Aim and power
Use the guideline to line up shots, and use fine-tune controls for difficult angles. Most shots need less power than you think; softer shots are more accurate and easier to control.
Control the cue ball
Spin lets you control where the cue ball goes after a shot. Top spin makes it follow forward, back spin draws it back and side spin changes its angle off cushions. Plan your next shot before you take the current one.
Break and choose your group
A few habits help in every game:
- Practise a consistent break that spreads the balls.
- Pick the group (solids or stripes) with easier shots.
- If you can't pot, play a safe shot that leaves your opponent stuck.
- Don't leave the 8-ball blocked by your own balls.
Pick the right table
Higher tables have bigger entry fees and bigger rewards. Play at tables where losing a few games won't wipe out your coins, and move up gradually as your win rate improves.
