Beginner billiards! Do you practice well by yourself or learn well from others? Which is faster?

Only by combining our own practice with actual combat can we make faster progress.

Self-practice and actual combat play different roles:

What you practice in actual combat is psychology, but what you practice is technology.

Actual combat is the result, and self-practice is the process. The ultimate goal of practice is actual combat. Practice is equivalent to the process, and actual combat is the ultimate goal.

Actual combat is the driving force, and self-practice is action. Practicing only by yourself will lead to no motivation, boredom, irregular discussion with others, and encouragement or punishment will improve the enthusiasm of practice.

Actual combat is leak detection, and personal contact is to fill the gap. Find your own shortcomings in actual combat and make up for them in the process of practice. Actual combat is a tool to test practice.

To sum up, in order to make progress in billiards, actual combat and practice are essential. The ratio of actual combat to practice depends on the situation. It's a good choice to practice half the time and half the time.
