Q: "Every Saturday I get tonked at pool. How can I start whupping my mates with minimal effort?" … Max, via email
A: We tore pub pool champ Frankie Sargeant away from counting the winnings from his last tournie. “Do these five things,” he says, “and you’ll transform your game…”
1. Always hit the shot hard. Most pub tables are not very level and shots can roll off if hit gently. It also gives you a chance of getting lucky.
2. Master cue ball control – striking the white below the centre will enable you to screw the ball back; hitting it above the centre will make it follow through.
3. Play snooker once a week. It’s more difficult and will help sharpen your potting.
4. Buy your own cue. You’ll be consistent and it’ll be miles better than bent house cues with rock-hard leather tips.
5. If you’re female, wear a short skirt and a low top. It puts us blokes off every time.
