| Important Shot Part 2 |
| 2008-04-05 10:51:00 |
The long stop shot. A very important shot in pool and also a good indication to you, the player, if your aiming is straight and if you can use draw properly. On top of that it also tests your speed control / judgement. Don't take a shot like this lightly, if you can master this, then shorter distances will be a piece of pie. The object is to have the cue-ball stop dead in it's track when it makes contact with the object ball. That means no stun action in either direction, no draw action bringing the cue-ball back towards you and definetly no follow action which could potentially cause you to scratch....

Great positioning is key to great runs. To keep the cue-ball going foward after contacting the object ball and then the rail, apply some follow with inside english. Just using follow won't be enough because some extra action is needed off the rail to push the cue-ball further down table, giving you an easier angle on the next shot.Adjust your aim on the first object ball since you are using some left english. A thinner cut is needed than if you were to use just follow or center....

Shape Your Tip Predator research has clearly shown that a dime radius (or shape of a dime) will produce 5 percent to 10 percent less cue ball deflection than the more commonly used nickel shape. The cue ball deflection is reduced because the dime radius centralizes the hit to the center, or strong part, of the shaft. What burnishing does for your shaft The purpose of burnishing your shaft is to smooth and seal the wood. The more you burnish, the better the finish and, the slicker and more moisture resistant your shaft becomes. Moisture is the #1 enemy of your shaft. It causes the grain to raise and your shaft to warp. To burnish your shaft, use a leather burnisher and avoid abrasives. Sanding your shaft wears it down and makes the wood porous, which allows moisture ...

Understanding Cue Ball Deflection The vast majority of all shots are missed when “English†or sidespin is used. The reason is simple: when you use English, the cue ball doesn’t go where you aim it. That’s called “cue ball deflection†or “cue ball error†and the typical player takes years to learn to compensate for it. The amount of cue ball deflection depends on the cue used, the tip placement and the speed of the stroke. The farther the strike from center, the more the cue ball is deflected off-line. Cue ball deflection will also increase with a faster stroke. Lower deflecting cues require less compensation and therefore make the game easier. The Predator shafts are designed to reduce cue ball deflection and are the lowest deflecting shaft...

| Important Shots - Practice Drill 1 |
| 2008-02-20 11:40:00 |
The most basic shots are probably also the most important shots of the game. The reason being is because they come up so often. Easy straight-in shots are the key to great positioning. When people tell you that no shot is easy, it is because they are taking the whole shot into consideration, not just pocketing the target ball. The shot begins when all balls have come to a rest and it only ends again when all balls have come to a rest. Being able to control where the cue/object balls will end up is the key to high runs. Speed control and english are very important, even on the most basic looking shots. Respect this concept first and you'll start to take the entire shot into focus. You will need to visualize the paths of all balls that are contacted once the shot i...

| Masse Shot |
| 2008-01-23 08:37:00 |
Without a doubt, the most difficult shot to get consistent at. Everyone has visions of holes in the felt and broken cues trying the Masse'. That doesn't have to be the case if you start with the softer approach. Use a bridge with your fingers on the table and a very light grip on the cue. Now use a light tap and work your way up until you see it starting to do something. You'll be making short Masse's before you know it and your table will remain in perfect condition.When Most UsedWhen your opponent's ball is slightly or directly in your shot path.How ToThe angle of the cue depends on how far away the blocking ball is. You have to project the cue ball past it before the spin takes effect. The further away the blocking ball is the lower the angle on the cue. The closer the blocking ball is ...

Because these venues often provided billiard tables, the term "pool" became synonymous with billiards, and though the original "pool" game was played on a...
