One of the skills you should when trying to pocket a ball is being able to have a hunch where to hit it and properly aim that spot. This is one of the things I did when working on my pocketing skills. Ok to do is… if your gonna hit on a blue ball. Now before hitting it with a cue ball, determine where you’d need to hit the blue ball to put it in the pocket then place a red ball beside the blue ball putting in the exact spot where you are going to be hitting it. now go back to the cue ball, the red ball should give you an idea where u’d need to aim. Once you’re done, remove the red ball then go for the shot. Practice this from different angles/position.

When I first started out playing pool, and this was even before I started playing snooker, I was very bad at aiming so one thing I would do this try shoot cue ball , aiming it towards every pocket of the table, from one location. You might wanna try shooting from different locations of the table. This can help improve your aiming skills plus you can tweak your stance, hand position, grip, etc. while practicing this.
