Pool Practice Drills - Open Table | Pool School

This video is about a pool practice routine called Open Table. There are two variations of the drill with a slightly different layout of the balls. The focus of the routine is to improve cue ball control, shot planning and potting consistency.

The demonstrations are done on a UK pool table but could also easily be carried out on american pool or even snooker tables.

I just stumbled across your channel through YouTube recommendations. Very nice camera setup combined with simple but effective video and sound editing!

Great video! I haven't played for a few years and looking to get my eye back in, so really helpful

Excellent practice drill could easily be done on a snooker table also. Must try this for a video

This is the first ever billiard drill I practiced in our billiard club back in college...

Great drill set up.
I feel very confident in trying this and improving my standards.
As it is, I'm just hitting and hoping.
Well, no more smack and go for me.
Thanks for the tips

I'm gonna give this routine a go and see if it helps improve my game more

Thanks for posting this! I had a few questions:
- How do you find playing some shots with the shorter cue? Does it make much of a difference?
- What size table is this? What make/kind of table is it?

Hi, where did u find this pool table if u don’t mind me asking

[rokerrite]

Hi a bit advice if you can, I’ve been playing a couple of years, I was playing quite well, but recently I find I’m having trouble with my angles when potting, I’ve gone through my stance and it seems fine, done the bottle practice and the potting of the straight shot into the corner pocket, and no problem with either, don’t know if it’s a mind thing or eyesight thing any advice would be appreciated, enjoy your videos, very helpful to get me where I was until recently cheers John

Any more drill variations? Or know where I can find them? Thanks.

I love and appreciate your videos! I'm considering getting a pool table although my space is limited. If you don't mind me asking, what size table do you have and what are the dimensions of that room? It would be of great help to me in making this decision- thank you!!
