subject: Snooker Skills - Top 7 Ways To Improve Your Snooker Skills, Fast [print this page] Snooker skills might be hard to master, especially for newbie players. If you're struggling with your snooker gaming, or if you wish to further improve your skills, this just might be what you're looking for.
Concentrate
One of the important, overlooked tips in the snooker game. This game is played with the mind, as well as the body. If you wish to have better skills, concentrate on the game when playing.
relax
Like the title reads, try to relax and "let go" your body. The looser you'll be, the better your shots will be.
Don't forget to chalk
This is a bit of a drag, but very important. Put chalk on your cue's tip after each and every shot. Getting used to it is easier and faster than you might think.
Learn from your mistakes
Robert Kiyosaki, the famous "Rich Dad" series' author, says that he owes his fortune to his life experience, gained mainly from his mistakes. I think it applies to Snooker as well. When you don't make a shot, think about why it happened, and what you can benefit from that experience.
Push yourself with a challenging partner
My favorite tip for perfecting your snooker skills. Whether you like it or not, you play according to your partner's skills. If he is no match to you, you won't gain much by playing with him. If he is just a bit above your level, that's perfect. You need to really make an effort to win.
Have a vision
If you're just learning to play I advice you to focus on the basic skills of the game, but it's a good policy to always think about the next shot, even if you still can't make good English (spin-action) shots.
Keep your eyes on the cue ball
Many players make this mistake, even experienced ones. After "fixing" yourself on an aiming angle, make sure you keep your eyes on the white ball. This way you can make sure you're hitting it where YOU want to hit it.
