I have two ways I really like:
1st is using published drills. The reason for this, is it brings you out of your comfort zone, and may introduce new ways to play shots to you. I found for me personally, I would tend to play shots the same way, the way I knew. When I started following structured drills, the drills want you to play the shots the author's way, and often a way I was not used to playing. This immediately expanded my shot arsenal. My drill book of choice is Joe Tucker's Guaranteed Improvement. It's $11. I like books a lot better than video drills. You can keep score in the books, make notes, etc.
2nd: Break a 9 ball rack. Mark each ball with doughnuts. Take ball in hand and run out. When you miss, set up the whole rack again. Do this over and over and over with the same rack. Try different position routes. Your brain will quickly figure out which position routes are the best. This does take a lot of effort and time. I did it for maybe 15 different rack in the past couple of years. I feel it was worth the effort for me.
Most important of all IMO, whatever way you want to practice position, get on the table and do it. Often times we will see a shot on a video, or in a book, or on these thread. Say to ourselves, "yeah, that's the way to play it", but then not actually get on the table and try it a few times. I'm guilty of this myself! I think the physical act of shooting the shot is even more important than the mental act of "yeah, that's the way to play it"
