Answer 1

keep practicing

Answer 2

Keep practicing,enter amateur tournaments which can be very tough some road players are every bit as good as pros.If you can win these high level tournaments you are ready to go pro.

Answer 3

Just keep practicing! yh like others said , join a club and pracice makes perfect. Enter local pool comptetions and win.

Answer 4

Well obviously you are going to want to practice hard and get very good, and you are probably going to want to get a coach.  Then you want to get your name out there by winning tournaments and being dominate to get sponsors.  I know guys that could play at a pro level, but can't afford it because of all the travel.  good luck!

Answer 5

To just agree with the good answers you already have ,Just come up through the ranks so to speak But instead of a pro try for a road player thats where the money is Pro players dont make that much for what all they have to do for it

Answer 6

Entering tournaments is a good start to see where you're at. Practicing will get you where you want to go. Learn from everything: your mistakes, your losses, watching other players (even players of lower skill levels may do something that surprises you), and when you win, like if the other player made mistakes or if you could have done something better.

Old saying: Good players practice until they get it right. Great players practice until they can't get it wrong.

Answer 7

Practice a ton and make sure you always enjoy it. Play in as many pool tournaments as you can and watch a lot of pool on TV and the internet

Answer 8

Like everything else in life, the answer is practice, and not just playing games, practicing for hours by yourself.

Practice your potting, but most of all your positioning, if you watch professional snooker players, even on tables four times the area of a pool table, you see them get the white where they need it for the next pot, which is then easy.

As you grow in skill, join your local team, then enter bigger and bigger competitions, if you get good enough you can turn professional.

I grew up in the same club as Terry Griffiths, world snooker champion in 1979, I watched him hour after hour sometimes practicing just one shot until he got it perfect, it can be boring but it's the only way to the top.
