Key to playing better pool
- Thread starter alstl
- Start date
Such a loaded question. It's many things.
You have to seek the knowledge.
You need to put in the practice.
Discipline.
Develop mastery, that is a knowing of you can do this shot, the whole shot w the leave.
Above all else is a passion for the game.
Each one of those has multiple facets.
Where you limit yourself is when you skip or don't do enough of one of those.
I put in tons of practice when I got back into pool about ten years ago or more. Got much, much better. But it wasnt until I consistently played better people that my ability grew.
That was a gaining of knowledge and apply that straight into practice. My philosophy is, if the game isn't for money, it's practice.

Might just be the best possible answer!
Can't answer the poll, but I like the responses.
Most players are not able to figure out their own weaknesses. They will get better faster with some help.
Bingo! We have a winner, in my opinion. Why isn't this one of the optional answers!!??
Lighter grip=More accurate follow through
Honestly tid bits like these are guiding my game. I move from one to the other, they come from books, players, instructors, lesser ranked players (excellent overlooked source of info). The one above came from a snooker manual. It's got me currently on a 6 match win streak

Well you need to decide whether you want to be a once a week player playing in APA ---
Or do you want to be a real player and spend hours a day perfecting the game.
One thing that will make everyone a better playing is to stop missing close and-----
and just put the ball in the hole.
