Hi Ronan.

Whereabouts are you based? If you are that good on a 8x4, you need to get on a full-sized table ASAP and enter junior competitions.

Without seeing you in action, it's difficult to recommend practice routines. But...it's always best to practise your weakest aspect of the game.

You can practice safety but the trick to safety is knowing the angles and judging cue power. Both those come with match practice. You should get on a full size and play people who are a bit better than you who you can learn off. Maybe a coach also.

Forget safety on your table.

Find your nearest club and get on a full-sized table. If you are OK on that, contact the Republic of Ireland Billiards & Snooker Association on www.ribsa. They run junior competitions in your country.

Once you are on full-sized tables playing proper matches, then you can look at safety. I suggest finding a local coach. Failing that, experienced players in your club will be only too happy to show you practice routines.
