I've played billiard before because somebody taught me a little. But i wanted to know some more techniques, that's why im here to know if somebody could help me how to play billiard. I am very interested to this game. I am a girl but i guess it doesn't matter with my gender playing billiard.

It just takes practice. Start with the basics, and don't worry about trick shots or anything fancy. If you've taken any physics courses (one of the best pool "sharks" I knew was a graduate student in the Physics department at OSU back in the late 70s and early 80s), that helps, too (angles of reflection correspond to angles for bank shots). Then when you get better, try hitting the cue ball at different spots (makes it spin and go in different directions). Good luck!

Hi gantwick, thank you so much for the good response. I will try to practice only since i can't go to school because of not yet driver's license. Maybe after receive my driver's license then im sure i will go to the billiard shool. So for now just practice only till i make it. I believed constant make you feel better. Good advice!

I was fortunate enough to have a pool table at home when I was in high school. My dad liked to play, and one day he decided to buy one. Pretty good strategy, actually. My parents knew where I was at night on the weekends. LOL

What specific game you want to learn? For 9 Balls: Just hit the balls according to the number of balls if you hit other # first before hitting the main ball, its a foul. So your opponent has the chance to get the ball and place everywhere on the table. Three consecutive fouls the opponent wins.

ey judyann_30 you just have to put your imaginations to reality. wat i mean is be creative don't just start with the basics combine it with wat you think is right wat you think is good to do.. you should practice with an opponent that you will have fun to play with because practicing alone is no fun at all. don't get mad if you can't do things. just do it without thinking and it will just happen everything is just up to wat you decide.. gud luck
