Congratulations!!! On winning,
Some advice practice breaking and potting 15 balls in a row do it for say 3 hours a night after school.
Cue control practice hitting through the white ball as tho you want your cue tip to hit the ball your wanting to hit with the white ball just below centre of the ball to suck the white towards you bottom right to go to the right and left hand side of white to go to the left.
Same hitting the white ball to get spin on white ball to go forward if you want to get onto a ball down the table hit through the white ball and the white ball will go down he table onto the ball you want to be on.

  1. Practice potting consistently first.
  2. Practice white ball spin control
    Sucking white bull back to you/ Away from you.
    Practice 5 nights a week, 3 hours each night.
    I play in Victoria, I only play for a league I don’t represent Australia.
    But it’s great to see kids get into the sport and see them progress I hope this advice sees you advance
