Step 1
Practice striking the cue ball with your cue stick. Go to a pool hall or tavern and practice playing alone or buy a pool table for your recreation room.
-
Step 2
Hold the cue stick with your dominant hand grasping the thick part. Pick up the stick with your hand over the stick. Grasp with your thumb touching the stick and your other fingers wrapped around the stick.
-
Step 3
Use your other hand to guide the stick. Place your thumb and index finger on the pool table, making a semi circle on the table, and allow the pointer end of the cue stick to go between them.
-
Step 4
Position the cue ball. Place the cue ball on the table anywhere you like behind the first line.
-
Step 5
Aim your cue stick at the center of the cue ball. Draw the stick back and then push forward providing speed until you contact the cue ball.
-
Step 6
Take your next shot. You must shoot the cue ball from wherever it lands. Line it up with the ball you want to sink, draw back and shoot. Continue playing pool until you sink all the balls.
