Man I really need to find a way to put more content in this 'blog. It's not like I don't play pool every day of my life. You'd think I could come up with something to write about more often.

So one of my problems of late has been that I love to bank balls but I need to practice normal shots as well.

I've reached a bit of a compromise.

I break and run a rack of 8-ball, then I get to practice a rack of banks. If I don't run out my 8-ball rack I keep trying until I do break and run.

Once I've done my 8-ball runout then my rack of banks, I switch to 9-ball and do the same thing. I run out from the break in 9-ball and my reward is that I get to bank for a while.

Seems to be accomplishing my goal of not completely sucking at either discipline.
