one of the absolute most critical areas of playing top level 9-Ball is to have proper speed. i am convinced of this. unless you have the proper speed to get on the Correct Side Of The Ball you are going to get hosed so much of the time.
lately i have been messing up racks because my speed has been off. Diana Minor told me one time that a huge factor in your success at 9-Ball is to be sure and get on the proper side of the ball, relative to your next shot. that way the cue ball will just naturally go in the direction it needs to go, and you dont have to try and force it, or go 3 rails perhaps.
anybody have any good drills to improve speed? there are simple speed drills, and there are more advanced drills i am sure.
appreciate any help.
Speed, or rather the lack of, is killing my game now.
