There are two kinds of drills, and most of us only do one πŸ‘€
Bob Keller (Ep. 9) splits them like this: Practice drills are where you work on HOW you stand and stroke. Challenge drills are where you set up a pattern and test whether it holds up.

Bob Jewett's take on technique vs decision making: decision making wins. If you consistently make the right decisions according to your abilities, you'll outperform players with better technique who keep choosing the wrong shots.
But technique has its own irreplaceable role. If you want to move up several levels, there's no path there without improving technique. Decision making is the more important of the two for winning now. Technique determines how high your ceiling can go. You need both but in different ways.

A stop shot is a lie detector for your fundamentals πŸ•΅οΈ Dr. Dave (Ep. 2) tells the story of running stop drills and noticing his cue ball drifted right every single time. That pattern led him to a half-inch head position fix that changed how he saw every shot.

Bob Jewett explains what changed the understanding of sq**rt and cue ball deflection: for a long time it was a mystery. Players thought it was connected to cue stiffness, taper, or other factors.
Turns out it's almost entirely controlled by the mass in the last few inches of the cue stick. That single discovery pointed players who wanted to reduce sq**rt in the right direction for the first time. Understanding what actually causes deflection changes how you think about tip contact, sidespin, and cue selection entirely.

Demetrius Jelatis reframes competition entirely: stop trying to go win the tournament. Go collect your losses. Any that survive become wins.
You can't play perfect pool 100% of the time, so making happiness conditional on performance means being miserable most of the time. That's a losing deal before you even rack the balls. And here's the test that reveals whether you're competing enough: when was your last heartbreaking loss? If you can't remember, you're not putting yourself out there enough. The losses are the proof of real competition. Collect more of them.

Cue the Experts S3 Ep 02 - Bob Jewett: There Is No Secret

Bob Jewett walked into the Berkeley student union in the 1960s, found seventeen pool tables, and lost interest in his math degree. He turned that background into a career nobody else in the sport has: a week in Jacksonville in 1998 shooting cue balls at 12,000 frames per second to prove how cue ball deflection works, 500 articles for Billiards Digest, and a billiards library of two thousand volumes. Ask this PBIA Master Instructor for hidden gems and he tells you there aren't any. We discuss why the secret everyone hunts for does not exist, the ripped ferrule that accidentally gave him a low deflection cue in 1980, why a ball sinks half an inch into the cushion, the 80 percent rule behind his 15-level Runout Drill System, and why only one student in ten practices between lessons.

Get Bob's course info and his 20-page handout at sfbilliards.com.

Mark Finkelstein breaks down consistency to its core: stance, shooting system, and a repeatable way of evaluating angle, speed, and spin. Repeat it until it's automatic. Automatic means no pressure.
The mental shift that changes everything: you don't control winning. You don't control the ball going in. You control where you stand, your stroke, and your breathing. That's it. Focus only on what you control and confidence follows naturally. Being process-oriented isn't just good advice. It's the entire foundation of consistent pool.

Be honest: Which one is your practice session? πŸ˜…
A: Rack 'em, break 'em, try to run out.
B: Structured drills, one skill per session.

Bob Keller (Ep. 9) says 99% of amateurs practice one of these ways, and he has strong feelings about which one actually builds your game.
