MAKE PRACTICE SESSIONS COUNT-PART ONE
February 1, 2010 ~ by Tom PringleThe natural tendency in practicing pool is to break the balls and start playing a game. There is a much more productive way to practice. You must liken it to going to the driving range. At the range you can practice every area of your golf game, in pool it is no different. You should never ignore any aspect of your pool game.The break should be practiced religiously. Find a way to make your break work, it will vary from table to table, but you must get it to work. The idea is to make a ball and get a shot. Practice the break over and over until you get proficient at it, it's the most important shot on the table. full article >> |
