yeah, the relaxation and relieving muscle tension before the shot has helped a ton
It may also seem odd, but when i used to play i would think of a song/tune in my head. helped me flow and follow through on shots. pregame warmup by balancing cue stick, and loosen up by twirling like baton
I absolutely love snooker; we even have our own pool/snooker club. I've been playing since I was 12, taught by my dad.
There's no shortcut; you need a great "table IQ" like ball movement, accuracy, and strategy. To excel, play A Lot.
Pro tip: get your own cue stick for consistency and commitment.
Work on your body posture while playing from day one; find tutorials on YouTube.
Each table cloth varies in friction, impacting your game. It's crucial to adapt. If you're beginner, don't change tables.
I should stop here, it getting too long, I'm obsessed with this game 😅 There's much more, keep playing, it's a great game.
Buy a cue, practice and join a low level bar league.
Playing in a league has upped my game tremendously.
Be aware of what the cue ball will do after the shot. Try and set yourself up for the next shot.
proper shout that, really want to own my own table one day just to practice
First things first, practice your cue control. Smooth, straight, controlled, easy on the power. Don’t use more power then necessary. Be mindful of your arm movement. Don’t drop your elbow/lift your cue tip, follow through should be nice and straight.
Next up, learn where to hit the cue ball for controlling its location.
Practice with someone who can watch your form.
