G1’s Drill Run!
I
n order to become a high-level player, one must do more than just play games with friends. In this issue of SPM, I would like to introduce one of my favorite drills and how it can be manipulated in many different ways.
I was born an 8-ball player. In 2016, I captured the Iowa State 8-Ball Championship, and the following March, I captured the 2017 Illinois State 8-Ball Championship. In order to obtain high-level championships, one must comprehend what the spirit of 8-ball is. 8-ball can be described as an object ball pattern game where a player may have multiple opportunities to be successful and many opportunities to fail. The drill that is going to be discussed is my favorite object ball pattern drill. This drill is called “Twelve Ball Mayhem.” Check it out below, and you can find a YouTube clip demonstrating the drill and its different variations here.
