Drills:

Get in Line

IF IT’S been awhile since you’ve picked up a cue, this drill is a great refresher course for cue-ball control.

With a ball on the spot, place the cue ball a few inches off the side rail, so it’s in perfect line with the corner pocket. Once you can consistently pocket the ball with a stop shot, try to leave the cue ball one diamond from the point of impact using draw and follow.
