Just some observations from years of working with pool players of all skill levels. I believe one of the biggest problems many players have originate directly between the ears. In its most basic form, pool is nothing more than hitting a stationary ball with a stick. Everything that happens on the table is a direct result of how the player moves that stick, using the muscles in his or her arm. My number recommendation to most students is not to over-think the game. Develop a consistent, repeatable stroke and use it. When you do, the ball will go where you are pointing the stick. If you move the stick in a straight line, the entire process is really simple. Spinning the cue ball is a result of where you make contact with the ball. Speed is a result of how fast the stick is moving when it makes contact with the cue ball. Master Angle, Speed and Spin, and everything else falls into place. Cover your A.S.S. on every shot. Don't make the game more difficult than it needs to be.

50-16 or 17 in 15 innings. He told me "I decided to go to my table thinking I can make anything. He ran a 4 then a 3. He says "there's more in the head with this game than you would think"
