This may sound like a professional bombarding phrase, but I won't get into any advance stuff here. I simply want you to consider all your gaming options before each shot, and not rush into the first opportunity seems the best. The first thing to understand is that you don't have to put a ball in the hole to make a successful shot. Many players overlook the "safety" possibility. This is pretty self explanatory - it means you make a shot in order to entangle your opponent.
The forearm is responsible for making a straight shot, so try to keep your shoulder and arm stationary. Before you make the shot, move the stick back and forth a few times to make sure it's going straight and it doesn't deviant from its course. When moving it forward, try to bring the tip of the stick as closely as you can to the cue-ball, without touching it of course.
This is done by striking it just below the center, so it will slide across the table and won't roll upwards. Again, like the title reads, the idea here is to force the cue ball to come back after hitting the target ball.
This will totally mess up your game and will delay your aiming skills advancement greatly. The reason for this is that you can't really make sure your shot is going straight when doing so. Try to make a long movement with your shot instead. The right way for doing this is treating the shot like another back and forth movement. The difference is that this time, after stretching back your forearm, starts the forward movement a bit slower. Increase the power and speed as you go, and give an extra boost to your strike just before the cue reaches the white ball.
Another common mistake that will hurt your gaming is pulling the cue right away after making the shot. Your accuracy will be much better if instead, you'll linger a bit before pulling your cue. This way you make sure all of your focus is on the current shot, and you're no rushing to take your next one or to sit down and let your opponent play. Also, you'll be able to see if the cue went straight. I want to share with you one last tip about your right hand technique. Aim to get your cue about an inch or two past the point you're going to strike white ball. This is known to improve aiming tremendously. Really easy to use tips as you can see, but very important so don't ignore them. Hope this answers most of the questions I've received lately. Enjoy and go practice. - 31485
