Hours of practice. And your game still feels like it’s going nowhere.

So you go down the rabbit hole. YouTube tutorials. Random tips. Fixing things with no direction. Sound familiar?

I want to talk about something that rarely gets mentioned, but it might be the most important skill you can develop as a pool player.

The ability to self assess.

When you miss a shot, do you actually know why?

Do you know which side of the pocket you’re hitting? Too thick or too thin? Do you know the tendencies of your misses, or does every miss feel like a surprise?

Have you ever filmed yourself and watched it back? Because what your brain tells you your technique looks like and what it actually looks like are often two completely different things.

After a tough match, have you ever taken a specific shot back to the practice table to figure out why you failed to play it? Or do you just move on and hope it doesn’t happen again?

And in the moment, are you self aware enough to feel whether you are balanced before you pull the trigger?

You cannot improve on what you don’t notice.

I have seen more players stuck at the same level - for months, sometimes years - who cannot tell me what their weaknesses are or what they need to work on. More than enough to know this needs to be talked about.

This isn’t a technical fix. This is something deeper. The ability to guide yourself on your own journey.

Next time you get on the table, don’t just play. Watch yourself. Notice the patterns. Bring the problems back to practice. Work on them with full awareness.

That’s how you actually get better.

🇵🇭Perry Mariano is a prominent Filipino billiards patron, longtime supporter of the sport, and figure in Philippine pool/billiards circles. He is often called the “Godfather of Philippine Pool” due to his decades-long involvement.

He has supported athletes and tournaments for over 40 years, helping jumpstart the careers of Filipino pool icons like Dennis Orcollo and Carlo Biado. He is the CEO/founder of Lucky Break, a venue known for maintaining traditional, respectful billiards play.

Mariano is a traditionalist who emphasizes billiards as a “gentleman’s game” — quiet, focused, and respectful. He has publicly criticized “sharking” (spectators heckling or distracting players to cause misses), arguing it undermines the sport’s heritage, especially in contrast to the more entertainment-oriented Sharks Billiards Association (SBA) run by his son, Hadley Mariano.

He is described as a pioneering patron who has selflessly supported even top players.

He frequently appears in Philippine sports media (Philstar, Manila Times, etc.) commenting on the state of local billiards, player welfare, and the balance between tradition and commercialization.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Perry Mariano. All billiard enthusiasts and players mourn his passing. Justice for his death.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of a true Philippine Billiard icon, Perry Mariano. The entire billiards community is mourning who wasn't just a supporter of the sport—he was its heartbeat.
Boss ​Perry spent his life elevating Philippine billiards, mentoring talent, and championing the game. While the clack of the balls might sound a little different now, his influence is woven into the fabric of every table and every rack we break.
​Rest easy boss P .The game goes on in your honor.
​The legend of the felt may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. ​Rest in peace, Boss Perry. 🕊️🎱
