On the basic level billiards Denver is a game where balls are hit with a 58 inch stick that weighs between 18 to 20 ounces. It is played on a rectangular table similar to snooker and pool. However there are a few crucial differences when playing this rather than pool or snooker.
The theory is that the game was invented as kind of indoor version of croquet, roughly around the fifteenth century. In effect the cue was the equivalent of the mallet and the table was there as a substitute for the wicket. Over time it then developed into its own game with its own variations.
Both games require care and precision. A good player should not rush shots and you need to use the cue in the right way. However as well as using the right angles you also have to think tactically. In any cue game the key is also the mental approach. As much as possible it is vital to think a few moves ahead!
With carom you have to look at where the balls are positioned. Ideally you want to make sure the balls are positioned together so that you can hit shots that offer more points as you bounce off more and more. Some versions of the game may not allow deliberate grouping so check this before you play.
To setup a shot effectively you stronger hand needs to line up with the same foot. For example if you are left handed you would line up your body on a 45 degree angle using your left foot. In a lot of cases you will be expected to keep one foot on the ground so if this is awkward you may need to get an extra reach or line up another shot.
The idea is to bridge your fingers so that the cue can rest. The action of using the cue ought to be a careful swing done in a pendulum style movement. Do it gradually, looking carefully to see where it will hit the ball as this will affect the way the ball moves. Practise lining up before you hit as this makes it easier when you connect.
In terms of head movement ideally your head ought to be between an inch to six inches above the cue. This in contrast to snooker where players nearly always have their heads practically next to the cue while professional pool players will often tilt their head while shooting, something that tends not to happen with snooker or billiard players. Moving your head closer will make a shot more accurate but this does mean there will be less range in terms of movement.
Before playing billiards Denver it is a good idea to look online for tutorial videos. These will give you a physical step by step guide you can watch in order to learn how to physically move but also develop your mental game as well. With the right approach you can then go on to look for clubs in your local area and play with enthusiastic amateurs and possibly even professionals!
