Question:
“I am new to billiards and I was wondering what you would
suggest I do to improve my shot aiming. I can always see the angle
needed to pocket a ball but can never hit it perfectly. Any tips
or advice?”
Answer:
Pocketing shots are broken down into different parts; 1) Look at
the object ball to the pocket. 2) Look at the cue ball to the object
ball. 3) Walk into the shot 4) Practice strokes 5) Follow through
the shot. 6) Stay down till the cue ball stops rolling.
During my clinics one of the first things I ask my students is
“do you have a pre-shot routine”? I proceed and have
each of them jot down what theirs is… then I encourage them
with mine.
Everyone needs a pre-shot routine – this way you’re
developing some structure and discipline in your game. We all strive
for consistency….
My best advise is to join one of my open clinics- the next one
is scheduled for Saturday, July 17th, 2010 at the Wynkoop and you
can get more information off of my website at www.melissalittle.com

Best of luck to you,
Viper
