Punch hole stickers for practice shots

I played trumpet in high schools & I think music & pool are a bit different, but I totally agree with the rest of your post.

In terms of practice very little difference.

Try this to see if it is your stroke or if you're not seeing the shot correctly.
Place two(2) 'object' balls on each side of a head end corner pocket to tighten the pocket just a LITTLE on each side. Now go to a position behind the spot on the foot end & place the cue ball about 'your' follow thru distance behind the table spot directly in line with the corner pocket opening. Now shoot the cue ball into the pocket without hitting the other balls on each side of the pocket, hold your follow thru & look to see if the cue tip is directly over the spot. If you want you can use your sticky donut holes placed closely together & roll the cue ball between them & see if the cue tip is in the middel of them. If your stroke is good or when you get it good & you're still not pocketing balls. It probably is an aiming thing & there are several if not many different aiming ideas to try. I personally started out with the ghost ball system but then quickly started using english & physics along with it. Good luck with it.

PS The good thing about that red cloth is that wine stains won't show up as bad as on a 'traditional green' cloth. I would suggest that you use Masters 'tan' chaulk. It won't dis-color your cue stick red over time.

You caught me and my red cloth. I like red wine, Diet coke and vanilla vodka. It also looks great in porn flicks! :grin-devilish: Just kidding! I gotta dish it out when I can.

I may need a diorama to help me figure out that drill. Thanks though! :grin:

New age. Set up a zoomed in video camera at one end of the table far enough away as to not damage it should a ball jump the table & then shoot to a ball near the rail or a spot on the rail DIRECTLY 'under', on line with, the camera & then check your stroke. Is the cue stick moving straight or is it 'hooking' in or 'slicing' out? Good Luck. I actually hope your stroke is the problem as I think that it is easier to fix than some aiming or seeing issues. Here's to red wine, porn flicks & 12 or more year old single malt scotch. Oh, and beer too.
