Tried a little 14.1 today....

[alphadog]

Haven't played any 14.1 in months so set up a break ball and gave it a go.
1 scratched on break
2 ran the rack missed the break ball
3 ran the rack missed the break ball
4 got stuck on 4
5 ran the rack missed the break ball
Had to go . Made note to self practice break ball shots!

Or maybe Alex Lely's "last five" drill.

Thing is none were difficult break balls and I got on as planned. All were within 5 inches of the rack and cueball wasn't over 2.5 diamonds away. I just blew it , and then blew it again and......

Do you know where I can find this drill?

Set up a break shot and shoot it. Immediately after the break shot, take all but five object balls off the table and leave the cue ball in position. Run four object balls and leave the cue ball on a break shot. Continue. When you remove the object balls, do it with a plan.

Bob thanks for the drill. It seems like a great way to practice.
