A consistent Pre-Shot Routine sets the tone for every shot. Chalk mindfully before stepping into the shot with your eyes on the target on the object ball. We always start and finish every shot with our eyes on the target. Once you're finished with your warm-up strokes, the phrase "peanut butter and jelly" can be a great reminder to pull the cue back slow and controlled before shooting the shot. Stay down after hitting the ball for that post-shot analysis. #billiards #billiardsinstructor #poolcoa

One of the biggest mistakes amateur players make in 8-ball is clearing the table without a plan on how to solve their problems. Without a strategy, all youโ€™ve really done is cleared the traffic for your opponent. In 8-ball, youโ€™re either ๐™ง๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ (running out when the table with no problems) or youโ€™re ๐™™๐™ช๐™˜๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ (looking for a defensive shot while your blockers are still on the table).

When I noticed my cue wasnโ€™t finishing straight in recent videos, I went back to basics with this drill! Dubbed the MoFUDAT (Most Fundamental Useful Drill of All Time) by Dr. Dave, itโ€™s simple yet highly effective. Place the cue ball on the spot and shoot toward the center diamond, letting it return to your tip. Start with a slow-speed follow shot, then gradually increase speed while adjusting your tip lower. A great way to reset and fine-tune your strokeโ€”happy practicing! #MoFUDAT #Billiards #B

Get the cue ball to five different positions off the same shot. This is an advanced drill that's definitely worth practicing! You'll start noticing variations of this shot in every match. Tag someone in the comments youโ€™d want to try this with!

If you have a ball in hand but with no clear breakout shot, donโ€™t force it. Sometimes the smartest move is a defensive one. Use your shot to reposition, play safe, or set yourself up for a better chance later. Lag a ball near a pocket or create a future breakout angle. Patience wins games.

Practice this 8-ball defensive shot and start winning more games! Mastering the finesse speed for this shot requires moving both the grip and bridge hands forward on the cue stick to get closer to the cue ball for more control. Compact your stroke and your acceleration through the ball and lock up your opponent for the win. #Billiards #BilliardsInstructor #PoolCoach #BilliardLessons #BilliardTraining #Pool #Snooker #CueSports #BilliardLife #EightBall #NineBall #TrickShots #ColoradoBilliards #Den
