6 8 drill

I saw a fb reference to the 6 8 drill being tough. I've never heard of this drill. Can anyone provide any details as to what this is?

I've never heard of it. Who referred to it?

There are lots of tough drills. The L separates the casual from the serious. Here it is with 11 balls. Work your way up to 15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QEi_PztJhM

You practice from 6 am to 8 pm every day...one of the best drills ever to improve your game!

It called the 8 6 drill

8 ball spots on the headstring spot. 1 thru 6 balls spotted across the footstring line. You must pocket the 8 ball then the 1, then the 8 then the 2 and so forth. Great positional drill. Variation on this drill is the 1 thru 6 can be spotted in any order across the footstring line, making position a little more tricky, and the 8 can only be made in the headstring corner pockets. Have fun with this... Here is a vid.

Thanks for the explanation and the video. Nice drill, I'll have to give it a try.

I suppose that what you say about the 8 is a rule here, so my guess is FastMikie overran the cueball on his last shape on the black. Also I noted at once that the next step of this drill should be altering 4, 5, 6 balls positions in reverse order (numerical not from spot towards the cushion but vice versa). This way position on the 4 and 5 is more challenging and requires precision (at least in terms of staying on the right side)

I think drills are useful. However, it is bit disconcerting that almost all of the pros interviewed on the TAR podcasts have disdain for drills and claim they don't do them.
