If I only could choose a billiard player as my favorite, Niels Feijen would be the chosen one. It seems to me the most complete with difference: for its consistency, for its resistance and, of course, for its quality at the table. In this week's article we will see the 6 facts that have taken the Dutchman to the top of the world pool. With all of you, the best of "Terminator".

1- Routine
We have commented many times how important routine is in any precision sport like billiards. Niels Fiejen is one of those top billiard players with a very refined routine. Prepare each shot in the same way, follow a marked ritual and that is what allows you to always be in the area, ready to kill.

2- Technique
From Niels Feijen's technique we can highlight at least two details: one, the alignment with his dominant eye (right): unlike most billiards, he places the cue very to the right of his head, probably due to a problem of view; and two, the "paradiña" just before hitting the white ball: in the last preshot, he stops half a second and immediately penetrates the cue with the softness that characterizes him.

The Dutchman Niels Fiejen is undoubtedly one of the most competitive billiards players in the professional circuit. No matter the rival or if the tournament is small, always gives the maximum of himself and concentrates as if it were the final of the World Pool Masters.
