Lesson 1 - The ``honeymoon`` Phase
This first episode in our fun and light-hearted “til Snooker do us Part…” series covers the basic fundamentals of learning to play Snooker – Stance, Bridge and Grip. Watch as WPBSA Level 2 coach David Puddy coaches his Wife & Snooker beginner Kristina Puddy during the 2020 COVID-19 lock-down.
lesson 2 - The ``adjustment`` phase
As in any Marriage after the Honeymoon comes “the Adjustment Phase” and with Snooker its very similar. After the initial introduction of lesson 1, and working on practicing the fundamentals for a week, now comes the next step which is to apply those techniques in more realistic situations in order to grow the excitement, but as we know this does not always happen right away………..
lesson 3 - The ``great escape`` phase
Phase 3 of a marriage is sometimes called “the Great Escape”. This is where a relationship is tested, and the work really begins. Lesson 3 in this series emulates this phase in the “marriage” between Player and Table.
Will the initial passion be replaced by frustration…….?.
