7 Pool Hacks That Work Extremely Well

I created two digital books to go from 0 to 100 in the game of pool 👉 https://thepoolexplainer.gumroad.com/l/poolcompanion 7 pool hacks that work extremely well, and every one of them uses only what's already in your hands: the cue shaft, the chalk, your fingers and the diamonds on the rail. Each one takes less than a minute to learn, and each comes with a quick check you can try tonight. I'm Mike, and this is The Pool Explainer. I keep a small notebook of table-side tricks I've picked up from better players on league nights. These are the seven I use the most, drawn out on the table so you can see exactly why they work. The 7 hacks: 🎱 1. The edge line: hold the shaft along the edge of the cue ball's path, not the center, to see if it clears a blocking ball 🎱 2. Read a combination down the shaft: the line through both centers tells you in three seconds if the combo is really on 🎱 3. Will it fit through the gap: check both edge lines, and why only the cue stick is allowed to judge a gap in a match 🎱 4. Chalk like you mean it: every visit, brush don't drill, cover the edge of the tip, and never chalk facing the table 🎱 5. The ball frozen to the rail: check for light along the cushion, cushion a hair first on steep cuts, and a touch of running english 🎱 6. Land the cue ball off the rail: use the diamonds as a ruler (table length divided by eight) 🎱 7. Win the lag: shoot straight up a diamond line with center ball, and know every way to lose it before it stops At the end I run one full rack using all seven, in order.

Rules differ between leagues and halls. Using your cue to judge a path is allowed under most rulebooks, but marking the cloth, touching a ball, or measuring with a spare ball or the rack is a foul under the standard rules, and some leagues also ban using your hand. Check your league's rules before a match. Mike is a composite presenter voiced and rendered with AI for The Pool Explainer. The lessons are general pool instruction. © The Pool Explainer.
