As I have mentioned earlier, I will be going to teach you all the techniques and practices which you can apply in your game and take it to another level.
So today I am gonna tell you how to improve your snooker game to the next level by clearing all your doubts regarding spins,angles and many more.
Practice makes a man perfect,this quote is damn true for this game.Snooker requires continuous drills and practices but also only hard work will not work here you need to do some smartwork or what we can say is to do hard work in the right direction.
Now I am going to guide you along with this article so that you can become a pro in this game,Lets start.
1)Treat this game like you treat any other sport which require balls
All games which require balls in them are mostly played and improved in the same manner.The main focus of any person should stick on the stance position,a good stance will improve your game drastically and will give a new direction to your previous gameplay.You need to maintain a good balance between the cue positioning and your posture both should complement each other.
2)Try to be comfortable in your own way
I am definitely sure that you must be trying to copy other player stance like ronnie o sullivan,trump,and many other but this is a big mistake,don’t ever try to copy anybody’s stance because everyone is unique and one might be comfortable in some position as compared to any other.If you don’t feel comfortable in a stance which you are trying to copy just ignore it and create your own stance position which is suitable for you.
3)Try to play with players who are better than you in the game and also practice solo
If possible,try to find and play with the players who are better than you in the game this will help you in analyzing and observing your opponents game and hence will directly and indirectly help you to think all possible outcomes of the shot that you are playing,also it will help you to find flaws in your gameplay as your opponent will mostly be winning and now after each game you are improving your gameplay and hence becoming better.
Playing solo will help you to observe your game type,are you an attacker player,a defender or a player who has both the qualities of attacker as well as a defender and in this way practicing solo will help you in how to improve your snooker game to next level.
4)Do not drain yourself while practicing too long
If you are trying to over practice then my friend you are not improving your game rather you are draining your energy and losing your focus.Playing for too long will either makes you lethargic or will decrease your interest in the game,so try not to exhaust yourself while practicing and keep focus on your quality of time spent in practicing.
5)Clear your conceptual base first
In order to improve your game to a next level you must make your foundation strong.As you know the base must be strong for constructing a building same applies with the game.You need to clear your basics first and know the fundamentals of the game in order to achieve excellence.
I am going to tell you some fundamentals which every snooker player should know if he/she wants to improve their game.
a)Stance position should be stable and comfortable for you and it depends on person to person,this will make your shots more clear and accurate.
b)Try to maintain a relaxed grip with the cue so as to make shots effortlessly.
c)Use chalk after every shot you make in order to maintain friction between the tip of the cue and the cue ball.
d)You need to know that while making a pull back shot the side spins work reverse.
6)Improve your aiming
When it comes to aiming,many players do not understand the art of judging the angles on which they need to hit the balls in order to pocket them.If you want to improve your aiming then you must practice pre-shot routines.
Ghost ball aiming is also a helpful way to improve your aim to a great extent.For people who have eyesight problem then in that case you must wear spectacles and then play,Do not avoid wearing spectacles because it can cause harm to your eyesight as you need to focus more in making a simple shot.
7)Focus more on the grip
Gripping the cue is the main element in improving your game.Many beginners try to hard in gripping the stick and as the result they often fail to play to their maximum extent and get frustrated each time they miss a shot.Hand grip or the way you make shape of your hand also determines the grip.
Snooker aiming secrets
The secret behind aiming and potting lies in practicing shots on regular basis.If you are unable to aim correctly and often miss easy shots then i am going to tell you two routines by which you can surely improve your potting and hence it will boost up your confidence,so lets start:
a)Random practicing shots:
In this you spread the balls randomly on the table and then start to pot balls randomly one after the other and try to create a break while playing as it will improve your potting as well as calling making abilities in the game.
b)Figure out which shots you find difficult to pot:
The only way or secret to improve your snooker game is to figure out which shots you are finding difficult to pot and then place the balls in that difficult way and practice till you have continuously pot that shot 3 times in a row and in this way you will conquer your fear of difficult shots.
