Billiard is a very fun and exciting game, known and spread all over the world, both amateur and professional, so much so as to become a real sport. There are several ways to play billiards, but the most important thing to start is to learn the basic rules. Once you master the basic rules, you can start experimenting with various game techniques.
Only in Italy there are several variations and subheadings of the game of billiards: from classic carob to billiards Italian 5 pins, from gorizia 9 pins to flasks. There are also variants from other countries, such as American billiards, the Russian pyramid, snooker and the English pool. So let’s find out together what are the most important game varieties and the basic rules to know to play Italian billiards.
The game of Italian billiards usually groups together a series of specialties of the game of billiards that originated in Italy and that have subsequently spread to different parts of the world. All the disciplines of Italian billiards are practiced on a pool table without holes, also called international table from carambola. For the different specialties of Italian billiards, a minimum of three to a maximum of nine colored balls are used, all of the same diameter. Depending on the variants, five or nine small pins are also used, white in color, and only one red in color.
In all specialties of Italian billiards the aim of the game is to reach the number of points set for each game (or more games in case you decide to play more rounds). The basic rules are that during the game each player performs an alternating shot. At the center of the billiard table are placed pins, forming a cross (the pin in the center is red, while the others are white). Players pull once to head: the goal is to hit with your ball the opponent. Each time the shot hits, the player scores points (2 points if you shoot down the white pins, 5 points if you shoot down the red pin, and 4 points if you hit both).
Billiards is a fascinating and fun sport, but to play well you will need to learn to hold the cue correctly. The cue should be held with the right hand if you are right-handed, or in the left if you are left-handed, and the hand should be placed about three quarters of the length of the cue. The hand should not be clasped around the splint, but should be positioned so that it can move freely. Once you have learned to hold the cue correctly, you need to do some tests to figure out which is the best position to hit the ball. To hit the ball in the correct way, it is important to make a fluid and natural movement. The cue should be held steady and the hand should be raised slowly before hitting the ball. After hitting the ball, the cue should be let go so that it does not freeze. With a little practice, learning how to hold the pool cue correctly will be a breeze!
To hit the billiard balls it is important to have good aim. There are several ways to perfect your aim. First, put the tip of the stick in before each blow, taking care not to turn the chalk directly at the tip. To have maximum control over the shot always try to:
You can practice using your non-dominant hand to perfect your aim and technique. This is because sometimes, in the game of billiards, it happens that you have to shoot a shot at an angle that would be uncomfortable with the dominant hand. By training the other hand, with the right exercise you will become proficient even in performing the most difficult shots.
