The Break

The most important thing in the 9 Ball game is the  break shot..
A good player will sink a ball on-the-break and then run out the table,
with his opponent never getting a chance to shoot.

Think Ahead

Think at least 3 steps ahead, so if you'll miss the 9-ball on the first shot,
you'll be able to pocket it on the next shot.

Snookered Situation

If you are snookered and have little chance of shooting the lowest-numbered ball,
think over taking a foul by hit one ball against another, creating a mass and making it harder for your opponent to run the table.

Balance 

The most important thing is the balance. If you want to play good  you must first find your balance.
Good balance is obtained by having a good stance. If you are solid on the shot then you will be able to pot with more consistency.
