If a missing target was the only thing that kept you from trying this training method so far, I’d like to take that excuse away.

Here are the templates that let you create your own targets in under 15 minutes:
- you can download the full target (for position in the middle of the table) here.
- and a half target (for position on the rail) here.

The process should be self-explanatory, but here’s a short video just in case:

For keeping score (you always have to pocket the object ball in the intended pocket to score):

• 5 points: the cue ball comes to rest completely inside the target.
• 3 points: the cue ball comes to rest on the paper or outside the target, but overlaps the paper (even slightly, ~1/16").
• 2 points: place a reference ball just outside the target, overlapping the paper by almost half a ball. If there is not enough space to fit a third ball between the cue ball and the reference ball, you score 2 points.
• 0 points: if the cue ball is farther away from the target than this, you score zero points.

I hope these images help illustrate it more clearly.

And here’s a video of me challenging the pros at Target Pool using positions from Kim Davenport’s Target Pool, as they were played at the 1994 Target Pool Tournament.

I’ve coached based solely on videos or live on Zoom. I’m happy to help, and the first hour is free so we can see how well we mesh.
