How to practice by yourself

[clive1929]

This question I'm sure has been asked a bunch but...
...what is the best way to practice without doing the same
Boring drills over and over?
I bought an old fisher 8 ft table and I'm ready to practice. I bought the table for 2 reasons. One it was cheap and 2nd it has tight pockets like a diamond.
Back to the question. I've done drills: circle drill, L drill, banking, kicking, breaking etc. Im getting better but I'm bored with the drills.
Do I play the ghost now? Break, ball in hand? No ball in hand? No one to practice with close by thats better than me.
Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks

All good advice so far.The only thing I would like to add is to always leave the practice table
on a positive note. If that means you have to pop in a half dozen 12 inchers so be it. Go away with good thoughts.
