That will force you to focus! I'm starting to see the benefit to practicing with limited pocket options. It really makes you think and plan. Thanks

Yeah it forces you to think of new routes and angles to play shape. Then when you're playing regular matches you have a serious arsenal of shots at your disposal 😂

Nice, it's a lot harder going into that pocket rather than the other corner pocket... it's very difficult to maintain perfect position as there is hardly any margin for error... Nothing like getting deep into this drill to feel the pressure on the last few balls though lol

Need to find a new challenge now... this drill is great for practicing in general though. Not sure how it would work out on your 8ft table though as ideally you need to pot the balls by the one middle pocket quickly and I don't think you will be a keen to do that on a smaller table?
@andrewlaprairie2 ай бұрын
@@darkSIDEpool it is quite challanging to move the cue ball up the side rail with the lack of realestate on my 8 footer to try to atrack those middle rows.i was having more success playing cross table position between the side rails. This one might be out of my reach but i find that i really hone in my focus after practicing these tough challanges, regardless of how successful i was. Great practice drill. I just re-tipped my shaft so i cant wait to get back on the table
