Do you think that playing 14.1 / Straight Pool can help a players game out at all? At least with Consistency?

Playing and training at straight pool will help a lot with maintaining your intensity and concentration level. It's difficult to stay concentrated when you are simply shooting easy shots and that's why you miss those shots that are so easy you should make them with your eyes closed. You somply let your mind wander and don't aim. I really like drills for consistency but you can rack and open break and then run as many as you can including playing for a break shot on more racks and keep yourself honest call your shots. Do this 5 times and keep a record and you can gauge your improvement. After 5 then go on to your drills.

You will be amazed at the improvement in many areas. If you miss a ball, pick it up and put it in the pocket then continue. If you really want to learn high runs...throw 4balls out on the foot end of the table and try to set up a break shot. Willie Mosconi said that was when he made his major break through in 14.1.

For example, if the player has not played in a long time, and wants to get back into playing, and hopefully get their old A game back?

I always hated doing drills. Never had a Pre Shot routine, that I know of. Other then what came natural, after playing for hours, every single day, for many years.

Do you think that just practicing 14.1 would be helpful, or would drills be better? Doing any kind of drills were always so boring to me though, but I understand that is probably why I never improved past a certain level.

Thinking back, I feel that I was never anything but just a Banger. Always really loved the game though. I guess not nearly enough though.

I have not really played any in around a year, and really wanting to get back into playing again. I really miss the game.

I know that I am going to be really rusty though.

Thanks for any thoughts.
