is this to test for accidental English?
No. Those particular MDs are to build and test your stroke. The "accidental english" MD does not even involve putting a ball in a pocket.

is this to test for accidental English?
and that is because everyone who knows them also know that they are completely worthless.. without the instruction that goes along with them
here I'll give you 2 of them
shoot a stripe ball into a pocket without using a cueball..
see what I mean?
have a nice day:thumbup:
Thanks Dave. This is what the OP asked for. He wants to know what they are. Didn't ask anything about how useful or of what benefit. All he wanted to know is what they are.
For once I am in the know and just like someone already posted it can't be explained. You actually do need the instruction for them to be effective.
Let me understand this correctly. They are called 'Mother' drills because it implies going back to the basics and the root of things. The only way I would see its use, is for someone who has already a flawed stroke/cue delivery and bad habits.
Why would someone with no apparent 'flaws' need to follow these drills since they would rather work on other aspects of the game because they have already 'mastered' (relative term) the physicality of a smooth stroke and to stay down on each shot?
Then again, I have no idea what they are so I am not judging them by any means. I just find that the name sounds 'will help those who can't do like it should be done' to me and would leave others(people with good technique) on their appetite.
Please enlighten me, I just want to know more.
WHen I first had my lesson, I started doing the drills for about an hour a night. I know Scott says they should only take 20-30 minutes, but that did not work at first. There was a remarkable change in the repeatable accuracy of my stroke that I noticed within about 2-3 wks. I felt much more confident shooting balls, and did not realize the inaccuracy I had before, even when making balls, until that time.

So tell us. Can simply shooting a ball into a pocket help your game?
Has it helped your game?

So what are all the mother drills?
