It is hardly possible to learn to play Russian billiards just by studying theory. But as you practice your skills in playing, always remember that even if you achieve outstanding results, there will always be someone who plays better than you. There are no invincible players in this sport. If after such parting words the desire to play billiards has not disappeared, proceed to specific actions.
It is necessary
Billiard table, set of balls, cue; coach-mentor
Instructions
Step 1
As dry as the theory is, start with it. Find printed materials about billiards and study them carefully. Today there are also a large number of videos containing billiards lessons. The disadvantages of this method of training are that when setting a strike, for example, there are many mistakes that a beginner cannot easily notice without the help of a qualified coach.
Step 2
Find a coach. The best player will not always be the best coach. In addition to playing skills, a good mentor must have communication talent, teaching experience and possess one of the training systems. Remember that you will have to pay to work with a coach. Negotiate discounts, for example, if you pay for several workouts in advance, it will cost you less. Approximately two hours of classes cost about $ 20-40.
Step 3
If you haven't found a coach yet, don't be discouraged. Find an opportunity to play billiard balls on your own, on a real gaming table. Watch the play of experienced players carefully. Gradually practice basic techniques and classic strikes.
Step 4
Learn to do a simple hit of the cue ball. Do the first hits of medium strength, you do not need to aim at the second ball. Your task is to get used to the impact. Make sure that the cue hit is in the center of the ball.
Step 5
Learn to handle the cue. The tool should move freely, smoothly, almost parallel to the surface of the playing field.
Step 6
Practice hitting the target with a cue ball. On the opposite side, use chalk to mark a row of dots. Place the ball on the table and use strikes in its center to consistently practice hitting these targets.
Step 7
Learn to pocket the cue ball. Place the ball in the middle of the table and hit it in the direction of the left pocket. Having worked out the hit, change the position of the ball on the table and the direction of the blow.
Step 8
You can now bring the second ball into play. Your task is to learn how to hit the cue ball in the right place on the second ball and send it in the chosen direction. While practicing, change the aiming point: first, try to hit "in the forehead", and then then to the right, then to the left side of the ball.
Step 9
Having worked out the initial skills, feel free to start playing with a partner. It is desirable that he slightly surpasses you in strength and technique, in this case you will have something to strive for. And remember that good and great results in billiards will only come as a result of regular exercise.
