Myth one:
That playing billiards does not require good physical fitness. We all think that like playing soccer, basketball need good physical fitness, physical fitness is not good, the technology can not play, and billiards movement is small, physical fitness and level has no relationship. But in fact, billiards is also very demanding on physical fitness. Because, playing billiards on the surface seems to ripple, the cue less than 1000 grams, no sweat, no blood, the physical requirements are not high. But in fact, she is a very high precision requirements of the sport, a move of carelessness, even if the ball line more than 1 centimeter of their own design, may be a fatal error, can be said to be “not even a tiny difference, the fallacy of a thousand miles”, especially the masters of the game, it may be “a move of carelessness, the whole plate is lost! “Therefore, the sport of billiards requires the player’s ability to make the best use of his or her skills. Therefore, billiards requires a high degree of concentration of the player’s mind, “the heart to the ball, the heart to the force to”, very exhausting players’ physical strength and energy. Playing billiards for one hour consumes about 130 kilocalories to 250 kilocalories. If you are active when playing billiards, and frequently bend down to hit the ball, your body’s activity will increase, and your calorie consumption will also increase accordingly. The domestic celebrity Guo Hua switched to playing black 8 because snooker is very physically demanding, and the lack of physical strength was one of the reasons for the failure of Chinese players to play against British players.
Myth two:
It is very difficult to score a goal with an extra cork. In fact, scoring is a feeling, how to hit the ball into the bag, it seems complicated, in fact, not complicated, on the four words – “practice makes perfect”, there is no shortcut to go, is to practice more, the same type of ball, practiced more, naturally there will be a feeling, also It is a kind of conditioned reflex. Knowing which part of the main ball should be hit to the target ball in order for the target ball to go into the pocket; at the same time, knowing what kind of spin and how strong to hit the main ball with the cue stick, the target ball goes into the pocket after the main ball arrives at the position envisioned by oneself. Watching the game, the master seldom go to see the hitting point, basically down on the body to hit, in fact, they are with a kind of intuition in the ball. If you don’t have the feeling of scoring, even if you don’t add a plug, the same can’t be scored.
Myth three:
Hitting the ball needs to use a lot of force. Beginner players, that playing the ball needs a lot of force, the rod is out of the straight, the ball is hit accurately, the main ball can also run all over the table, a good position. In fact, this is not the case. Too much force, there are at least three unfavorable factors: First, the action is easy to deform, resulting in unsatisfactory hitting effect; Second, if you add plugs, out of the club is not flat, it will form the arc of the ball; Third, it is not easy to control the alignment of the main ball. Unless strong low and high shots are needed, as long as you hit the right part of the main ball, you generally don’t need too much strength to achieve a good alignment effect. Because, if you hit the middle part of the main ball, even if you use more force to hit, the effect is only fixed shots, the main ball stops at the original position of the target ball, and does not move. On the other hand, if you hit the middle of the main ball, even if you hit it with a very small force, the main ball will follow through.
Myth Four:
There is no need to choose a table and cue. Each cue has a different weight and gives a different feel, and billiards is a fine sport where subtle differences can make a big difference. Therefore, to play the ball well, it is best to buy a cue that suits you, so that the feel can be fixed, it does not have to be very expensive, but it must be straight, smooth, and weigh, and when not playing, it should be hung with a spreader to ensure that it is straight and not deformed. If possible, it is best to play on a better table, if the table is not flat, the edge of the table is not elastic, alignment is an empty talk, I am afraid that even into the ball is a problem. But practice accuracy, in general more flat table can be carried out, after all, billiards is a luxury sport. Both money and time.
Myth five:
You can improve by playing more against the best. This point of view has made many people give up billiards, and many of them think that often playing with the masters can learn the strengths of the masters, and put pressure on themselves, and soon improve their level. The result is the opposite, many people not only did not learn the characteristics of the master, but also beat themselves up and simply stopped playing. The reason is: the characteristics of the masters can not be learned in one or two matches, but need to be constantly observed and practiced, and to be too eager to achieve quick results will only make oneself discouraged. The correct approach is: occasionally observe masters playing, watching games, or through teaching books and DVDs, to understand some of the basic skills, and then specialize in practicing alone, one by one to overcome the skills of mastery, enduring loneliness and boredom, from easy to difficult, and gradually improve. If you feel that the training is very boring, can be a week or 10 days or so, with their own level of people with their own moves, and try to beat him to get confidence, to the basic can be sure to beat him, and then find a little stronger than their own masters of the game, test the effect of practice. Don’t care about winning or losing, summarize the lessons learned, and then practice alone to improve stability. Generally, when you master a new skill, your level will drop. Because, at this time, the stability is very poor, a mistake, will give others a good opportunity. However, insist on surviving the “bottleneck” stage, the level will be sublimated, into the ranks of masters.https://www.tiktok.com/@spk.billiard?_t=8qRRRnXP4N8&_r=1
