Billiards is as much a game of skill as darts, hockey and even archery. Training, practice and tips from pros will make all the difference in your game. When you are new to the game of billiards it will seem like the other guy gets all the lucky “breaks” in the game. But practice does make perfect and by becoming proficient in just a couple of shots you can improve your game rapidly. Firstly you need to have a proper break. If playing snooker you need to tap the corner red ball, left or right side, and bank of the top rail (cushion), the left (or right) top side rail them back to the bottom rail and smoothly behind the yellow or green ball. Practicing getting behind the line of green, brown and yellow balls is what is important off the break. If you are playing 8-ball or 9-ball the breaking open of the rack is most important. Many players have a specific, heavier cue for the job of breaking the balls open. Practice for these games, off the break, should include a steady, straight and solid stroke to the head ball. The second shot you need to practice is the long, table wide shot into the corner pocket. Own the shot and you’ll own the game.
