9- There is no foolproof trick to become champion someday. Well yes, one. Practice, practice, practice , and when you get tired, practice even more. The pool is a very technical game, very routine, which requires well – learned theory but mostly dominate the table by heart. You need many hours of training to accustom the arm to each type of shot and to get your body play alone, without thinking. Not forgetting of course not enough training, you have to compete.

10- The pros never reveal their biggest secret . Always they keep it . But what they can not cover is the way they play, so watch them , study them and learn all of them. Hint: Look at how little they tend to risk and how much abuse the white center. So hit the white always (or almost always) in the center, it may be your big secret.
