I have probably played less than 10 times in two years. I want to start playing again. I have at around 3 hours a day to dedicate to pool. I tried to start again about a week ago and had too much movement in my stance and stroking arm. This frustrated me and now I want to try a dedicated routine. Maybe practicing the 9 ball ghost for 1 hour, 10 ball ghost for 1 hour and then shot making. I was never a super strong player but I could beat the 10 ball ghost pretty easy when I practiced alot. I have some people barking at me and I want to make a comeback just to shut them up. I have about 3 months before I see them again. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Best Practice Routine
- Thread starter pooldawg1
- Start date
Yes, take a two-hour session with a BCA instructor.
good advice
You'll be ready for round 2 after about a month of training
your proper address and delivery.
Unless you have a near perfect stroke, speed, eye patterns,
and regularly dominate the 9 or 10 ball ghost,
then playing the ghost should have you back up to A speed in
a couple weeks.
Without knowing what you know, it's hard for one to advise
on what you should be training.

I would suggest also taking lessons from a BCA instructor, it was the best thing I did for my game. I started getting a little lazy with practicing until I started reading a book called The Pleasures of Small Motions. It's a great read and is helping me stay on the practice table. I don't play much on my home table....playing is for league and the weekend tournaments. If you are interested in some basic practice routines for tip position, aiming and speed control, PM me and I can email you forms that I made up in .xls (excel) fromat.
