Lately I've been thinking about better ways to practice. I started playing seriously about two months ago and I get to the table on average twice a week for a few hours. As of right now, I'm just setting up basic shots and practicing CTE Pro One visuals and sweeps. I spent about 2 hours working 4 different shots and an hour trying to sink 3 consecutive pockets and then moving on to 4, 5, etc.
I'm a musician and have been playing guitar close to 15 years now and when I'm in practice mode, I have all the mechanics divided up and attack each one individually. After that, I'll put them all together by learning a piece that's challenging.
So what are all the different aspects of pocket billiards?
Stroke (straightness)
Stroke (speed)
Cuts (left and right at varying degrees)
Straight ins
Long shots
Banks
Combos

Does anyone practice like this?
How do you guys divide up your time when practicing. Let's say 2-3 hour sessions.
