Practicing is tough. But the only thing worse is losing. This book of exercises and puzzles provides a complex series of situations to help make your learning more interesting and challenging.
These drills and exercises are based on the concept of progressive advancement. Start with an easy setup, prove that you can make that 4 out of 5 times, and then make it slightly more difficult. Keep on pushing the limits as far as the table edges allow.
Put this book on your eBook reader, smart phone, tablet, or laptop. Bring this to the table along with your paper reinforcement rings (donuts) and you are ready to improve yourself.
This is not a book to be run through a couple of times and then set aside to gather dust in some long unvisited folder on your computing device. Open your online calendar (Google, Yahoo, etc.) and put in reminders every few months to shoot this, that, these, or those pages. In between these scheduled self-testing periods, work with the other Billiard Gods books.
Study this material in two steps. In the comfort of your favorite easy-chair or recliner, review each table layout and thoughtfully consider the ball positions. Could you do the shot at slow, medium and fast CB speeds? Use the “notes†feature of your reader to add assumptions, possibilities, and considerations. To continue developing yourself as an Intelligent Shooter – you have to get past the “fooling around†stage of your playing career and get serious about becoming a competitive player.
The purpose of the book is to provide a single-source that provides drills to improve almost any skill. Yes, drills are boring. For most people, about all they can handle is 10-15 minutes before they start looking for any excuse to stop practicing. This single source of table layouts and setups can chase away boredom for at least another 20-30 minutes.
The secret to effective practicing is to actually concentrate on improving one thing at a time. Generally, you want to practice a missed shot that cost you a game or match. You can set up and shoot that shot 30, 40, even 50 times before your intense learning desire burns out. But the boredom gremlin eventually manages to get your attention.
This book has hundreds of exercises (and when counting variations – a near infinite variety). When your interest on one exercise fades, select another drill, and so on. Start off a practice session with some ball pocketing exercises. Switch over to some drills that concentrate on making the CB dance to your tune. Then, set up some of the self-pacing practice games at the end of the book to self-demonstrate your improved playing skills.
Included is a description of the 39 different CB speed and spin variations.
