Hello,
I would like some idea's on setting up a practice regime that will help improve my game. I'm a solid player B+ range and would like to set up a practice schedule that would be beneficial in improving my game. I've never really set up structured practice sessions and would like to get some input. Generally, I just play in tournaments and leagues and rarely practice.
How long should one practice for a session? I know that if I practice too long then I lose focus. I was thinking of making my practice sessions around 90 minutes and practice 2 times a week.
The majority of the tournaments that I play are on the bar tables. I may play in 3 - 4 big table tournaments a year. So, would it be better to practice on a bar table or big table? When I do play on a big table, it seems to take me awhile to adjust. I sometimes get complacent on my shotmaking on a bar table but when I do play on a big table then those bad habits such as not focusing really stand out. Would be practicing on both size tables be beneficial?
What should the content of my practice session? I was thinking of playing the 10-ball ghost a race to 5 for part of the sessions. Maybe break the 90 minutes up into 30 minutes sessions with playing the ghost or playing call shot for a session. Work on drills that address certain situations such as the break, kicking, etc. and then do something else the other 30.
Thanks for any input.
Darryl
