How many of you practice "Safe" shots? I do this once a week. Robin gave me practice pages.

Every time I practice. Then practice getting out of the safe you just put yourself into.

Yep...me too!

Can you recommend any drills, or diagrams to work on safety shots? My safety game is quite weak, need to improve it dramatically.

The Pro Book by Bob Henning has a section with a set of standard safeties. They are a good place to start. There is also a section on kick-safeties ... which are good to know after some farging bastage plays a safety on you.

Buy it from the man himself :

As I don't get to play as often as I'd like, I don't really practice playing safe anymore. It's more like that I remember my safety attempts during a game that went wrong and set them up again afterwards and look what I did wrong and what I should've done better.
