What are some good drills to improve one's ability to play Straight Pool? I'm a terrible Straight Pool player. My high run is only 30 balls.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
14.1 Drills
- Thread starter Sandbag'nIt
- Start date
One highly recommended drill is to spread the balls across the table and at least 6 inches or so from a rail. Take cue ball in hand to start and run off all 15 without bumping into another ball, or allowing the cue ball to touch a rail. - teaches finer cue ball control and pattern play.
Do a Search on Blackjack's postings in the 14.1 forum. Some time ago, Blackjack posted a few threads with some very good drills to work on.
How old?

If anyone knows it would be you.

This is from a thread in the main forum.
I searched Accustats but didn't find a video of this match. Do you have it?

Last years worlds was recorded and streamed by Inside Pool.
here's a link to the video, but for some reason it is now private.
maybe you can send them a message to see if they can unlock it for you.

Dave: Like Steve said, not accustats but Inside Pool and not dvds but youtube downloads.
Fortunately, I downloaded the youtube matches and will make you a dvd of it and send it to you. You might be surprised by one of the commentators.
