Planning your shot

One of the most important skills to work on as a beginning pool player is the ability to pre plan your shots as you go along.  This will allow you to hole more balls if you are planning the next shot correctly.  You also want to make sure if there is no way to plan a shot for yourself that your placement of the cue ball will not leave your opponent a good open shot.

With these two skills developed your winning percentage should go up tremendously.  The best way to go about planning your shots is to go one shot ahead of the shot you are on.  You will want to figure out after you have hit the object ball and made it in where do you need the cue ball to stop to get a shot that is possible to make.  Yes this isn’t always possible but if you look hard enough you should be able to leave yourself a decent option of a next shot. архив галереи эротика медсестры

If you can have your cue ball stop at the point you want look at the current shot, and then where your other balls are on the table, pick a location that your cue ball stopping at would be the most beneficial to your and lining up of another shot.  Again you will need to remember this is where stroke speed will matter.  You can’t always hit a ball hard and hope that it stops in the place you need it to be.  This means the stroke speed should be at a decent speed, or sometimes the speed will need to be slow if you want the cue ball to stay fairly close to where you are.

If you practice planning your shots and the stroke speed soon you should be able to master getting a few shots made just by how you place your cue after a shot.  You will also need to try and keep the cue ball from positioning itself in a place that will allow your opponent an opportunity to make his own planned shots.  Sometimes it’s best to plan the cue ball to land behind a ball of yours when a shot is not possible.
