Keeping score
For open ended shot drills (stop shots usually) I use groups and markers so I happen to have purple and orange ear plugs but you could use any two small objects coins ect. My orange marker is groups and when I pocket a group of 5 balls I move it one diamond. The purple marker is errors when I make a mistake I move it a diamond. That way I have a constant running talley. Then when I finish a Stage, Position, I mark it in my book. Early on I used to mark every shot in a book so I could see error trends in my shooting. IE do I usually miss to the left or the right but I hadn't had a trend in a while so I stopped doing that and just started recording the raw stat.
Some of my drills are 10 or 15 balls in different positions Large area or small area. With these drills after I miss I mark what I pocketed in the book. Usually I only allow my self 10 attempts at a drill. That way I am forced to make every attempt count thus my usual ball counts of 100 and 150. My drills are on a link at the top of my blog in the thin black line.
I have quite a few "followers" on my blog and my twitter feed (auto tweeted from the blog) some are friends some are just random people. Some are real actual poolebritys So I try not to overdo it with the statistical details and try to add in some stories from my life. So as not to be too boring. I get the most engagement when I post my treadmill runs strangely, but what ever I'm just glad people help me keep motivated.
