Billiard Tips

Billiard Tips: Have you ever wished you could turn back time?

I had just returned from the 2003 BCA Jr. Nationals Billiards tournament held at The College, University Of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan.

Adam Pendley, who works with my StrokeTrainer, lost his first match and won 10 matches in a row to end up in 2nd after losing on the hill 9-8 in the finals.

I saw some of the best Billiards/pool ever.

There were three different age groups starting with 18 & under Boys, 18 & under Girls, and 14 & under Boys.

I had always heard about how good some of these kids could play but I could never have imagined it until I saw it in person.

I was amazed at the level of billiard play at such an early age.

For the kids who are starting to play pool today they all seem to have the same problem:

"Their stroke"

Because they are too short to reach over the top of the pool table, they all tend to hold their arm out to the side, which becomes a bad habit as they get older.

Now there is a training aid on the market to help them with stroke after they are tall enough to reach over the table.

The Stroke trainer!

Anyone who has ever played pool or billiards knows the importance of having a solid stroke. This is the basis of the entire game, a skill which takes years of practice to truly master.

But we have created a training aid to do this in a matter of days not years – endorsed by Tom "Dr. Cue" Rossman and "The Monk" Tim Miller, World Master players and Professional Instructors.

In the meantime if your child is too short to reach over the table please try to build them a box or give them something to stand on when they are playing pool.

It will save them a lot of work in the future. This is a billiard tip I saw a long time ago.
