Answer 1

Practice and make sure you work on your technique including your stroke and to stay down on all shots.

As far as the mental part just act like your playing somebody else and try just as hard if you were playing somebody.

Always look over the table

Answer 4

Telling someone to, "practice, practice, practice", doesn't help much if you don't know WHAT you're supposed to practice. Here is an answer I gave to a similar question.

"There are a few things you can do to get started.

Purchase a book by Robert Byrne titled Standard Book of Billiards and Pool. It's an invaluable source of knowledge for anyone ranging from a novice to a well seasoned player.

Find a local pool hall and ask around to see who the best shooters are. WATCH them play and you'll find some common denominators in their styles. The typically stay down after they shoot their shot and they don't move until all the balls have stopped moving, even it the shot is going to be bad or a ball isn't going to be pocketed. They shoot soft with a nice fluid stroke. You will seldom see them hammer the cue ball and if they do it's because there's good reason for it.

Once you find out who the better players are, ask them to engage in a game with you. The better players will be reluctant at first if they know you're a novice player but believe me when I say that they are also egotistical and will be more than happy to show what they know to a captive audience. Just ask ME! :)

The upside to all of this is that you can learn the rules and fundamentals of the game in a week-end.

The downside to your quest is that it will take you the rest of your natural life to keep learning and honing and perfecting your skills. But the reward at the end of the proverbial rainbow will be worth every minute of time you spend at the table.

I hope this helped. Good luck"!
