Drills for practicing potting angles?

[Jaggy]

Hey guys,

Been playing quite a bit recently and really looking to improve. My main problem is probably getting the correct potting angles. Often enough I would get the angle woefully wrong, with the ball going no where near the pocket.
Are there any particular drills that could help me with this, or is it just a matter of practicing potting a lot? I have a feeling it may be a concentration problem at times too; what should i be focusing on, cue ball or object ball?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

You should focus on the object ball last . I dont think there is any magic potion that will help you with potting angles , you just have to practice them over and over until your brain memorises them . A lot of the time a player can pick the right angle but cant make the pot because of technical issues , that can anything from walking into thhe shot off line or wonky stance , poor bridge , head movement or moving on shot , etc etc .

Thanks mate. Was hoping there would be a magic potion as it's very frustrating at times... but this is a frustrating game to learn! haha. I think one thing I need to realise is that I need to focus 100% on every shot. I think I'm missing some easy ones because I'm thinking to myself this is an easy pot so I don't concentrate as much.

all i did was line ups.... forces you to roll shots in to the pocket and not worry to much on positionin as ur nearly always gonna be on a pot. that way you can focus on potting. otherwise spend 15 mins at time just potting blues off spot, then pinks etc. but try potting from where white finishes from previous pot
