Advanced Shots

Pool is a complicated game and regularly within a match the best shot to win won’t be a straightforward pot directly into the pocket. To be a good pool player you have to master a wide array for shots that require banking, jumping, combinations, or caroms to name a few possibilities.

Part of the beauty of American pool specifically is you have to be versatile with your skillset. Unlike snooker with its super tight pockets, American pool requires creative play and more risky type shots because of the larger pockets and smaller table sizes. These advanced shots increase your likelihood of getting out of sticky situations at the table to win more matches.
