Is it better to be consistent with shots or is it better to try and go for the power shot

Hi Kevin,

This depends on your opponent.  It is playing the percentages. If you are playing someone a lot better than you and putting the ball on the table will lead to you losing for sure, then you can take a few more risks.  If they are not as good then you can rely on getting the ball on the table and beating them.
