The main postures of playing billiards are as follows:
V-Stick Gesture: Stretch out your left palm first, press your palm down on the table, and spread your fingers as far apart as possible. The fingertips and the base of the palm exert force, then the palm is slightly arched, and the thumb is cocked against the index finger to form a wide and powerful stable frame at the base. When the thumb is pressed against the index finger, a groove appears on which the club can be moved freely. This pole gesture is often used in **g and Chinese eight-ball matches, which is simple and stable.
Phoenix-eyed pole gesture: The little finger, ring finger and middle finger are rotated inward and arched together, the left side of the palm is pressed against the table, and the three fingers form a supporting gesture. When the left hand is at a right angle to the club, pinch the thumb and index finger of the left hand together. If you need to adjust the height, you can do so by extending or arching your middle finger.
Library side scaffold A: Make the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger close to the table, and the index finger ring to smash the cue. This type of rack is often used to hit the ball at a certain distance from the edge of the bank. Lift your index finger up, clamp the club under your index finger, and pull the club back and forth to adjust the point of impact and the strength of the shot.
Warehouse side scaffold B: The palm of the hand is open, and only the four fingers touch the countertop, which requires excellent stability. Beginners often make mistakes in hitting the cue ball because of unstable handframes. From the side, you can see the palm of the hand hanging in the air, and only the fingers are in contact with the edge of the library, which is suitable for hitting the main ball that is close to the edge of the library.
Reservoir Hand C: This hand frame will be used when hitting the cue ball in parallel along the edge of the library, with the little finger and ring finger attached to the edge of the library, and the index finger hanging down on the table. From the side, half of the palm is on the library, half of the palm is hanging on the edge of the library, the thumb is upturned, and the index and middle fingers are placed on the table, which is suitable for hitting the ball close to the edge of the library.
Ordinary Hand Rack: Place your hands flat on the table with your palms downward, from your wrists to your fingertips, and make a slight turn inward. The little finger, ring finger and middle finger are arched inward, the left side of the palm is pressed against the countertop, and the three fingers form a supporting gesture. When the left hand is at a right angle to the club, pinch the thumb and index finger of the left hand together. Once the thumb and forefinger form a circle, the club can be inserted into the circle to support the club. If you need to adjust the height, you can do so by extending or arching your middle finger.
In addition, there are a variety of postures such as post-Schino scaffolding, sticking warehouse scaffolding, side scaffolding, bag mouth scaffolding and volley scaffolding. Each pose has its own unique characteristics and applicable scenarios, and the appropriate posture can be selected according to personal habits and competition situations.
