Like any sport, it takes knowledge, talent, skill, practice, and the practical application of the basic fundamentals to be able to consistently pocket balls.

Just as anyone can throw a Basketball through a hoop. It takes a lot more to be a professional basketball player.

The fundamentals of pool are: Stance, grip, bridge, aim, and stroke. Get a good understanding and appreciation for each of these and your game is bound to improve.
