My father use to be a pro-pool player and he always tells me that all you have to do to become a good player is practice and have a smooth stroke.  He says if you have a good stroke its pretty easy from there

Answer 6

Glad to know there's actually other girls who like pool!

Play a lot is the best thing to do.  First, you get a new cue, it will help you get used to something to play with instead of having to play with scrubby house cues.  Next, find a partner to play with as much as possible, even if they stink, it's still fun.

Get the stance right.  As a girl, it's easier for me to point one foot towards the cue ball and the other outward to level and hold myself into position.  Keep in mind that your cue needs to be as level with the table at all times possible.  (Meaning that the stick should be parallel to the pool table)  Keep your head down, too.  It's easier to see the ball and angle you are trying to hit.  (Plus it makes you look slick---->)

Keep your forearm and elbow at a 90 degree angle and this will keep your arm steady.  It takes getting used to but it helps in the long run.  Keep your bridge hand steady at all times, too.  That is where the point of contact with the ball is closest to.

9 Ball is a really good fame to start out with because it's less confusing with only 9 balls on the table, and it gives you a head start with positioning the ball.  That's my favorite game, by the way :)

The number one thing about being a good billiard player is having confidence.  It doesn't matter how many balls you miss in that pocket-- at least you are practicing.  Don't be a sore loser because that shows that you are not a confident player, and it also lets the other person know that you really didn't enjoy playing a game with them.

Have fun, and I hope this helps you!

Good Luck
