The way I practice is to rack up nine ball, break and take ball in hand (like playing the ghost). I assign balls 1-8 1pt. each and the 9 is 2 pts. for a total of 10 pts./ rack. I play 10 games for a total of 100 pts. If you miss at any time, you mark down your score for that rack and start the next rack. It helps you set goals for yourself and keep records of your improvement.
