Concentrate fully, that must be the hardest thing to do.
I've been playing 5 days a week( 2-4hours a day) for the last 2 months now, and after a significant improvement i seem to be going backwards the last few weeks. Half of the time I am playing alone so it's starting to get boring.
At the moment when I practice I don't practice any particular shots, I am just playing trying to get the easy things correct(no point practing the difficult things if i cant do the easy things consistently), on my day i'm pretty good, but lately I seem to be getting worse the more I play. I know mostly it's to do with concentration.
How long do I need to practice until I know I've reached my peak, 6-12months? I know 2 months is nothing, I plan on playing in a league in Norway next year, there is Div 2, Div 1 then the Elite, someone at our club said they will write me a letter to get me in Div 1 because I am to good for Div 2, I have played some of the players and they are good, I can beat them but I don't think I am capable of beating 3/4/5 in a row. I will see how i fair in this league next year and if i can compete I will really try hard for a few months to practice and improve.
Anyway I have rambled on for a while now, any advice on fun good ways to practice alone? I am still getting used to the weight of the balls and how they react, my position isn't anywhere near as good as it is at snooker or normal 8ball pool
