🎱 Cue Tip Of The Week - Week Three🎱

I get asked about sidespin a lot. My answer is usually simple — if you’re not comfortable with it, don’t force it.
There’s a misconception that you need sidespin a lot of the time to create angles, especially off cushions. In reality, good position is about leaving natural angles, having the cue ball travel as little as possible, and choosing the simplest route.
On open pots where the cue ball isn’t hitting a cushion, side is often unnecessary and just adds more variables and opportunities for things to go wrong. Keep it simple!!

🎱 Cue Tip Of The Week - Week Two 🎱

When buying a cue, if you are unsure which cue length to choose, a practical guideline is to measure from the floor to your collarbone and select a cue that most closely matches that measurement.
Cue length is ultimately a matter of personal preference; however, this method provides a useful starting point for players who have not yet developed a clear preference.

🎱 Cue Tip of the Week – Week One 🎱

STOP TRYING TO HIT THE BREAK AS HARD AS POSSIBLE! A phrase I always keep in mind is: “Hit the break as hard as you can control.”
The break is the most important shot in pool—it sets the tone for the entire frame. When you attempt to put maximum power into every break, you sacrifice a significant amount of control. An effective break is as much about timing as it is about power. Focus on striking the front ball as cleanly and flush as possible, and you will notice a substantial improvement in consistency and results.

Welcome to my coaching page! I'm Stuart Smith, a pool player turned coach from Aberdeen.

A bit about me:
Hi, I'm Stuart, a dedicated pool player with a lifelong passion for the game and a thirst for knowledge and improvement. I first picked up a cue at 12 years old after being introduced to snooker by my late Papa and what began as a hobby quickly grew into a love for cue-sports.

Aside from playing, I’ve always had an interest in helping other players improve their game. Before coaching pool, I gained experience as a Junior Badminton coach which helped me develop my ability to communicate clearly, guide players and break down techniques in a way that all players can understand.

I started coaching pool because I genuinely enjoy teaching and sharing the knowledge I’ve gathered, from years of playing, analysing the game, and picking the brains of some of the most adept coaches/players around. I'm looking forward to passing that knowledge on to anyone who interested in improving their game!

If I sound like the coach for you, feel free to message me or text/WhatsApp me at 07385250651 for more information
