I OFTEN HEAR PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO PRACTICE AND
THEN THEY GO WITH THEIR FRIENDS TO THE LOCAL PUB AND PLAY
“KING OF THE HILL” (CHALLENGE THE WINNER OF THE TABLE).
THIS IS NOT PRACTICE! THIS TYPE OF PLAY MAY BE GOOD FOR WARMING
UP BUT IT ONLY RE-ENFORCES BAD HABITS.
DO YOU THINK THAT THE PATRIOTS PUT ON THEIR UNIFORMS AND PLAY
A GAME BETWEEN THEMSELVES OR LEAVE THEIR DEFENSE IN THE LOCKER
ROOM AND PLAY OFFENSE ONLY? NO, THEY PRACTICE DRILLS, DRILLS, AND
MORE DRILLS .THEY WILL RUN THE SAME PLAY OVER AND OVER SO THAT
WHEN THEY NEED IT IN A GAME THEY WILL GET IT RIGHT.
THE SAME IS TRUE IN POOL. YOU MUST PRACTICE SPECIFIC DRILLS IN
ORDER TO PREPARE YOUR BODY AND MIND. PRACTICE DRILLS WILL FORCE
YOU TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LIMITATIONS AND SHOW THE AREAS NEEDED
FOR IMPROVEMENT.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF TIME TESTED DRILLS INCLUDING “THE WAGON
WHEEL SYSTEM” BY TED BROWN. THIS SYSTEM WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO
POSITION THE CUE BALL USING ONLY THE VERTICAL AXIS OF THE CUE
BALL. (NO ENGLISH). THERE ARE DRILLS FOR FOLLOW, DRAW BANKS, ETC.
GOOD PRACTICE DRILLS WILL HELP GET YOU OUT OF THE “POKE IT AND
HOPE” MODE AND INTO THE “STROKE IT” ZONE.
IN POOL “PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT”
