Hi instructors and all.. Can you guys recommend me some drills that I can do on my own?
I believe that the biggest weakness of my game is Shot making/accuracy, i have decent cue ball control, but its the potting thats letting me down..
Any drills recommendations will be deeply appreciated! Thanks!:D

Drills alone are a slow way to improve and don't guarantee good outcomes. If you have flaws in your mechanics, you will be practicing those flaws. If your errors are related to spin, you will need to understand spin and the errors it creates.

A better approach is to have an evaluation of your mechanics and routines by an instructor and make sure they are top notch. The instructor can also teach you how to control spin, the problems that come along with it, and how to adjust.

With solid mechanics, routines, and an understanding of spin, drills will then be much more effective.
 
Spread sheet

I'll post my Drill spread sheet to this forum later today. It has Photos of each drill and a place for you to record progress.

Sure. There are lots of drills in the columns available here:

In particular, learn how "progressive practice" works and start to make your own drills for the shots you have trouble with. Here is some info about that along with some mechanics/fundamentals drills:

Im not a instructer but one simple drill helps alot if I get PT on the tables before I play ,, put a ball on each spot ,then take the cue ball line it up to cut the ball in the corner, going down to the foot rail and back towards the other ball then cut that ball in going down to that foot rail and back towards the other spot ,, , respot the balls and do it again, so u will be shooting one ball left and one right ,, this helps get the table speed dialed in ,, using it in a practice session u can track how many balls u make and it does not matter how u get shape up back , to the side rail and back across , stun draw , however u want but when u miss or out of line , start over,, I can almost guarantee results from this drill:thumbup:
