Cue School welcomes a giant amongst coaches (literally). The man with the biggest smile in the game - especially after his player has won the world title!!!
Cue School meets Del Hill...

Where do you coach? |
I coach all over the world - sometimes it makes more sense for me to go where the client is. But I do have my own facility - The Snooker Farm in Friskney, Lincolnshire. It's ideal to get a load of hard work done and then relax with a bit of fishing, which helps to build that relationship between player and coach. |

Around 50% of the top 64 professional players at one time or another. Also work with amateur players around the world. I enjoy developing the ability of junior players and seeing them turn hard work into results, like the current Junior Pot Black champion, Mitchell Mann. |

Hmmm, winning the odd frame off some of the best players in the world during our training sessions. I have won a couple of tournaments in local leagues but that’s about it! |
