my rank is pretty low so i reset my stats and now i'm a newbie again but should i play freindlies or ranked when i'm a newbie?

play friendlys, get beter at pool then once you think your pretty good play rank to win

Hi there, I'll advise you to re-set your stats once again and play just friendlies, and when you feel you've improved on your game play or you feel you have gone much better than before, you should start to rank and try get your personal best total

i done that last time thanks for the advice i'll do it again
edit: i play preety good the first few games i play then i get worse anyone know why that would be?

mm im terrible myself however lack of cocentration?, time your shots etc .. just dont rush them n u shud b fine i think

kk i have a really bad lack of concentration but i've started listening to music to keep me occupied i come on the forums through alot of games as well mabe thats a problem too

lol, i tend to do the same, random shots will mess your games about .. try not to do this as much? .. im going anyways..goodluck mate

yeh friendlies later on if you want cause am coming off for about an hour two hours mabe if your on cyi then

yeh pm me mate

That happens, it's natural, you will play good for first couple games but as you go on you will think your getting worse but your actaully learning, don't give up just keep trying and you'll get better eventually, my rank was roughly 634 not too long ago lol but I kept trying, so you keep trying too you'll get the hang of it

Playing friendlies is the worst thing you can do i think, you get in a comfort zone and start to not care about the shots you play meaning you loose alot more games. Just play ranked until you get to the desired rank you want.

also mess around with spins on practice table helps alot

do you know what i did when i was rubbish?, i made an account over on snooker and tbh it hekped alot, im not great but i was bad, i am good over on snooker now i now the angles and there pretty similar over on here, try it mate may not work for you but it has for me.

if you havent improved doing the above, then i advise you play about 5 games minimum on the practice table before even thinking about playing a game whether its ranked or friendly, hope this helps... gl matey

Practise make perfect. Apparently not in my case :*(

i'll just stay on this site thanks peeps

that is very tue. since i got my account on snooker im a lot better especially at long shots and snookers. try it poolcue it works trust

ok poolcue, your choice but trust me, it will be a hell of an improvement, you dont have to create an account then just log on as a guest and play, but it does work even madmiketyson agrees
