Well, I have shot in a few hundred balls using this drill and all I can say is I'm glad I stayed with it. Because it is hard to get use to.
What I do (to make the drill harder) is line up all 15 balls across the table at the number 3 diamond down by the foot of the table. I move the cue ball across the table at the 6 diamond at the head of ther table, lining up each ball straight in and then pocketing 7 balls in one corner and 7 balls in the other corner (my grand daughter lost the 5 ball, so I practice with 14 balls :smile
Now to make this even more challenging I shoot 56 balls using center ball and try to have the QB rotate 1/2 turn to replace the OB. I use this to help me with feel.
Next I'll shoot another 56 balls, only this time I use high spin. The object here is to have the QB follow the OB into the pocket.
This drill has help in a few areas
1. It really makes you get connected with the OB
2. Shot alignment issues can be corrected
3. You will notice that when playing a game that you are spending more time getting connected with the OB
4. Helps to get your fingers and wrist calibrated.
5. Better focus on the QB when coming down into the shot line.
CJ's DVD#2 covers most of what has been posted in his Wrist thread.
Have fun
