Answer 6

Get into a good position low to the table. Try to keep your stick parallel to the table. Make sure it is stable and not too loose and wobbly during your stroke. Be smooth.

Draw an imaginary line from the center of the pocket through the center of the ball, that is your aiming point on the ball.

Hope this helps a little! If not....distract him while he is shooting!

Answer 7

Don't worry about how bad you play. If you show interest and try to learn from him. That will impress him more than how well you play. Good players want to teach others their skill, they don't want to waist their time on someone who, they can tell, doesn't understand the game and acts like they do. Just listen and learn. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 8

1) Imagine a line through the ball you want to hit and the white carrying on off the table. Put right foot on that line (assuming you're right handed).

2) Put your left hand on that line too.

3) Only swing from the elbow.Keep everything else still.

4) Stay down until the white hits the object ball.

5) Chalk your tip after every shot.

Answer 9

Give him that "snear" that your picture shows 5 times and when he makes the bet....raise it!....he wants to play for $5....tell him....."make it $10"

Answer 10

1. Chalk up before every shot

2. Stay down and follow through on every shot

3. Think about where your cue ball is going

4. Play the percentages , don't take too many risks

5. Relax and have fun , it's just a game
