Here's how to play shuffleboard
Several methods are available for learning to play on a shuffleboard table , but all players should strive for the three main objectives. When you play shuffleboard, follow these steps:


1. THE WELL PLACED PUCK
One of the most important skills to develop is this one! Learn how to place your puck as far down the board as possible, without having the puck fall off the far end. Frequent practice is best for developing this skill.

2. ATTACK OPPONENT'S PUCKS
Try to bump and knock off the highest scoring pucks of your opponent as you learn how to play shuffleboard. Regular practice is also essential to mastering this skill.

3. BLOCKING OR PROTECTING YOUR OWN PUCKS
Screening or blocking a puck is a similar tactic in football and basketball. Your goal is to place as many pucks as you can in front of the puck that you anticipate scoring from, so that your opponent will be unable to score. Don't let a blocking puck get too close to your scoring pucks; if you do, your opponent will be able to push them all off the board.

LEARN HOW TO PLAY SHUFFLEBOARD USING BOTH HANDS
Whether playing shuffleboard game with one hand or both, equal ability is needed. If you practice enough, you will be able to play shuffleboard equally well with either hand. Attempt to shoot as many shots as possible with each hand. You will greatly improve your chances of winning if you learn how to do this.


HOW TO SHOOT THE PUCKS (OR WEIGHTS) ON A SHUFFLEBOARD
You may find it easiest to shoot pucks from the center of the board when you first learn how to play shuffleboard. The majority of players will learn that shooting from the edge or side of the board is more accurate. In this way, you can grip the puck using your thumb, index, and middle fingers, while sliding along the edge of the shuffleboard surface with your third and fourth fingers. Therefore, the board's edge will act as a guide, helping to maintain balance and control. With this method, you will be able to place your pucks on the shuffleboard table much more accurately.

HOW TO PLAY SHUFFLEBOARD USING "ENGLISH" OR (TWIST) IN SHUFFLEBOARD PLAY
A puck delivered on a shuffleboard table with English (also known as twist or sidespin) is extremely accurate. Its use in billiards gives you more control over when a puck will land and how it will react after it hits another puck. Simply twist your thumb and forefinger toward the body as you release the puck to put English on a shot. Learning and developing Check out will take a lot of practice. It, however, greatly enhances a puck's chances of staying on the board when it makes contact with an opponent's puck. It acts as a brake to hold it in place. Players of the highest level use English to hide pucks delivered by opposing players behind pucks already on the board, thus achieving the benefit of having just-delivered pucks blocked easily with no further effort.
