    the line up drill kicks my butt every day

    you know the drill. 16 balls, lined up on the middle diamond, short rail to short rail. even the easy drill where you can hit any ball is hard for me. sometimes I get the finish, sometimes I have to cheat a little:D but the hard one, where you have to go in order, seems so easy, but it kicks my...

    8 ball pattern play problems

    I really like to do 8 ball pattern play. 7 solids and the 8 ball, sometimes ball in hand, and try to run out. I do well in the beginning, but then as the balls dwindle, I make a small mistake or miss a shot to blow it. should I be using 7 balls, or 4 balls to to this drill? with 4 balls I can...

    can't get my chin down to the cue when shooting?
