Henning's Pro book is an excellent resource for position practice.

Cue ball control first!
Some will say I'm just mincing words or arguing semantics, but I think cue ball control must come before position drills.
I just developed ten CB control drills for one of my students. I showed him the drills, he tried them, and then we made them a game.
We played games with these drills for two hours, had lots of fun, and his game improved substantially.
Thought maybe some folks could benefit from some drills focused on position (including myself).
Hopefully some others will post ones that they work on, and they don't have to be specific to any one game.
This first one is something I've been working on a lot recently, because I noticed that the majority of pros don't screw it up, but almost all weaker players end up frozen on the rail that the 8 is on.
Obviously the speed of the table will determine if you plan to hit the short rail or not. I think that's the importance of practicing this shot.
