Simple Recommendations for Playing Reliable Billiards

By Michael Thiele


Too generally we have the tendency to over-analyze our shortcomings at the pool table, and we overlook the straightforward, simple beneficial hints that could aid us play the game on a far more consistent basis, and to avoid playing the game out of control.

Here are some essential hints, as straightforward as they are, which still bear repeating Determine on how the shot must be made, and stick to your choice. - Shots are typically missed simply because an alternative method is still within the mind, and this can interrupt or cloud your concentration on the shot ahead.

Fix your eyes (most likely your dominant eye) on the point of the object ball, and address only that spot. - Some players have the habit of moving the cue in some other line, and then shifting at the time they deliver the stroke. With this habit, you only boost your chances of failure, since you are permitting too quite a few variables to come into play. Your cue must only move forward and back in a straight line. Don't stroke any shot harder than is truly essential to generate the desired result, hitting the object ball where you intend in order to pocket it, and to bring the cue ball as well as other object balls into position for your next shot. General tough stroking is at times followed by superior position, but it is quite generally luck. Remember that it truly is much more challenging to strike the cue ball accurately whenever you use a tough stroke.

Constantly chalk the cue before attempting any shot. - Because the cue's leather tip is curved, and also the surface of the cue ball is curved, it's only logical that you use some type of abrasive dust (like chalk) to produce a bit far more friction to help keep away from miscues. It also helps tremendously to maintain your cue tip flush with the ferrule with the ferrule along the sides, and to keep a tip with a arc or curvature of a nickel, rounded to give much more steady play and greater control.

Keep your bridge hand perfectly rigid and hold the cue lightly within the fingers of your power hand (gripping hand), slightly back of the balance point of the cue. - Close the forefinger loop around the cue (on the bridge hand) to ensure that it rubs slightly, to ensure that the cue ball might be struck without having the danger of the cue slipping and causing a miscue or a miss. In the event you can lessen as several variables as possible inside your bridge, at the same time as other facets of the mechanical fundamentals, you may enhance your own enjoyment by way of better and a lot more steady play.

Let the weight of the cue do the function, and don't forget to "follow-through" on your stroke. - A forced, rigid poke at the ball only adds to the number of variables, and can frustrate you prior to it is possible to see your successes.

Don't swing the cue sideways in imparting "english". - Maintain the line of the cue's movement parallel to the line of aim, and please keep in mind that a raised or elevated cue butt, especially in strokes which call for english, will impart a masse effect which will curve the path of the cue ball, and likely trigger you to miss your shot. Keep the cue stick level, and you will increase your accuracy.
