Billiards is an elegant sport that requires skill and precision and has many types, rules and variants. It can be played either as a leisure activity, between enthusiasts of a lower level, or it can become highly competitive and be played in major world tournaments. Today, we teach you a few playing skills, you can have a certain advantage when playing billiards with friends
First, the correct pendulum
Pendulum is a very critical part of the billiards movement, the correct pendulum posture can make the cue ball hit more accurate, more powerful. Correct swing posture includes: body relaxation, steady footsteps, cue ball in the center of the palm grip, elbow bending, wrist relaxation, eyes on the striking point.
Adjusting the angle of view
Adjusting the angle of view is a very critical skill in billiards. Before hitting the ball, you need to find the correct hitting angle and landing point, which needs to be accomplished by adjusting the angle of view. Generally speaking, you need to find the intersection point of the line of sight and the club head, and align the top of the cue stick with the point of impact, so as to determine the correct hitting angle and strength.
Third, determine the sequence of the ball
When attacking, you need to choose the strategy of hitting the ball according to the position and order of the balls. Generally speaking, if your balls are all on the same side, you can hit the ball into the pocket by bouncing the ball; if your balls are scattered, you can choose to score as many balls as possible; if the enemy ball is blocking your ball, you can hit the enemy ball by driving to get a better chance to attack.
Spin
Spin is a very important skill in the attack of billiards, which can change the trajectory and speed of the ball to achieve a better attack effect. In the use of spin, you need to choose the correct point of impact and impact strength, and the cue stick will hit the ball with spin.
Hitting the center point of the main ball: the ball starts to run straight ahead in the direction of the club, very fast and far, because the ball is driven by the positive spin moment, and the friction of rolling and spinning is much less than that of sliding, so the loss of kinetic energy is very small.
Hit the center of the main ball striking point: the beginning of no rotation, forward sliding moment later, due to the role of the friction resistance of the table, gradually produced a positive spin moment, so that the ball and the table contact point speed slowed down, the apex of the ball speed remains unchanged, so the ball will be rotating forward. Where the ball starts to rotate and how far it can roll depends on the size of the hitting force.
Hitting the center-left or center-right point of the main ball: This is a side-spinning shot (also known as an off-set shot). It is technically difficult, but it is a side-spin technique that must be learned and practiced and understood to play an important role in hitting the ball that requires side-spin. When it is necessary to fundamentally change the route of the main ball or the target ball, you will realize the special role of using side spin. Side Spin is a special type of spin on the billiard ball, a deformed spin that changes the path of the ball both before and after impact with the target ball.
Impact on the main ball in the lower point: the ball starts with a counter-spin moment, the ball is traveling while spinning backwards, due to the friction of the table, the backspin slows down until zero, the ball after a period of skidding, then the transition to positive spin forward. Until it slows down and stops.
V. Long/Short Ball Technique
Long ball and short ball are two very basic skills in billiards offense, you can choose to use according to the situation. Generally speaking, the long ball is suitable for long-distance offense, you need to choose the right hitting strength and angle to hit the ball; short ball is suitable for close-distance offense, you need to choose the right hitting strength and angle to control the ball’s landing point. Remember: long balls should be fast, short balls should be soft!
Summary: The above five skills are very practical skills when attacking billiards, need to practice and improve in practice to achieve better offensive results.
