Grab your cue, some refreshments, stand at the table and get crackin....
 
IMO, you need to know where your game is at before you can determine what kind of and how much practice you need. Like BeeMan said, "Grab your cue, some refreshments, stand at the table and get crackin..."

Erik, I started playing pool and, like you, could barely see over the table the first time I picked up a cue stick.

One thing I always try to teach my students is to learn how to address the table. It is important that you stand properly with good balance. The "feels" and the stances are probably the most two important things to learn. Then you can learn the different englishes on the cue ball, but this should come later.

I would advise you to take a couple of lessons to make sure you are heading in the right direction. After that, nature will take its course.
 
a couple lessons then natures course

Truly sage advice Mr. Earthquake.Well phrased.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome :)
my stance from what ive been told is fairly solid. my position play however is non existant. And i miss way too many shots than what i should. I probibly need to do some drills to improve on this aspects of my game?

I mean i can go and run 5 or 6 balls playing 8 ball or i can miss easy shots dead on.
And my 9 ball game is well crap besides my break which is fairly good i think.
