just thought I'd share this. I find it is a pretty good practiice especially for people beginning to play 14.1 , or who are struggling with concentration and are finding themselves missing easy balls too often than they should.
spread 15 balls on the table try not to leave any balls touching each other in a tough spot. try to run all of them in any order, then spread 15 balls again and continue the run. try to see how many you can make in a row, week by week you should improve considerably, and learn to choose the right shots.
it also gives extra motivation to make a lot of balls in a row because the table is wide open each time.
I found this to be a very rewarding exercise, in fact i would never imagine to run so many balls and managed to run over 200. this gives also confidence and then once one is able to achieve a high result then they can incorporate 14.1 into their practice.
if one can run an open table high run then the only thing keeping them from doing so in 14.1 is the knowledge to choose the right spots, because they would have acquired the experience and knowledge of having a high run and learn not to miss on easy shots and stay down and keep a routine no matter how easy the shot is.
of course besides all this one should work on their fundamentals try not to move their body, make sure cue is level , stroke it right. i've still got my issues and always improvement to do.
im not here to boast myself but i'm pretty excited by this because i believe in this practice and thought I should share it for other people who are feeling maybe they hit a wall and can't get past a certain result.
here's what can be achieved. i only could get to like 50 or 60 only a month ago. then got my first 100+, then suddenly this 200+ happened;

also I'd like to hear from the more experienced people out there what they think of this exercise.
