How To Set Up Your Next Shot

How To Set Up Your Next Shot
When we play pool or snooker for that matter, it is an extremely good skill to know how to place your next shot after potting a ball. To reiterate this point, we will highlight some key ways you can do this better.

Guaranteed Pot
Before you start thinking about your next shot, be certain that you can pot the first object ball prior to planning where your cue ball will turn up. If you miss the pot then you basically sacrifice your shot and your cue ball’s placement afterward would have been pointless.

What Type of Shot To Use
Depending on where you want to place your cue ball after it’s contact with the object ball, will determine which type of shot you want to use. For example, if you want the ball to end up towards the left side of the table after your shot, then you should aim at using a left-spinning English shot. Or if you want the cue ball to stay put after hitting the object ball you use a draw shot. Refer to the many different types of shots and you will for sure be able to utilize them in your next match.
