"Position First and Foremost"

| Never forget that billiards is a game which is never mastered, not even by its most gifted exponents. There are scoring possibilities beyond anything accomplished by Tom Newman and Willie Smith, marvelous players as they are. If you remember this, it will keep you from becoming over-confident, from thinking that you can do more than you are able to accomplish. This advice is most valuable to amateurs who have a fair degree of skill at stroke play, and who are able to score on occasion from all sorts of positions, some of extreme difficulty. Cue men of this type are far from uncommon; I often meet with them when playing exhibition games against amateurs. The stroke play they exploit compels my admiration, but their ball control is often exceedingly faulty. I want to warn you against this bad failing. If you study position first, last, and all the time, your billiards must be steadily progressive; but it will always be jerky and uncertain if you specialize in individual strokes, no matter how brilliant they may be. | |||
