All of this stuff is just my opinions and nothing more...each person approaches training in their own way I suppose.
My rehearsal routines are quite grueling and boring.
It's a mental war to keep concentrated. Especially since I will devote 200 shots a day to nothing but cueball frozen to the rail with object balls "way off in the distance". Not fun.
But that's what a training table is for, in my opinion. To
WORK...and not have fun. Nobody gets to know I even have a table. No grandchildren, no neighbors, no relatives, or in-laws. "They" don't need to know anything...nothing. Like old Mister T said in one of those old "Rocky" movies...."I train alone, I stay alone, nobody knows where I go".
Kinda' like in a real gym where men lift the weights, sweat, grunt, fart, snarl, beat the heavy bag, and bust their ass. The fun comes later when the honeys tell you what great legs you have.
The fun in pool comes when the training pays off and you get the money from combat after crushing one of those "know-it-alls". (in a most politically correct way, of course, where he'll come back for more)
I rely on Bert Kinister's 60 Minute Workout for 9 Ball and rehearse it constantly.
I rely also on a routine old Ray Martin taught once at a clinic. Bust the 15 ball rack wide open...take the cueball in hand and pocket all the balls in no particular order. (not as easy as it sounds). Then do it again..then again...then again, etc. etc.
Your plan of shooting the 15 ball rack in rotation is being added to the sweat. (your plan sounds better than what I hear from most 'instructors'..............and the price is right too).:wink:
Keep on truckin'
