Learn to pot the ball like Mark Williams
First, you've got to be able to sight the ball well. Basically, that's knowing what will and won't pot. Then, you've got to stay steady on the shot - don't take a flyer at it because your cue action will just go to pieces. And thirdly - make sure you pot it! It might be a while before you get another chance! There are several drills you can use to practice. The easiest is just to set up the cue ball and object ball for a particular shot then practice it six or seven times. Try to understand how you are aiming and playing the shot. If you're playing in and around the black ball, it's more about control and touch - and knowing how fast the table is. Long potting is all about confidence - and good eyesight! Think positive! If you're feeling down or lacking a bit of confidence, your game goes. You start thinking about the balls you might miss more than the ones you are going to pot. Snooker is all about keeping the same action for every shot, regardless of what type of shot it is. It's about good technique. Get that right, and the rest of your game follows.
