Drill one:
Set up a shot, object ball in the centre of the table and cue ball straight in from the head string. Now accomplish the following goals:
1) Pocket the OB and stop the CB dead 10 times in a row.
2) Pocket the OB and follow the CB into the same pocket 10 times in a row.
3) Pocket the OB and draw the CB into the pocket from which you are shooting 10 times in a row.
4) Pocket the OB and stun the CB forward 1 diamond at a time 10 times in a row each until the CB stops just before the corner pocket.
5) Pocket the OB and draw the CB back one diamond at a time 10 times in a row until you almost draw into the corner pocket.
This drill is excellent for teaching feel, cue ball control, cue ball understanding, centre ball hits, stroke mechanics, and confidence at range. To increase the difficulty increase the distance between the CB and OB.
