just got home from a practice session. was working on some basic runout patterns. a friend texted me and said make it harder, wipe all chalk from tip and play center ball only. oh boy it was ugly at first but then i started remembering basic fundamentals and low n behold i started running balls again.

anyone else ever practice "chalkless"

No. I use a Kamui base as a primer then chalk on every shot.:thumbup:

I'm not knocking it but wouldn't it be more practical to ... Do in practice what you do in the game. Practice under combat conditions.

It forces him to fall on the right side of the ball. If we did this all the time our patterns would be much better. We still need to be able to come with the english when we need it though

I do a similar thing in practice. I normally play with low deflection shaft and during practice I will sometimes use my original shaft which forces me play the center ball more because if deflects more. This usually helps me when I switch back to playing shaft.
