Playing pool is one of the most popular past times there is. There is a radio commercial I heard recently that uses the line “how can a table with six holes be so perfect”. That sums it up. Pool is fun, challenging, and frustrating same time; all the hallmarks of a great game. We have all seen the movies with the smoky bars and mean looking guys shooting pool and hustling unsuspecting people out of their money or the tournaments on ESPN with people who are impossibly good at the game. While these images can be unsettling for the new player, the truth is that it’s a game that almost anyone can be good at. This article will give a few tips to help people who are new to the game.
One of the first things I would suggest is to get your own pool stick (also called a cue). I wouldn’t spend a whole lot of money on your first one (keep it around $100) but I think it is important to have your own cue. One of the most important aspects of any game or sport is consistency. My theory is that if you have your own cue that aspect of your game remains consistent. If you rely on the “house cues” provided by the pool hall you never really know what you’re getting. House cues are often warped, the tips are usually in terrible shape, and the weight listed on the cue (if you’re lucky enough to find one that has a weight listed) may or may not be accurate. How exactly to choose a beginning pool cue is a subject for another article but I would suggest visiting a local pool supply store and trying out a few different weights and sizes to see what is comfortable.
It is easy to be overwhelmed by all of the things that make a good pool player. The best thing is to concentrate on a few things, master those, and then move on to more advanced techniques. I would concentrate on your bridge, keeping your head down, and following through your shot.
First thing is your bridge. The bridge is how you hold your hand on the table; it’s the area you slide the cue over when shooting at the ball. The bridge keeps the stick steady during the shot. Place your hand flat on the table then pull your fingers towards your wrist and spread them out somewhat. Your index finger will point down toward the table and kind of back towards you; your other fingers will fan out behind it. This makes your hand very steady since there are multiple points of contact with the table. Your thumb will naturally lift up when you are spreading your fingers. You should pin it to the top of your index finger, creating a kind of channel between the top knuckle of your index finger and the inside of your thumb. This channel is where you will slide the cue through. This type of bridge will not work for every shot on the table, but it will work for most of them. Practice making this bridge a few times and then practice sliding the stick back and forth in the channel in a smooth and gently motion.
The next two areas go together because they are more of a discipline thing. Just like in golf, it is important to keep your head down and follow through when you are making a shot. These are two of the hardest things for new pool players to do. Our instinct is to pick our heads, and body, up the instant we hit the ball to see where it went. It is important to resist that temptation because it will almost always alter the trajectory of your shot; you actually start lifting up before the ball is hit (in anticipation of watching the ball go in the pocket). You should keep your head and body in the same position until you either hear the cue ball hit or a ball drops in a pocket. Following through the ball goes hand in hand with staying down. It is important to push your stick all the way through the shot. Pretend you are trying to skewer the cue ball like a martini olive and push your cue stick past where the cue ball is and keep it there until the shot is over. Doing this and keeping your eye on the spot where the cue ball was (i.e. keeping your head down) will vastly improve the accuracy of your shot. If you can master the discipline of these two things, all of the other techniques you learn later will work that much better. My first pool coach had a mantra he said multiple times at every session; he’d say “Focus, stay down, and follow through”. It really helps.
There are many more aspects of a good pool shooting technique such as the hold, glide, stance, cue ball control and shot selection. Those are all very important but like I said earlier just pick a couple of things to concentrate on at first. The most important thing to remember though is to relax and have fun. The more relaxed you are the better your shot will be. After all, playing pool is supposed to be fun; if it isn’t, go do something else. Life is too short.

is it too late to appologise?
my so called friend attacked me on a trip last week, he pinned me to a wall (female btw) and put the pool cue to my throat, and when i managed to throw him off he blamed me- i actually honest to god did nothing to him. he is being a complete anus behind my back saying it was my fault, but to be honest all i want is an appology. but its gotten to the point where id actually like to push him off a cliff and never see him again. am i overreacting or is it really too late to appologise?
cheers!
im female- im not sure what gender the wall was, i didnt really have the time or feel the need to ask!!
It sounds as if u have been through a traumatic experience. All u can do is some soul searching if u honesty think that u have done nothing wrong then u must stick to your guns. He must apoligise to u and if he doesn’t then just get on wi ya life! sometime he may realise that he is out of order and apoligise and i guess then it will be up to u as to whether u accept or not. personally mate i dont think u r overacting it sounds as if u have got a high self esteem and in this hard life that is not a bad thing!
Another great place to shop for pool cue pin products is Amazon. They have more than just books!
