hey randy hows it going??
I admire your devotion to the game. I'll start doing a drill or two and then play 8 ball. Wish I could be more devoted to doing drills but 8 ball is a lot more fun.
Do both. Don't do the drills until you are bored stiff. Quality is much preferred over quantity.
as everyone else, I'd do both, but I think what i would be concentrated on mostly are drills, and also sitting up shots , difficult ones, and try to make them with different English, follow/draw and left/right, just to get the feel of the shot, and to memorize how to execute that type of a shot and make the ball.
wish I had a table at home.

more break and run practice than drills, but I do a lot of drills.
There are time in the development of your game that simply making shots is more important that what those shots might be.
There are other time in the development of your game where setting up particular shots and shooting them is more important tham simply making a string of random shots.
Knowning when you game is lacking in one but not the other is key to being aware of on what you should be practicing.

I think the better you get the less time you need to do drills and more time playing the ghost, 14.1, or competing or gambling. A better player will only need to do drills on the kinks in there armor. For instance I have been breaking and running out really well but my safeties are causing me to give up games. So I need to work on those in some sort of drills or set up situations.
Remember, the pros are pros because they have mastered ever facet of the game. They dont have weaknesses. Think about SVB, hes a beast because he really doesnt have any weakness and executes 99% of everything he does at a masterful level.
Weaker players need to spend more time doing drills than running balls until they bring some parts of there game up (shot making and postion).

It's all about getting in the zone for me personally.
That doesn't tend to come from shooting shots repetitively but from getting in gear running tables.
I do practice certain shots though, such as: straight in cross table, draw shots etc. but that's really more for your mechanics. To me it's much more important to establish a rhythm from running tables.
