An alternative, which is what I suggest in the Billiards Digest articles, is to return them to the table wherever you please. That should make things both harder (more balls) and easier (helpers in good places) and is intended to make you think about problems on the table and how to solve them.... I’m spotting everything that goes down. (foot, head, center for 1, 2, 3 balls down etc) ...
Are you able to post a video online? It would be interesting to see what is causing you the most difficulty. Maybe you could film 3-5 attempts of both Level 6 and Level 7? If you do, we might be able to offer helpful advice.
If you want help with CB control, see the videos and info here:
CB Control Tutorial
And if you want help with speed control, see the video and info here:
speed control advice
That might help.

Thanks for the comments. Let us know if you have any more feedback after you get to try out RDS.Excellent work as ever
I like how what seemed to be an idea
While thinking aloud by one person
Turned into a complete-with video-
Exam by another person
Lots of good ideas, someday maybe
Five months later- no pool
Thanks.Nice video describing the system and I liked the sprinkles of shot commentary
i didn't need reminding. That shot is still haunting me. Actually, the memory of it is reminding me to stay relaxed on every draw shot I hit now.(and a bonus miscue!)
Those are for various teaching purposes when I work with students on CB control and vision center alignment.(Unrelated question.... what are the donuts on the rail for? The one on top of the pocket facing caught my eye)
You're welcome. Thanks for the comments, and have fun with RDS.I’m a little late in seeing this thread, but I like this idea a lot! I just read some of the thread and watched the video you made, Dave. Looks to be right up my alley. I get bored with static shots, but feel like I’m not really focusing like I should when I just hit balls. This is a good in between, and I’ll definitely add it to my practice.
Thanks for the thread, Bob! And thanks for the vid, Dave!
