How to Practice, not What

So instead of doing a single drill for 30 minutes, do a drill for 15 minutes, take a break (Like by shooting a rack of 8-ball?), and then do a different drill? But since I can't fit all the drills I want to do into one day, should I do a different set of drills (Position or Cut Shots) each day? Or do one position drill, one cut shot drill, one speed control drill (etc.) each day?

Hmmm...

That "normal human being" thing is interesting.

I'm no "normal human being"... I'm different, and I know it.

15 minutes is fine for certain things, for others it's a joke.

I'll go with what feels right, and 15 minutes is often not enough.


Thanks, in any case, for your ideas; they are most appreciated!

BTW, perhaps most "normal" human beings concentrate for 15 minutes or so... Why be "normal"? Better than being "normal" is to be "successful". However, being "successful" is the first step to being great.

Allen...Thanks for reposting that reply. Short bursts of highly focused attention to specific goals, with measurable results, are far more beneficial than long, sustained practice routines...and MUCH more beneficial than hours of playing. Fifteen minutes of highly structured, disciplined practice, is more valuable than 8 hours of playing.

Hey Scott,


Thanks for all your ideas!

Just wondered if you'd like to match up with Larry Schwartz? He also teaches/gives lessons, etc.

Are you game?

Scott would not stand a chance playing with Larry. Larry is one of the finest players I have ever seen. He's one of my hero's on the bar box. His book is great, it's reccomended reading in Pool School.

Scott is an Instructor first, not a player. I guarantee you that Larry could learn something about teaching from Scott and vice versa.

When you spend around 50 hours a week teaching the game, you don't have a lot of time to fine tune your own game. But that's the choice most pro's have to make....SPF=randyg
