Pocket Reducers....

[Russ Chewning]

Not sure if this topic was covered before but it can only be used for practice purposes. No need special drills, you can invent anything for yourself as long as it serves you well. Just roll out the balls and shoot also can. And it's also impossible to run the balls if you're shooting anywhere below 9cm. I'm shooting 8cm, only going for aiming and pocketing, not running and no cheating. You can try it but be prepared your hair autoperm due to frustration, smoking. Nonetheless you can take it as a workout on mental stamina and tolerance. Just play around, real games cannot use.

Honestly the first time I read the title, I thought you guys were talking about my ex-girlfriend. She sure did know how to "reduce my pocket".

You just reminded me of a thread I participated elsewhere. The title was applying english, I made a half page post on it. Then a joker popped out of nowhere and shot "why english??? why not japanese french or german???"

Curious. She became your ex after she reduced your pockets or because you didn't let her reduce your pockets?

I haven't read this whole thread, but just take 2 plastic checkers and lay in each side of the pocket. You can hear them if you don't hit the pocket clean. Just a thought on a free way to tighen your pockets.

I use them from time to time.
Trying full table length draws using pocket reducers is a challenge for anyone's stroke.

Oh, yes. Stalev can run 8 and out in Pyramid. But I don't think he can give any weight to Reyes.

They're good to practice making balls dead-center. And a great gimmick game for 1P... there is a local room owner who plays a bunch of the short-stops around here with a spot (9-7/9-6), and some even - if they use the pocket reducers... he's about a T.A.P 5 speed.
