 Basic Lessons: Aiming Technique:
   Submitted by Kurt

As you read or have read instructions regarding how to aim I am sure you have noticed that whatever technique is being taught there is always a point when you are instructed to look at the object ball when stroking the actual shot "trusting" the tip position on the cue ball based on a "locked-in" straight stroke. I shot this way for many years which did result in being a better than average league player and a tournament player who mostly fell short of the money.

 Basic Lessons: Blackjack's Myths & Facts About Cue Ball Control
   Submitted by David Sapolis (DavidSapolis-Blackjack)

The Cue Ball

Contrary to popular belief, the cue ball will not do anything that you don't tell it to do. Read that over and over until it sinks in. If you miss a shot or position, guess why. You told it to do what it did. The prerequisite for cue ball control is self control.

 Basic Lessons: Bridging The Gap
   Submitted by David Sapolis (DavidSapolis-Blackjack)

So what’s so important about the bridge?

For many experienced players the bridge is a pretty natural thing. We don’t think about it, we just plop our hand down on the table and slip the shaft between our fingers and shoot away. What’s the big deal? Many shots are missed due to basic flaws in the bridge. Listed below are some of them. There may be more, but these are the most common.

 Basic Lessons: Rifle-like Cue Aiming in Pool
   Submitted by Walter Riley (rileywc)

Pool beginners easily learn to see the object ball contact point (CP). The problem is that they often use a rifle-like sighting down the cue through the center of the cue ball at the object ball CP, which always undercuts the object ball.
