Billiards Tips - The Illustrated Principles of Pool

I have some billiards tips that I'd like to share with you. Billiards is a game of diligence and to do well in the game you have to have the right tools. It is recommended that you obtain your own cue as having one can be somewhat of a luxury.

A man by the name of Willie Smith set the trends for the heavier cues tips with a brass metal covering. That cue weights around 18 oz. The normal cue weights around 15 oz. to 16 oz. The length is about 4 feet 8 to 9 inches. Some go longer like 4 feet 10 inches weighting 17 oz, but the size and weight of the cue is strictly a personal taste.

You want to keep up-to-date with a cue when you're talking about the weight. The reason behind this is that the cue does all the work for you. You should go with a heavier cue than going with a lighter one. Some play with 17 oz. to 18 oz. for no reason at all. It just feels right in the hands of the player. You want enough wood in the cue for it to be stiff. The stiffer the cue is the better off it will be. Avoid the ones that move around and don't stay firm in your hand.

Once you get your own cue, it is wise not to lend it out to other players. A horrible player could wreak it in one play. Buy a cue with a good size tip with the surroundings in brass. Keep it polished with a dry cloth. Don't pay too much for one. You can get some at good prices if you shop around for them.

Ivory balls are the best to use and are used in championship games. They can be expensive, but the investment is well worth it. When you play with composition balls the angle to the shot needs to be wider. Once you begin to get serious about your game, it is hard to transfer playing from the ivory balls to the composition balls. You get use to shots being a certain way with the ways the ball is made.
