I am fascinated to see how well some kids play billiard. No more than 8 years old, but they run shots as if they were 25.

Innate talent, training and practice make them great billiard players in small bodies.

They are essential to save defenses, to regain the initiative and often decisive when winning or losing a game. Today a pool player has to master the jump as he dominates the rest of beatings. Using a good jump cue will make it easier.
