CJ won probably the biggest tournament of the 1990's, when he won the ESPN World Championship held in Santa Rosa, CA in the 1990's. I actually did some commentary alongside Lon McEachern of World Series of Poker fame there. CJ won something like 75 or 80 thou at that event.

Jim Rempe's brainwash position/pattern drill

The drill was originally promoted by Jim Rempe as a 14.1 practice. For 8 ball, it's about the same.

For rotation, it gets very hard very quickly. If you don't have excellent draw, both slow and fast, it's impossible. You will learn stun shots.

If the balls are sitting well at nine ball, I sometimes try to minimize the number of cushion contacts. I find it helps me focus because I'm forced to play exact position. You could have some kind of penalty for rail contact, like 10% of the game.
