Where to Hit the Cue Ball? 🎯 (Part 1)

Hey, I’m J C! Welcome to Missed Again, the pool channel for advanced beginners stuck in the “awkward middle” of the game. This isn’t about perfect play. It’s about my honest struggles, frustrating misses, and the small breakthroughs that make a big difference. I explore why I miss, what I’m learning, and how I’m working through it, so you can, too. In today’s video, we’re breaking down one of the most common beginner questions in pool: “Where should I hit the cue ball?” This topic was requested by jak7520, and it’s something I struggled with early in my own game. Back then, I knew about follow and draw, but I didn’t really understand when, where, or why to strike specific spots on the cue ball. Learning that made a huge difference in my game—and I wish I had figured it out much earlier. To help you avoid the same confusion, I’ll walk you through the fundamentals of cue ball contact points and how they affect your position play. Since this is a big topic, I’ve split it into two parts. If you’ve ever been unsure where to hit the cue ball or why it matters, this video will help you build confidence and take more control over your game. 👉 Watch now to finally understand where to hit the cue ball and why it makes all the difference.
