair, he says. If you miss a shot, he adds, “I almost guarantee you it’s because you’ve not done part of, or all of, your pre-shot routine.” Get involved with The CueZone Podcast: join the Facebook community to ask any questions or give your feedback.

#003 Cue School: Pre-Shot Routine

Gary Filtness

This very special podcast is The CueZone’s first ever guest podcast, with snooker coach and ex-professional player Gary Filtness, and is dedicated to the memory of Billy O’Connor. Teen prodigy Billy died in 2015 after a four-year battle with cancer, having raised money for Teenage Cancer Trust the previous year in a 24-hour snooker marathon while undergoing chemotherapy. He was sponsored by Grove Leisure Academy, of which Gary is head coach. Gary tells The CueZone he got into coaching after suffering the “dreaded yips” (an unexplained loss of fine motor skills in seasoned athletes) and having to retire as a professional. His son Jack, now 25, had been playing since the age of nine with Sean O’Sullivan but decided he was no longer into the game - but some of his fellow players and their parents persuaded Gary to coach kids such as Billy. Gary explains why traditional snooker halls are dying and the amateur game is struggling, how patterns are important to snooker and why Judd Trump needs to get a move on if he’s going to make world champion.
