Yeah! They're pretty basic rules, the trick of it is knowing how to get the shot in. And then learning how to do tricky stuff, but we'll save that for later.
So for holding the cue, right, it's like this--
[He demonstrates: holding the base of the cue in his right hand, threading it under his left thumb and between his pointer and middle fingers.]
There's a couple different ways to hold it, but the point is to make as accurate and strong a hit as you can. This works for me, but there's no rule against experimenting.
[He pushes the cue a few times in demonstration before bending over, eyes narrowing. It isn't as if Kakyoin knows much better, but Polnareff is only human and he wants to impress. The cue ball cracks against the balls, scattering them, and Polnareff grins.]

All right. Let's start.
