Regular matches greatly improve your pool game
It’s surprising how quickly you can improve you pool game when you put in the hours. Simply arranging weekly matches of winner-stays-on at home with a few of your mates can greatly enhance your ability and stop you relying on fluky shots when you play at the pub.
Between you, you will pick up on how to better your stance and how you use your cue in order to pull off particular shots. Regularity is the most important thing when you practise as it will allow you to put new techniques you have learnt to immediate use.
If your mates aren’t around, try playing a game against yourself to hone your skills.
