Training
I am sure it's a subjective issue, but I find that in the physical environment, lighting, color of table and surrounding vertical surfaces that I play in, I find it easier to track an orange ball as opposed to the white ball.
Tracking the ball is a weakness that I am constantly working on. Any thoughts or suggestions on this vital aspect of the sport?
Hi Paul,
It's quite common for players to have a preference for ball colour due to various environmental factors. The ease of tracking an orange ball versus a white one can be influenced by the lighting, as well as the colour of the table and the surrounding areas. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions on how you can improve this vital aspect of your game:
Improving your ability to track the ball is firstly and foremost about tracking practice. If you can influence the environmental adjustments then aim to do that as well. Keep working on it, and you'll likely find improvement over time.
