Cushion Bounces
Be prepared for the cushion bounces, which are far more powerful than they should be.

Be Prepared
Soft, controlled shots are very difficult to master, because the game makes it hard to gauge how far back you should pull your mouse and how hard you should push forward; there is a very fine line between a good soft touch and barely moving the cue ball. There is no fix for this because the game's programming is so weird, so you best be prepared.

Erratic Ball
The game offers the option of going with "no call" rules. Though this may bother pool aficionados, no call is the best way to go if you really want to win--when up against the game's erratic ball movement, your best chance is to hope for as many flukes as possible.
