I hope this thread doesn’t go to shit, would really appreciate some good input. I don’t quite finish off enough racks. My game has taken a couple of nice jumps, since I started working on it. Unfortunately, that’s not much of an accomplishment, considering where I was at. For instance, saw the FX Billiards acid test, decided to shoot it. Could barely make an effin ball, got maybe half of them back to the rail. Half hour later, I’m 29 out of thirty, with all of them back to the rail. It does no good, there is no benefit. You don’t have a half hour! How the hell do you get it done, on your first trip?
Nice jumps, is a way to describe pool achievements, nobody ever goes away for a week and comes back a lot better player, even if they went to a pool school.
It takes time to disseminate, and learn to apply new knowledge. Here it is don't miss this part.
Make darn sure you are hitting the cueball where you mean to, and putting on the spin you are trying or not. If you aren't doing this , you are usually wasting your time.
I have watched thousands of people never get better because of those reasons. I did it for years myself.
There are so many instructional videos out there, utilize them.
Get a practice routine that incorporates ,stroke , speed, spin, cuts, banks, position drills . If you are doing it for money, go do something else, you have a better chance at being a major sports figure than a top level pool player. When you get beaten, and you will, ask yourself how they did it. When you win , try to analyze your game vs theirs.IF you play pool , stay away from the snooker and 3 cushion tables until you are semi pro level. It is just too difficult to go back and forth with the size and weight of the balls and how they react when you are just learning.
