Mastering Snooker

Daily Practice and Strategic Thinking for a Smarter, Stronger Game

David Horrix

Mastering Snooker is a science-driven training system designed to elevate your game – from beginner to seasoned competitor – through structured daily practice and powerful psychological principles. WPBSA snooker coach, David Horrix, shares 100 training exercises divided into four progressive blocks – Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Professional. This targeted system of daily drills will give you the edge to perform under pressure. Every drill mirrors real match conditions, integrating pressure, tactical awareness and mental resilience to prepare you for true competition. Before embarking on the training blocks, learn to assess your current standard of play using a unique and practical self-evaluation system – one that can be repeated throughout the book to track genuine improvement. With guidance on the four essential shots, two crucial techniques and a practical approach to progressive skill building, you’ll be equipped to train intelligently and efficiently. From daily practice structure to advanced strategies used by top performers, Mastering Snooker delivers everything needed to build confidence, consistency and competitive strength. David Horrix is also author of The Complete Book of Snooker Shots and co-author of 147 Snooker Drills and Exercises (both Crowood).
