stroke onStroke on with About.com--it's the bomb. Do it right and sink shots all night!

Continuing my primer on aim by getting your stroke and stance touched up. Clear, simple and all in one lesson. Read the latest articles with a cue stick in hand. These are the techniques I'm using to win, all the time. People are afraid to play me and rattling shots. It's great!

A New Aim Primer

Wednesday May 2, 2012

aim primer, Playing ProfessionalsI've written extensively on aiming in pool and billiards, especially the past two years--but not enough. I'm opening a new aim primer today, a manual of how to aim, so that you understand what playing professionals have in their toolbelt. How would six or seven different pros aim the same shot?

Read on with me this month, and discover the answers for yourself. Try all the aim methods and find the one(s) that work best for you.

Drill, baby, drill, for the Drill Instructor!

The Drill Instructor, a.k.a. Dominic Esposito, is a knowledgable billiards teacher who whips (okay, encourages) his students into shape... pool shape.

Do this drill he recommends in April's lesson and you'll be more ready than ever to compete in tournament and league play.
