I've been struggling with Speed Control so I sat down and diagrammed a lot of the shots where I messed up due to having poor speed control so I could practice them. The attached diagram is one of the shots. Please don't try and tell me I should have played the shot differently because with the lay of the land this was the only option. I just didn't put the other seven balls in the diagram. Lets focus on this shot, period.
Anyway, I practiced it for about 15 minutes tonight. I bet I shot it about 30-40 times, trying to get where the White CB is, straight in on the 3-Ball. And I hardly got the perfect straight in position on any shots, maybe once. Most of the time I was either well short, short, long, or well long. I was using about a tip of left english on this shot.
So, instructors, am I wasting my time in practicing this shot? Or do I just need to practice it about another 1,000 times? Or is this the type of Speed Control shot that even Efren or Allison would struggle with?
