How many hours/week do you practice?

I've asked this question here awhile back, but wanted to ask it again to refresh my memory & compare to other players. I'm in a BCA league, was ranked #3 earlier this season, but have slipped down to #34. My record is padded against easier teams, but find I am doing poorly against the better teams. I'm not necessarily in a slump, but am struggling lately.

Even though we play the last-place team this week, our schedule gets tougher afterwards, & I've decided to increase my hours of practice NOW. In fact I'm thinking about playing every day for the next few weeks if needed. I probably practice 3-4 hours a week, but would like to at least double that. Am also going to do more drills, & focus on position play/cue ball control......rather than just playing 8-ball all the time.

How much do the rest of you practice??? And how do you practice???

Less than 30 min. a week I'm afraid. I haven't seen much progress in the last few months... it's just more fun to play than to practice!

Directly from our training material:

All the practice in the world, can't match the excitement of two hours of pure competition!

All the competition in the world, can't replace the value of fifteen minutes of perfect practice.

Hey, all of you guys with the heavy practice schedule (mine is about 4 or 5 hours a week); let's see some proof. We need to see you guys in the BUD BOWL. Should be easy if you are at the table as posted.

Here is a thread with the details. Good luck.

I just did two sessions today and posted them to the bud bowl. I don't think I'll do more than two sessions a day even though I have enough time to because it will interupt my other practice too much.

....not enough.

....the ghost (9/10 ball) and EOSP.

I don't practice. I wish I did, but I don't. I have a table in the middle of my living room, but I just can't seem to find time.

That is me to a T.

I probably don't practice an hour a week. I play a tournament once a week if I get the chance and that is the extent of my play most weeks. I believe I have the ability to improve from where I am but I just don't have the desire that I should have. I have been known to beat the occasional champion but for the most part I generally disapoint myself. Maybe one day I will become recommitted.
