Top 5 Tips For Pool Players | Pool School

In this video I discuss my top 5 tips for pool players. These are common mistakes I often see with beginners and once corrected can improve your pool game fast. Even some more experienced pool players can get these things wrong and it's important to correct these bad habits in your game before trying to grasp some of the more complex elements. The shots are carried out on a 7ft Supreme Winner UK 8 ball table, but the principles behind these tips are just the same for all forms of Pool & Snooker.

I recently retired and took up pool and snooker in our community billiard room. Your tips will help others like me from forming bad habits. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent tips! The “slow” shot can be such a powerful positional tool provided you can trust the accuracy of the table.

Good solid advice. Love pool. Teaching and having fun and a drinnk with the missus. We got a similar 8 ball table in our local round the corner here in Didsbury.

many thanks for the advice. i've had a few cues in mind but i settled on a buffalo no1 british pool cue that has an 8.5mm tip. i'll see how i get on and hopefully remember some of the tutorials when i'm playing.

this video will really help, thanks, i’m in high school and i really want to get into 8/9 ball and i need to learn how to play better

[davidarchuleta]

Yes, to the point, Great Tips, THANK YOU !

[TequilaDave]

Great tips that also work for snooker. 👍 Sometimes it's good to remember the basics like walking into the shot. When playing pool down the pub it is far too easy to fall out of your routine.

Brilliant video. Made a few mistakes myself. Thank uuu

[jacobfielder]

fantastic video mate, super super useful.

Nice, pointed out faults I have to correct in my game - perhaps, though, number 4 not so much - I find if I get into a spiral of poor play, it's because I'm hitting the ball a tad softer than the optimum - not harder. So for me, slightly harder (not a LOT harder) than I wanted generally gives better results for positional play than too soft.

Those are actually not just neat tricks you want to try out some time but the very fundamentals every pool player has to follow in order to play good. If you combine these five tips with a proper stance and the right way to hold a queue you will get MUCH BETTER pretty FAST.

One more important thing:
It is completely normal to play worse once you start changing your habits. But this is just temporary and nessesary to improve over all.

Good luck and have fun everyone :)

Superb videos, really good tips. Would love to play you some day and test myself!

I thought the tip on where to look and the stay on the table still tip were supper helpful

[carldickinson]

I’m 31 now I use to play when I was younger and I was pretty good. I recently started playing again and couldn’t believe how terrible I was. The biggest Tip for me was tip 5, a friend of mine said you’re constantly flicking your eyesight between the cue ball and the object ball which was making me miss a lot. So recently I started just looking at where I want to hit the white then look at the object ball and it has helped me a lot hopefully I can improve more as there is room for a lot more improvement.

The "look where you're aiming" tip was very helpful.

[haplosdream]

I have the same snooker que from amazon. shoots pretty good.
