Billiards
Every pupil in our coaching groups over the years and all our private clients are made aware of the “strokes of the game” of English Billiards without which many of the cue sport games of today with their need for understanding of the innumerable ways of striking, the effects of touch and feel, the appreciation of spatial awareness and the ability to quickly analyse a position and perform a stroke would be the poorer. Billiards is a game for thinkers and doers and complements the stun and screw game of the snooker /pool player with a whole new range of flowing strokes to be used to their advantage. It represents the pinnacle of stroke variation available on an English billiards table.
