Whenever you play an 8-ball pool game, you want to keep things simple. It serves to your advantage because the 8-ball game is not all about pocketing the highest number of balls every time. It also has got to do with outplaying your opponent too. You can do this by making the cue ball movement to be minimal in nature.
Here are some guidelines you should follow to minimize your cue ball movement.

Sometimes simply is not easy to do. It can be difficult. But you can increase your chances when you limit the distance between the cue and target ball. The general rule of thumb is, the more the cue ball moves, the more room for errors.
Keep your balls under control
There is no pun intended here if you are a male. Again, make all shots straight and short. For example, it is much easier to pocket balls in one side of the table rather than going back and forth between the far ends of the table. This is where stop shots are very useful. You can limit the cue ball movement in a given area.
Angle is better than distance
In some cases, this is true. You don't have to be rigid at all times, thinking that the shortest distance every single time is the best. Remember, the 8-ball game is all about positioning. Therefore, you are better off setting the cue ball at an angle to position your ball rather than stressing on the straight and shorter path.
Keep it balanced
The point is to plan your next ball ahead. It is never a good idea to get fixated on one idea, for example, the short distance shot. Like Bruce Lee says it, be like the water. Adapt to changes when the need for it arrives. Therefore, by knowing these several guidelines, you can make a good call to keep things simple.
