I think this is the way they're talking about, but I was lazy and drew the ball back to touch the short rail so I didn't have to go around the table to get the cue ball (long night at work). I actually like this drill for what I'm working on at the moment. I can put all my focus on training my feet to naturally just go where I want them subconsciously. Then when that is completed, then to get my back swing timing down. At the moment I look like a window licker not knowing what to do with my feet, but my chin is on the cue every shot. https://youtu.be/ng7b_UByDF4
Your percent for this drill?

Very nice! Sir, you shoot quite well. Kept me in suspense until the last ball
When using follow with this drill I found it easier to alternate ends of the table instead of getting the cue ball and walking back around.

Thank you. I felt very uncomfortable getting my feet in position. I'll be glad to get a more fluid rythm where everything just falls into place without trying.
I realized after the first take that I had to keep the cueball within a ball's width so I decided to re-shoot it over lunch. Unfortunately my cats had other ideas.

I'll do it again after work and feeding time.

You get a Greenie for actually posting a video.
Thank you appreciate it.
Looks like the cats won and got their treats or food. You have a nice stroke.
Thanks for posting.
Lazy like a fox. That's a harder shot to hit well - aim/stroke variances too small to cause a miss show up clearly in the CB's path.
You hit them well.

I would never go against what Dr. Dave says about the game, but I know from showing this drill to probably 100 people, that even some of the scuffs can make 13 or 14 when they use a little draw but the minute I added that they had to stun the cueball so that it did not travel more than 1/4 of an inch , all the c players make percentage went in the toilet.
Even a lot of the B players couldn't make more than 10 or 11.
I also did not have them on a table, where you can hit a diamond up the rail, and still have the ball go in though.
The only drill I do these days is run 9ball or 10 ball racks. Then work on a specific shot for a while. No drills for me thank you.
Dave’s comparison is about CB control, not shotmaking. Stop shots are more sensitive to throw, which can make them harder to pocket.

I have been doing this drill for 2 days now and my stroke is better than ever.
I think I figured out what a greenie is, but still don't know how to give them. I think the red ones are for the members that piss people off from guys saying they gave a person a red. Thankfully I haven't pissed anyone off yet. lol
Thank you to everyone in the past that gave me a greenie, I just now seen them. Not sure if it's a big deal, but will give you all greenies back when I find out how to give them.
ken
its easy to give a greenie....

Thank you, I think I just gave you a greenie, but it kept disappearing when trying to leave comment. So I just hit add reputation and think it went through.
I don’t know how to check the greenie if went thru but thanks for trying...:thumbup:
You can see the greenies when you click on the control panel tab. I guess you can't give a banned member a greenie, just a red.
I thought this was a good thread to, but it looks like it died off. This isn't a bad drill at all. I'll work on it more after the holidays are over. Have a Merry Christmas.
I'm going to post a completed video, I've just been swamped. Hopefully some other posters here can show us their skills between now and then.
Copy that. My wife and I are big animal lovers and got a kick out of your last videos. My one little dog which is a jug likes to chase the balls down the ball return and grabs the ball out of the box and brings it back to me. I have to keep him out of my pool room to keep him from slobbering all over balls. Luckily he can't reach the table. lol
