A Brief Introduction To Billiards Denver

By Bernice Terry


You may have heard of billiards Denver. However you may not necessarily be aware of what it is and how you play it. With a quick guide you can not only learn what you are playing but a few tips to allow you to develop your game and show off your skills!

The first thing to be aware of is that there are two main types of billiards. There is the pocket version of the game that is similar to snooker and pool. In this version of the game you pot balls in much the same way as pool and snooker, albeit on a table that has been specifically set up for billiards.

Both games require care and precision. A good player should not rush shots and you need to use the cue in the right way. However as well as using the right angles you also have to think tactically. In any cue game the key is also the mental approach. As much as possible it is vital to think a few moves ahead!

The other and more familiar version is pocket billiards. This works in a similar way to pool and snooker in that the idea is to hit the balls into pockets. With either version it requires both a smooth technique and smart tactical thinking. The best players not only know how to line up a shot but can also think what their opponent will do next!

You need to line up carefully. Lean across the table at a 45 degree angle with one foot on the floor. This foot should be the same as your strongest arm for example your left foot alongside left hand if you are left handed. If you have difficulty keeping one foot on the floor either use a reach or consider another shot that you can do on one foot.

Ideally you need to keep vertical with your chin around an inch to six inches from the cue. Grip it comfortably and relaxed, making sure it cannot slip and ensuring a smooth action. Use your fingers to form a bridge to rest the cue on your hand in order to line up the shot.

A common mistake players make when they play for the first time is to go for purely offensive shots. The danger of this is that you can unintentionally give opportunities to your opponents. Remember to take your time and look carefully rather than react. The best players take their time!

Remember with billiards Denver and indeed any other cue game that the movement needs to be a smooth pendulum. As stated before do not rush this! Look online for video tutorials to ensure the best technique. As you become more confident it will become easier to do the bouncing trick shots to get the most from your game.
