Do you seriously want to lose less and win more often?
If so, then you need to understand the importance of practice. Time must be spent (daily or weekly) to learn how to force the balls to obey your intentions. Even 15-20 minutes a week of focused learning will improve your playing skills.
This book is your shortcut opportunity to advance your skills and win more games. These exercises and drills are designed to improve all of your skills – physical and mental. Your practice sessions will be much more interesting and challenging.
There are hundreds of exercises and drills. Every playing skill is included -- cue ball control (reverse spin, top spin), pocketing skills (straight and many different angles), and more – lots more.
+++++++++
These drills and exercises are based on the concept of progressive advancement. Start with an easy setup. When you comfortable, increase the difficulty factor.
Use these problems in two ways. At home, review an exercise. Consider how you must play the shot. Then, imagine the ball positions on the table in your head. Carefully and thoughtfully play the shot.
Consider variations on the problem. Can you do this at different speeds? What are the consequences? Make notes as you think about different ideas - assumptions, possibilities, and variations.
Then, at the practice table, select the problem you want to fix. Put down the paper reinforcement rings. Set up the ball configuration. Practice the configuration until it is easy, then try the exercise with left and right side spin on the ball – and at different speeds. Observe the results, and make adjustments.
