CUE TIPS

#10- Table running too slow? Focus on cueing smoothly and notice the difference!

#9- Expect some good days and bad days, take the positives out of every match.

#8- Watch the top players and learn how they play. Just so happens that KINGS CUP is around the corner!

#7- Enjoy the game!

#6- Neil Robertson says “don’t expect too much if you don’t put the work in”

#5- When playing poorly in a match, don’t worry about your technique. Instead, concentrate harder and have a little faith. If you lose, just accept that you weren’t good enough that day.

#4- Don’t change your technique by yourself unless you know “exactly” what you are doing. Seek help from a qualified coach. Changing your technique will send you backwards and you might not need to change it.

#3- Take note of your weaknesses and turn them into your strengths.

#2- Always look calm and focused when playing. Looking agitated will give your opponent a psychological advantage.

#1- When aiming, look to make sure your tip is on the center of the white otherwise you may be playing with side spin without knowing. Or worse still, it might become a habit and will be a nightmare to fix!
