If your shot isn’t perfectly straight, you will definitely hate taking long shots. If you aren’t sure if your shot is straight or not, then start using this drill and you will figure it out rather quickly. This drill will help get your stroke a lot straighter, in addition to helping you feel more comfortable in taking table length shots. The margin for error is a lot smaller when you attempt shots that span the length of the table. So after this drill your short game will seem like a piece of cake.
Balls are ramdomly spread at end of table. You get ball in hand for every shot. Alternate the pocket you shoot for.
