A Brief Guide To Billiards Denver

By Bernice Terry


A lot of bars often have a pool table. Other clubs may have snooker tables. However you may have seen places that have billiards Denver and wonder how the game is played. While there are some differences to pool and snooker the techniques you can learn can equally be transferred to pool and snooker.

The theory is that the game was invented as kind of indoor version of croquet, roughly around the fifteenth century. In effect the cue was the equivalent of the mallet and the table was there as a substitute for the wicket. Over time it then developed into its own game with its own variations.

Both games require care and precision. A good player should not rush shots and you need to use the cue in the right way. However as well as using the right angles you also have to think tactically. In any cue game the key is also the mental approach. As much as possible it is vital to think a few moves ahead!

In bother versions of the game and indeed snooker and pool it requires patience and vision. As well as physically lining up your shot you also need to think about what will happen as a result of that shot. The best players will be able to think numerous shots ahead and play in a subtle and tactical way. Remember to think about what your opponent may do next as well as what you want to do next!

You need to line up carefully. Lean across the table at a 45 degree angle with one foot on the floor. This foot should be the same as your strongest arm for example your left foot alongside left hand if you are left handed. If you have difficulty keeping one foot on the floor either use a reach or consider another shot that you can do on one foot.

Ideally you need to keep vertical with your chin around an inch to six inches from the cue. Grip it comfortably and relaxed, making sure it cannot slip and ensuring a smooth action. Use your fingers to form a bridge to rest the cue on your hand in order to line up the shot.

The best movement is a slow pendulum. Check carefully to see where you are hitting the ball as this will affect how it moves. Do your best to keep your body still as you do this as this will allow the smoothest action. Before you hit the ball it is recommended that you line up and practise strokes a few times so that you can be more confident before hitting the ball.

Remember with billiards Denver and indeed any other cue game that the movement needs to be a smooth pendulum. As stated before do not rush this! Look online for video tutorials to ensure the best technique. As you become more confident it will become easier to do the bouncing trick shots to get the most from your game.
