practice set up for 20 odd break player

[lesedwards]

Les is that thirty pinks without touching the White, so it's pot the pink and play the White from where it lands, that's quite hard IMO. I do the routine like that but you can't pot the pink into the same bag twice, so you kind of end up working your way round it in a circle , never managed thirty I don't think.

Yes that's it exactly, I got to 19 Pinks today and 16 Blacks. I really enjoy these three Routines and as far as I am concerned from the blue spot down is where the points are and where I leave way to many.

Thats a practice routine I do to warm up, pot the pinks going round the pockets in a clockwise rotation by stunning round by 90 degrees to leave the next angle. I always end up straight on them eventually so you have to roll through and pinch a bit of the pocket and grow the angle again. Generally speaking I find the pink to be the most accessible during frames as the black is easily tied up so find the positional practice around it useful.

Yes very useful. Also for me the Black off its spot teaches you a lot about where the cue ball is going off the rail. Tomorrow I will attempt to better both and run four reds with blacks still stuck on three.

CHeers,

Coors Light Work is no excuse......lol I work everyday. I am now up to 17 Blacks. & 19 Pinks. Still cannot get by the three reds and three blacks but it will come when my new table arrives next week. Working hard every night and it is paying off. Played at a friends house last night where he normally beats me but not this time, all three games where over before we got to the colours. Amazing the difference in tables. We have tried to open my pockets so much that there is no under cut left. This table I played on was tighter then mine but they just sucked the ball in. Had some mid 20 breaks and played great around the pink and black.

BCE Westbury Steel Block. I will be picking it up tomorrow and bringing it home. I will put it in my third bay of my garage and my plan is to totally refurbish it to brand new. I will make a new post once I bring it home so I can give you play by play photos as it takes shape. My table is sold. My wife says this better be it..... I said of course she said that's what you told me three tables ago.


These photos are from the previous owner as it was being setup.

Very good 2 cents worth......

I have been working on three routines.
1. How many blacks I can make off the spot.
2. How many pinks I can make off the spot.
3. Put black on its spot and one red then go to two reds and so on.

Result is exactly the same as your two cents. It's not that I am not making good pots it's the fact that I am on the next ball in the wrong position and then it just gets worse. I think if I can master these three routines I should be very good when I am left in the balls. Now when I say master these routines I would say 30 blacks, 30 pinks and 5 reds with blacks. I think that is realistic.
Right now
10 Blacks
12 Pinks
3 Reds with Blacks

not too clear can i go from blacks to pinks etc?

I hope you don't mind me asking but what did you say to the new owner of your table? Did you tell him/her the truth? That you and Cliff Thorburn and perhaps Floyd Zeigler consider it the table from hell ...
