  • Get a cue: You want one that feels good in your hands, with enough wrap to give you a good grip. Look for a stick about 19-20 ounces, and about 58″ in length.
  • Focus on form: Don’t grip the stick too hard with your non-shooting hand. Practice a soft grip that allows the cue stick to move smoothly as you take the shot.
  • Take it easy on the chalk: Though you need to chalk the cue tip before every shot, don’t grind the chalk cube. A little bit goes a long way.
  • Take your time: Lining up the best shot is part art, part science. Take your time, and see where the ball will go before you strike it.

We hope you use these tips during a billiards game in our club room. Our team encourages you to contact us at 888 San Mateo for helpful information regarding our brand new apartments in San Mateo.
