It's better to put the blue on it's spot, the cue-ball on the baulk-line for a full ball pot to a top pocket, and screw back to baulk. You can focus on really getting through the white this way. This is what Hendry suggests in his book.sigpic

Hendry dislikes this drill, and so do I, because it enourages a hurried, unfinished follow-through.

Hendry's book is called Snooker Masterclass, I stole my copy from the library. I don't think it's in print anymore. Jimmy White has a book with the same title, which is much better in that it is more detailed, has better diagrams, and contains more advanced information. Hendry's book is more focused on the basics, though it is very well written and easy to absorb.
The Jimmy White book is downloadable off of torrent sites, I'm not sure about the other one.sigpic
