Currently my training centers around a lot of drills of which I document the results. IPAT is a great foundation and starting point and I am currently allocating 1 year to each section but will remain flexible in this approach. My plan is to pass each level at least 3 times before moving on to the next section.
Denny Stewart of the Ohio Pool School is a great coach and I am happy to be working with him again every week.
I practice drills for 2-3 hours per day and am currently working on incorporating more match play into my routine. I play in APA masters once a week as well.
For mechanics and stroke straightness this has been a huge help. I work with this for at leas 7 continous minutes twice a day. ( It doesn’t sound tough but by the end I guarantee your arm is on fire) It is just my opinion but I believe 90% of missed shots are due to problems with your storke…
Paper Matches- I have also incorporated 25 paper practice games into my weekly routine. This helps a great deal with pattern play and tip position.
Taking Denny’s advice I use Mika Immonen’s pro- shot glove every time I practice.
The Ice Man ( Not Val Kilmer.. but still dangerous)
Focused practice, tracking results, working on fundamentals, throwing in occasional matches…sounds like you are on the right track! Good luck in your journey!!
Thanks Michael yep, trying. You too! I have to say what has helped me the most is the coaching because it helps me get 2nd hand perspective and a heck of a lot of info.
