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.

What order do you pot ball in pool?

That depends on which pool game you're playing. In 8-ball, you choose either the solid balls or the stripe balls and must pot those before attempting the 8-ball for the win. In 9-ball, you must pocket the balls in numerical order starting with the lowest numbered ball--potting the 9-ball on a legal shot wins the game. In 14.1, you shoot at anything. In one-pocket, when playing without handicaps, you shoot for any ball and the first player to make 8 balls in his/her designated pocket wins.
