Someone on the 20 minute workout thread suggested (for practice) throwing all 15 balls on the table then shooting them *all* in with left, then next set of balls with all right, then follow, draw, etc.
I did not have time to practice yesterday, but played a friend (8-ball) for several hours last night. So I decided to practice then, but did not tell my friend what I was doing. The first game I shot all my shots with force follow, then next game all left, game after that right, then draw.
My friend was giving me all sorts of nasty looks and calling me every name in the book because my playing was all of a sudden unpredictable - I was missing shots and then leaving the cue ball in all sorts of weird places. It really threw him off!
Anyway, this was better than practice since it was during a real game.
I discovered that I made more pockets than usual when using force follow, did OK with left and draw, but missed more shots than normal when using right. I suspect I have used left English more than right English in the past or maybe being right handed right eyed has something to do with it????
