Setting Up Pool Drills
I have always wanted a pool table and I finally have one. I have played pool off and on since 1991 and having a table in the house is just awesome! I have been shooting a lot of practice drills from both Nick Varners Pro Skill Drills (both dvd & book) and Play Your Best 9 Ball. Besides perfecting the skill in the drill itself, the most frustrating part of shooting drills is the time it takes to setup certain drills. You have to place multiple balls in a straight line, or one on each diamond, etc. A tip I found in Play Your Best 9 Ball saved the day…use reinforcement labels! Reinforcement labels are those little “donuts” that are used to keep paper in 3-ring binders from tearing. I use them everywhere on the table and have not had any problems. They say “permanent” on them, but apparently that applies to only paper as I add and remove them all the time. The labels are so thin, that they do not disrupt the roll of the ball. I have Simonis 860 felt and they have caused no damage, but use at your own risk!
