i enjoy pool(billiards) as much as the next person, but i get really intimidated by some of those really good pool players. also, i have a real problem cueing the white ball square in the centre when the white ball touches the cushioning on the side of the table, i always seem to miscue, and the ball always goes askew. and what is the best method of breaking a frame? and anybody has any idea on INTERNATIONAL RULES for pool? thanks in advance!!

Hi I have been playing pool for a while, and help run the 30K tour in southern Ontario. You are more then likely jacking up the butt end of ur cue. For every 1 degree of elevation on the butt of ur cue causes 5% margin of error in ur shot so try keeping your cue as level as possible on ALL your shots. If possible also try not to bridge on the rails and always remember to follow through on your shot. Try looking up BCA rules that should answer all your questions

I've played pool ,but I am not all that good at it.One thing that I know is if you want to be the best then learn from the best.The easiest way to learn is by playing with the best.It doesn't matter if you lose as long as you keep learning.Sooner or later you will be challenging the pros and help some newbie master the game. :)
