I thought short arms were good for benching :smith:
Just wanted to say great thread. I started playing pool three months ago and bought my own cue about a month ago. I can beat the once every week or two player almost every time, but I would get crushed by a 7.

Are there any drills you would recommend doing? When I'm not playing games I usually just practice shots I miss frequently and practice hitting the cue ball with no spin.

How do you approach shots and visualizing how to run a table? How do you know when to play a safety or take a risky shot? Do you primarily think about whether the other player could run out?

Thanks for the response. I'm actually a single digit golfer, so I think that really helped with the transition to pool. I have a very set routine for my golf swing, so I wanted to hear what a good pool player did for a routine since you never really need to think more than two shots ahead on a hole.
