As with most sports, it is vitally important that the basics of the game are covered before you begin to practice in earnest. Failure to do so will result in you learning bad habits and practicing the "wrong things" in the "wrong way".

This will slow your development and limit the enjoyment you obtain from playing and learning about snooker. Once bad habits are ingrained into your play they are extremely difficult to eradicate.

If you are relatively new to the game then you have the opportunity to start from scratch and develop a sound basis from which to progress. If you have played for a while you may already have developed problems with your technique, which you would be well advised to address as soon as possible.

The five featured subjects within this link concentrate on the main aspects of the game that need to be considered before you can hope to pot balls consistently.

All are equally important, but pay special attention to The Grip and The Bridge. One provides the stability and the other the mechanics for straight cueing - the foundation for successful snooker.
