Take this to the table

Keep the layout repeatable so the result gives you something useful to observe.

  1. Use a short, comfortable shot with the white, red and corner pocket on one straight line.
  2. Reset both balls after each attempt. Keep the same layout and count your pots out of ten.
  3. Notice a pattern, then choose one preparation point to work on in the next set. The score is feedback, not a player ranking.
Quick check: What should you keep the same across the ten attempts?

The ball positions and intended pocket. A repeatable layout makes your observations more useful than ten unrelated shots.

How many short straight pots can you make?

Place one red and the white on a straight line. Keep it short and comfortable.

No deliberate side spin. Use a steady bridge and a comfortable pace.

Reset both balls to the same positions after every attempt.

Record pots, miss direction and whether you stood up early.

Try one focus next set. A miss direction does not diagnose the cause.

Ten is a practice set, not a pass mark. Progress at your own level.
