Question by jake d: Why do snooker and pool players have different ant cue actions and which is better?
I play snooker and i was told that you always have to have 4 points of contact with the cue, the bridge, chin, chest and cueing hand. Though i’ve been watching many pool players and notice that they dont have any contact with the chin or chest. Some barely even get down to the ball! They all so seem to have a much larger and loose cue action. I was wondering why this is and which is better!

Best answer:

Answer by Vegas Matt
Before I go into it, I will say that many modern pool coaches teach a more snooker style approach to the game. Right now there are still a lot of pool players set in the older style of playing, but as the years progress you will see more and more professional pool players with snooker-like mechanics.

In snooker, the primary focus is on accuracy. You must be able to sink 8-10 foot cut shots, so precise aiming and pinpoint accuracy are paramount. In pool you still need to be accurate, but it’s not as critical. You are also using more power (in general) and more spin on the cue ball. Mechanically, it is easier to generate power with a more upright stance and a looser wrist, and you can still accurate enough to make just about every shot you encounter.

Anyway, if you’re a snooker player, stick with snooker mechanics. You’re not going to see much, if any, advantages to using a pool style approach at the snooker table. And if you decide to venture into the world of pool, you can still play well with snooker mechanics.
