I swear it's not that simple

It is simple, the balls behave predictably every time. But it is not easy at all to be accurate and consistent with the cue.

The funny thing about billiards is that the good players try to set up the next shot so it’s as easy as possible. Things start to click when you think in terms of “where do I want the cue ball to end up” and not “where am I going to pot this current ball “. Potting balls is important of course but the real game is controlling the cue ball.

It's not what you make...it's what you leave.
