Many friends start playing billiards from their own hobby, but in the absence of formal coaching and professional players, it is easy to develop bad habits, which will seriously affect their level of improvement.
Experienced enthusiasts in the pool hall casually look through the opponent’s posture, shot and hit the line, it is easy to roughly determine the level of the other side. Today, Billiards Classroom shares some of the most common mistakes made by novice billiard players, hoping to help all enthusiasts!
Standing Posture
Many people have their feet together or in a line before and after, or both legs bent are incorrect, the width between the two feet should be shoulder width apart, the center of gravity foot pops straight, the other foot is bent, the front and back feet sideways staggered, rather than parallel or straight line before and after. The standing position ensures that the center of gravity of the body is stable and the leg support is reasonably firm.
Distance between head and club
Many people hit the ball when the head raised very high, the correct posture is the center of the chin against the pole, the pole is in the middle of the eyes, this time also requires the upper body needs to lie down low, the chin is close to the pole, to keep the line of sight focusing on the pole directly in front. This point is to ensure that the eyes accurately aiming point, judging the line of the pole.
Sideways turn of the upper body
When you get down to aim the ball down the pole, the upper body should be sideways, the back hand bent side parallel to the body, if the right hand out of the pole, to ensure that the head is twisted to the left and the forehand frame to maintain a line. Many inattentive friends play the front of the body and the club into a perpendicular angle, rather than parallel angle, this is not correct. The point of this is to ensure that the front and back hands and the club are in a very natural, comfortable direction, by maintaining a side posture, to ensure that the front hand, club, back hand control in a plane, just need to keep the small arm naturally downward swing, to minimize the back hand and the body of the angle of the bending caused by the deviation of the shot.
Wrist
By looking at the photos, or looking in the mirror, it is easy to find that many novices hit the ball when the wrist has a different degree of grip, some to the outside of the inflection, some inward, the correct way is to be a natural droop of the wrists, do not have extra grip on the left and right, the wrist force is only used for the front and back of the power of the club shot. This point is still to ensure that the shot is straight, not because of the wrist grip tightness or angle caused by the shot is not smooth, it is difficult to always keep the shot straight forward.
Forehand Distance
Have a friend pay attention to, the forehand frame and the distance of the white ball, in fact, is very important, many novices are too long, the forehand frame and the white ball in the 15-20CM or so, smooth rod, the club head may be close to the mother of the ball, so as to ensure that the point of the hit is more accurate, out of the club to ensure that the point of hitting the point of their own aim point. Many people’s forehands are too far from the target ball, and the club head of the aiming ball is too far away from the mother ball, often hitting out is not the point to aim at.
Hand shape of the forehand frame
In the absence of obstacles on the table surface, the inattentive novice often has the palms of the hands hanging in the air, the thumbs loose, and the four fingers together, the consequence of which is that the forehand frame is not stable enough to ensure the accuracy of the shots and strokes. The correct way is to keep the palm of the hand close to the table, the thumb and forefinger form a solid and stable right-angle pivot point, and the four fingers are separated to steadily support the forehand frame.
Playing is a 2-point line, the front hand frame a point, the back hand small arm swing a point, must be able to fix the front and back hands and ensure that the rod in a plane, in order to ensure that the rod straight, and then through the practice of the rod method, the strength of the control to improve the level of striking.
The above is a little experience sharing for novice billiard players, as soon as possible to get rid of bad habits, for masters can be ignored, huh.
Supplementary: After mastering the basic skills, on the one hand, you can improve your skills through frequent practice (professional players are actually very boring and dull), but it is very meaningful to practice repeatedly to improve stability and accuracy, just like the professional players say, let the ball feel in the mind to leave deeper and deeper “memory”, the so-called practice makes perfect.
On the other hand, there are some aspects that beginners can improve quickly if they pay attention to them:
(1) Putting aside the desire to win or lose, and enjoying billiards.
Many people are nervous to play, not play, in fact, the heart put too many things, such as the ball if not into how to do? Or immediately into the win, etc., too many distractions in the heart.
My personal understanding is to let go of the idea of winning or losing, and play every ball seriously, as if you are practicing with yourself. If you lose, you are not as good as others, it’s no big deal, you can practice again later, if you win, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are much stronger than others, keep a good mindset, it will help to improve the stability of the game.
Even if you meet the ball of luck, do not be too happy or too frustrated, that is “God” arrangements, today’s luck on your side, the next time may be in the other that is strong A masters are inevitably encountered in the ball of luck, so encountered the ball of luck, it does not matter ah, smile and pass~!
(2) Seriously, minimize the mistakes that should not have.
The simpler the ball, the more serious you have to be. Difficult ball, masters may make mistakes, they do not see into the fight, even if into a certain amount of luck component is not happy, think about playing not into the time to do a good job of defense.
And on the pocket or simple ball, especially to be serious and serious, less mistakes. (Mistakes and errors are inevitable, I’m talking about trying to avoid or reduce the frequency).
Playing the ball anxious, hasty is the novice is most likely to commit the fault, the short term want to significantly improve the skills is very difficult, but if you can calm down, quiet, a ball steady play, develop a good habit of seriousness, the ball must be under the steady down, reduce the error, can quickly raise their own level by a notch.https://www.tiktok.com/@spk.billiard?_t=8qRRRnXP4N8&_r=1
