• Know Your Angles

To be good in the pool, you don't have to be a maths whiz. You gain a feel for how the balls travel on the table and how much strength you use with your cue after a while of playing. But that doesn't negate the importance of knowing your angles.

• Align Your Body Properly

It is critical to properly stand when taking a shot. You don't want to be hunched over the pool table, unable to maintain your equilibrium. Your eyes, head, arm, and cue should all be aligned with the ball you wish to hit for perfect alignment. Keep your head and neck as low as possible. Continue to practise your alignment until it becomes muscle memory and comes effortlessly to you.

• Practice Your Grip Right  

Many newcomers at the pool and billiards make the mistake of grasping the cue too tightly. While it's easy to believe that tightening your grip on the cue will give you more precision and control over your shot, this isn't the case. You're more likely to jump the ball off the table if you have a tight grip.

• Develop a Stance That Is Consistent

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all stance. Because everyone's physique is different, everyone's stance is unique. A stance is all about finding a balance between what feels good to you and what helps you to aim the snooker tables consistently and accurately. Height, body type, playing style, dominant hand (left or right), flexibility, and other physical problems or ailments that may affect comfort and ability all influence a pool player's posture.
