As an amateur who has been playing for more than 10 years, I have experienced a long and agonizing time in between from the initial mess of playing to the present slight experience due to the fact that I have no one to guide me. Because of this, I can better understand the rookie’s confusion and agony. Today I dare to know some of the many beginners will encounter the problem of focusing together, and attached to my personal understanding, I hope to beginners have some help.
1. Why do I think it is easier to score in the center pocket than in the bottom pocket?
Many beginners feel that it is easier to score in the center pocket than in the bottom pocket, and I have also felt this way. In fact, this is because the pool tables in many clubs are not standardized, especially in the middle pocket, the angle of opening is too big, so that any ball can be rolled over and scored. Coupled with the fact that the center pocket is generally lighter, the probability of scoring is even greater. However, once you play on a slightly more formal pool table, you try to see it, the middle pocket is very difficult to play, the angle is a little smaller will be very easy to miss, so unless absolutely necessary, the general players will not be from a small angle to attack the middle pocket.
2. Why can’t I hit my draw stroke out of the center pocket, and why can’t I hit my draw stroke out of the center pocket when I follow the book?
First, the key point of the shot is to have loose hands, exactly loose wrists, loose palms, loose fingers, and to put it plainly, not to hold the club tightly. But the shoulders should not be loose. Some people seem to be very strong out of a shot, but his power, just big at the beginning of the power, because of the tight grip on the club, coupled with the lack of extension of the club, to hit the ball before the power has been collected, so it looks very strong, in fact, the real transfer to the ball is not much power, the natural rotation will not be strong, the shrinkage of the club into a fixed shot. The loose hands can ensure that you can send all the power to the mother ball, rather than all internal consumption.
Secondly, hand flat club flat, hand loose non-stop, this is the point of playing shrinkage, but this is too abstract, for a person who has never played shrinkage, how to experience the feeling of shrinkage? I’ll give you a trick, you put the mother ball and the target ball a little closer to the distance of 5cm to 7cm or so, and then hit a low shot, don’t force to hit. We all know that if the club head, the mother ball and the target ball at the same time touch together, it is a foul, so don’t foul, you can only club head touching the mother ball, then stop, then you will see the shrinkage of the club produced. See that? That’s probably the first draw you’ve ever hit. Hit a few more to get a feel for it, but don’t think you’re done, you’ve just taken the first step, and the next thing you know, you’re going to run into this problem.
3. Why doesn’t my retractor work well and doesn’t retract much?
I have been puzzled for a long time on this point, and here we have to talk about extension. In Mandarin, the club head should not stop as soon as it touches the ball, but should be extended forward for a certain period of time. The longer the extension, the more obvious the effect of shrinking the club will be when the power and speed of the club are fixed. Some teaching materials say that you should have the feeling of hitting the ball through the mother ball, in fact, it also means that you have to extend the club for a period of time. In addition, some beginners say that when I extend the club, the shot will be crooked. Here’s a tip for you, it’s very simple, that is, when you hit the contraction of the club, the hand frame is placed closer to the mother ball. Give it a try, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
4. Isn’t there a saying that “Miracles happen when you hit the ball hard”? But I’ve been told not to hit too hard. Who should I listen to?
It’s true, but it depends on where you use it. In fact, this saying is applicable to playing 16-color, in 16-color table hole big table small, haphazard shot still has a lot of probability of scoring. But in a snooker table with a small hole and a big table, this saying is not applicable. If you try to use brute force, you will only lose the ball.
5. Why is it that when I hit the ball very hard, my cue ball only grinds forward a few centimeters, when it should be rolling forward quickly?
The main reason is that the shot is not stable, when aiming it is high, and the moment it goes out, it becomes a center shot, in addition, the head of the club stops as soon as it touches the mother ball without extension, which is also a reason. In addition, the club head was not extended and stopped when it touched the ball, which was also a reason. There was also a lack of relaxation of the hands, which led to not hitting a follow but a stun. 6.
6. I hit the target ball near the bottom pocket of the far end of the angle is not big, the mother ball is high, I always think that the mother ball can eat a library pop back, right? But it only bounced back a little bit, and then the brakes actually stopped!
This is because the mother ball after a strong high shot has a brake effect after the library, try to putt in the middle and high shots, do not send a strong, the mother ball will come back.
Enhance the ball skills not only to use the right method, a good table is also vital, a good table will make your ball skills icing on the cake, Spike pool table source manufacturers in the billiards industry has more than 20 years of production experience, the use of Jiujiang A-grade lapis lazuli plate with the northern imports of rubber edges, the table is rugged and durable, strong rebound, is the preferred choice of the ball room tournament-level tables.
7. What is the essence of snooker? Is it accuracy?
The essence of snooker is power. I didn’t say that, Davis did. This power does not mean to use brute force to hit whoever is strong and whoever is good at snooker, I think what he should say is this: to pinpoint every strength, to control the ball to any place, more than one point is too much and one point is too little, no more and no less to the place where it should be, which is the power. Watching the masters play, you will find that they play is not very difficult ball, are very basic to push a little, play a library up and then push a little, left a right a little, so gradually pushed all the ball. But you look at their mother ball, after a push always appear in the place where it should appear, this is the mother ball control ability, this is the essence of snooker. 8.
8. How to practice snooker?
There are too many textbooks on this, I only add two points: First, practice from a variety of different angles to hit the original black ball, hit into the left and right bottom pockets, more practice, you will have a great improvement in your ability to play the black ball, and the players will be a great deal of psychological pressure on the other side of the competition; Second, the mother ball on the tee line, long-distance straight line 5-point ball into the bottom pockets, you monitor their own power position standard or not. It’s a great reference value for you to monitor whether you are in a standardized posture or not. I have seen Hendry before the game so push the 5-point ball practice, more than 20 minutes in a row without a mistake, master style is amazing.
