[edit] Billiard Techniques

ResolvedJust an FYI.

[Moved from Talk:Cue sport after article split.]

In response to a number of requests for it, I moved the section of shooting techniques, and made an attempt to organize it. I am SURE it needs more work, but it should be easier to change now. I added a link to it in the normal (internal) links section.

This has of course long since become the Cue sports techniques article. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 01:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting the Cue sport article

[Moved from Talk:Cue sport after article split.]

Still unresolved: Needs additional info on stance, stroke, etc.

I think there should be seperate articles for the different kinds of shots in billiards, as well as a different page for position play, stance, stroke, Shooting techniques/mechanics. The article is too long by around 4 KB. 128.6.176.51 20:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't see any need for that much splitting. The Cue sports techniques article could handle all of these subtopics; see below. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 01:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stroke and Stance

[Moved from Talk:Cue sport after article split.]

Still unresolved: Needs additional info on stance, stroke, etc.

I want to add a section on stroke and stance with cues, but I don't know where to put it. Should it put it in the cue stick section or in here? 70.111.251.203 14:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good topic for a new article. It's an exhaustive subject, requiring lots of photos or illustrations, so I don't think it could be adequately explained as a section of this article without taking up way too much space. I'd recommend getting a user name and starting a new article on it. Plenty of folks here would be glad to help. Kafziel 15:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, there should probably be a seperate page for all billiard equipment, since I found some pages that weren't even linked to on this main page. Of course a short description of each item should be kept, but it'd be better organized on one whole article page. 128.6.176.51 20:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Force-follow, and force-draw

ResolvedMaterial restored.

Please refrain from removing these shot types. They are indeed as important as follow, and draw, if not well known. --Ben414 21:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
