Where can I find out more information about these mother drills? These sound like exactly what I need.
I think you need to schedule a lesson with an SPF instructor to properly learn what and how to use these drills. A lesson with a good SPF instructor is well worth the money if you want to learn real solid fundamentals, especially before you ingrain bad habits that are then harder to break.
i didn't realize it was proprietary information. I would love to get a lesson, but instructors around me are over 4 hours away. Thats not bad for a single lesson, but I have a feeling on-going occasional lessons are what I need.
I have just been trying to come up with my own game plan for improvement. I know I need to work on my stroke first which is why this thread caught my attention.

I think it is best to spend at least a couple of hours with an instructor if you can. Maybe you can work it into some other trip.i didn't realize it was proprietary information.

How long (days, weeks, months) before you see results? Is there like a set amount of reps that you must do a technique so it becomes a muscle memory?

In the mean time, there are some very basic drills in the March column in this set of Billiards Digest articles: http://www.sfbilliards.com/articles/2010.pdf
And in case you have a little extra money, you might consider the Video Encyclopedia of Pool Practice. The outline of the items covered in each volume are here: https://drdavebilliards.com/documents/vepp/vepp_outline.pdf and there are plenty of fundamentals drills.
