Why Practice This Drill

Test how well your cue action is working.

Pick A Game

Club player: Practice for 15 minutes and complete the drill on all 6 pockets (6 successful straight long pots). 

Pro: Practice for 15 minutes and pot two balls into each pocket without missing. 

Long Straight Pots Steps 

Step 1: Set Balls Up

Place red ball on blue spot, and white ball somewhere that needs a long straight pot.

Step 2: Play The Shot

Play the shot. If you make it, go onto another pocket. If you miss the pot, analyse why (see step 3).

Step 3: Analyse The Miss 

If missing right, you’re putting right hand side on cue ball. If missing left, you’re putting left hand side on cue ball. To find out why you’re consistently missing, you may need to get a snooker coach to take a look at your technique.

Get the Snooker Practice Drills Planner and track your Drill Time progress

This snooker drill was from our Snooker Practice Drills Planner. If you want to unleash the snooker champion within, Drill Time is the best way to train your body to move like a snooker pro.

But if you really want to practice like the pros, I highly recommend Drill Time and tracking the results of all your Drill Time. Tracking progress is what the pros do. Even though you may not be a pro, if you practice like a pro, you're guaranteed to improve. But if you practice like an amateur, you're guaranteed to stagnant at your current level. 

The Snooker Practice Drills Planner has 100+ drills. All you need to do is open the planner, look through the drills, find one you like, add it to the Snooker Practice Score Card that comes with the planner, and track your results in the Practice Diary section. Over the weeks, months and years you'll be able to track your Drill Time progress, and see what areas of your game need more Drill Time.

If you've read this far, you already know there are no short cuts in snooker. You already know that the best way to unleash the snooker champion within is putting in Drill Time and Tracking Your Progress. Get the Snooker Practice Drills Planner today, and unleash the snooker champion within.
