Basics of fancy nine-ball
After you stand in a good posture, hold the club correctly, face position and bridge method, prepare before hitting the ball. All the actions have been completed, and now comes the most important pendulum action. You have to do this slowly and rhythmically to get the club to hit the point where you want the cue ball to hit.
The pendulum movement is a preparatory movement before the correct impact. Its main point is to use the bent elbow as the axis, and then swing the wrist back and forth like a pendulum. At this time, no force should be exerted on the shoulders, elbows or wrists, and they should be swung in a relaxed and natural state. There is no special limit on the number of swings, but you must swing back and forth at the same speed until you feel the force is smooth before hitting the ball, so that you can hit the impact point correctly.
When you aim at the cue ball with a smooth pendulum movement, try to keep the tip of the cue ball at an appropriate distance from the cue ball (the closer the better, but be careful of fouling). Before taking the shot, you must be steady and unable to bridge. Shake.
As long as beginners fully practice the basic movements described in the previous article, they will be able to hit the cue ball smoothly. However, most beginners will wonder: "Why does the cue ball I hit often not move according to my ideas? But when watching other people hit the ball, the ball turns very obediently?"
Those who are skilled in the game A person can easily make the cue ball hit the target ball, or make the cue ball roll back after impact, and also hit the designated target ball into the designated ball bag. Beginners can only envy and envy such miraculous masters.
The following explains the basic impact method and the rotation of the ball.
If you are not careful when hitting the cue ball, it will be impossible to play well, and it will not be easy to improve your skills. If you want a small ball with a diameter of about six centimeters (2.25 inches) to rotate according to your own wishes after impact, you must remember the characteristics of these balls.
The cue ball has countless impact points. The more skilled the player, the more effectively they can grasp these subtle impact points, causing the cue ball itself to produce very subtle rotations. However, for beginners, as long as they can use some basic impact points, they can effectively impact the cue ball. If you can understand the impact point and rotation of the cue ball, you have begun to truly come into contact with the skills of fancy billiards. You can practice the essentials of billiards based on the basic knowledge of hitting points.
Changes in the impact point
The changes in the impact point of the cue ball can be roughly divided into four categories: push, center, pull and plunge.
The hitting point of the cue ball is basically divided into the center shot (commonly known as the center shot), the upper center shot (putter), the lower center shot (pull shot), and the right shot (right shot). (plug), hit the left side (left plug), hit the upper right corner (right plug push rod), hit the upper left corner (left plug push rod), hit the lower right corner (right plug push rod), hit the lower left corner (left plug push rod), etc. A hit point.
The putting ball hits the top of the cue ball. After being hit, the cue ball will roll forward. After the cue ball touches the target ball, it will continue to roll forward in its original direction.
The pull ball hits the bottom of the cue ball. After being hit, the cue ball will rotate backward and move forward. After touching the target ball, if the counter-rotation state is still maintained, it will move back.
The spinning ball (bottom ball) hits the side of the cue ball. After being hit, the cue ball will move forward and rotate like a top.
By striking different impact points on the cue ball, we can cause it to produce many different rotations as it moves forward, and also have many different route changes after it touches the target ball.
In the game of fancy pool, the cue ball must hit the target ball and knock the target ball out of the pocket. Therefore, the overlapping angle and forward path of the target ball after being hit must be taken into consideration. Therefore, there must be different choices for the impact point of the cue ball.
When you want to practice hitting the cue ball, you can start by practicing hitting the center line of the cue ball, high, middle and low points.
When you rotate the cue ball forward and sideways, subtle changes will occur after the cue ball is hit. Players must master those subtle changes as their skills gradually improve. . As for beginners, they must first become familiar with the impact of the three points on the center line, and then practice the impact points of other impact points.
When you hold the club and prepare to hit the ball, try to keep the club as level as possible. Beginners will most likely hit the ball slightly lower than the center point when hitting the ball, which can easily cause a mistake or slip (Miss Cue). The reason for this phenomenon is that the bridge is too high or too low.
To know whether you hit the center point of the cue ball when you hit the ball, you can hit the cue ball at a right angle to the star. If you hit the center point of the cue ball with a correct whipping action, the cue ball will still bounce back in a straight line after hitting the star. If the ball bounces back not at a right angle but to the left or right, it means that the ball did not hit the center point.
However, if you hit any point on the vertical axis (the center point above or below also belongs to the vertical axis), the cue ball will still bounce back in a straight line.
Although there are only nine basic impact points, there are actually countless impact points available for impact. Therefore, countless changes may occur after the cue ball is hit. Beginners must first thoroughly learn the impact of the three points on the center line before learning the other six basic impact points, as well as more subtle impact points. Apart from step-by-step practice, there is no quick method.
Please practice on your own regarding Follow Shot (hitting the top of the cue ball), Draw Shot (hitting the bottom of the cue ball), English (hitting the side of the cue ball), etc. have a look.
After you learn the impact of the three central points, if you are playing pool, you must consider how to smoothly hit the target ball you are aiming for into the pocket. And in order to continue hitting the ball, you must also consider where the cue ball should stay after hitting the target ball, so that you can continue to hit the next target ball (connecting ball). Sometimes in order to avoid the cue ball washing (the cue ball falling into the pocket), its impact point must also be carefully considered. After beginners can gradually master the key points of hitting the three points in the center, they can repeatedly practice putting balls, pulling balls, and then practice hitting balls. They can also practice repeatedly using target balls and stars.
