Billiard (Pool) Lesson 4
This practice shot can be done same time when you are doing the one in lesson 3. Both are kind of similar but still different.
Practice shooting a straight shot in a corner pocket as shown below.
Setup the shot as shown above. Try to keep the cue ball to the left hand side away from the right rail. Try to shoot as many shots without missing one. In starting, you could try to shoot all the balls in a minimum time. Later try to shoot at least 5 shots without missing one. Finally, you should be shooting at least 10 shots without missing one.
Repeat it for other corner pocket too. In that case, try to keep the cue ball to the right hand side away from the left rail.
One can do it with stop shot or with litle drift.
Later on after mastering the shot, try to draw straight back. If you can draw straight back without missing the shot, you are on your way to mastering the game : ).
Congratulation!!!
