Because I am a huge fan of Copy and Paste, lol, I thought it would be cool to share with you all the question and the answers this player received.
Q: Anyone else have trouble focusing when practicing alone? Need some tips on how to practice the way I would play against an opponent.
Reply 1: Practice playing the ghost, and commit to competing against it the whole set, start off with shorter sets and even give yourself a reasonable spot and work your way up to playing it even
Reply 2: Definitely play the ghost like suggested, really work to stay focused. Straight Pool is also a great way to practice. Sometimes you can begin to play 9ball unconsciously because the balls tell you what you need to do. To play straight pool you’ll need to be constantly thinking of what to do next. It will improve your game all around as well.
Reply 3: Go on the road. (this received a lot of laughing emoticons)
Reply 4: I didn't contribute to the discussion on Facebook, but I will share my thoughts with you all here. I wrote a blog post many moons ago that shares how I practice. When I played by myself (which was most of the time back then), this was my practice routine - and it helped me all these years.
