30 min practice spurts.. better then hit a million balls?

Once you "get in stroke," you can stay in stroke by hitting a few balls or a rack or two. Thus you see pro players take one practice rack before the match starts. No tournaments, okay, hit balls for 30-45 minutes just to stay in stroke and be ready. Worked pretty good for me.

Here's a short cut no one ever told you about before (except maybe me). I call it the Hard Hit drill. Set up long straight in shots from all different angles. Hit the ball pretty much as hard as you can, over and over. Don't worry if you're making the shot or not. After awhile you will start making some. Do this for 30 minutes (using both corner pockets) and then back off to regular speed. Voila, they're all going in! Try it, you'll like it.

I have done the "hard hit" many times...knock the hell out of them.

FWIW, that is what I teach beginners who do not have a stroke and are poking and afraid to hit the cue ball.

What, in your opinion, is the minimum Fargo you should have before entering a WNT Open?

At least you had some to destroy

But seriously, people that constantly go to AI to post a forum comment might as well keep it to themselves. You provide nothing of value at all to conversations. Any of us could do that anytime. That’s not in the spirit of conversation. IMO.

Can you run 3 or four balls? Ck it out.

Island Drive
Straightline....
The wing balls don't go in the corners they bank above the corner pockets and into the kitchen.... the 9 is racked on the spot same as pros, sometimes players never make a ball on the break but not always.
Sometimes the 9 will bank into the upper corner, If you break and are hooked, you can roll out same as the pros do.
If you lose your first two matches, tables open up for play, or you can spend your Day time doing something else.
By six o'clock almost every table that was being used is open for business for anyone.
Everything players dislike about late night play, is not in this business model, it's designed for the room owners as well as the players and no hotels needed. Each rack including racking avg three minutes max sometimes a rack takes less than a minute.

To answer the original question, no, thirty minute sports are not better than long sessions.

There are a couple of things to remember when learning a skill.

First, there really isn't an incorrect practice method. Your brain strives for results, your body will adjust.

Second, there is an incorrect mental state for practice. You should be concentrating, for the most part.

Third repetition is key for fine tuning. You don't get that in 30min.

Fourth, when practicing, end the session with perfect form and concentration.

Finally, practice right before going to sleep. This is a side effect of fatigue. It's been all but proven that you will subconsciously work through things while asleep, leaning a skill before rest is tantamount to fast improvement.

Most bangers need to be tranqued under medical supervision. Once they get the epiphany that pool is a delicate process, they'll be fine.
