"Building Breaks - Continuation Shots "

Place the majority of reds in the triangle. Gently displace three or four from the cluster around the pink and black spots.

Place the white ball close to the baulk colours, allowing yourself a nice angle on either yellow or green to get back down the table towards the reds.

Play the colour first and obtain position on the red. Proceed to build as big a break as possible from the position obtained.

The logic behind this exercise is that after potting an initial red you will often find yourself with position on a low value colour, with a requirement to get back up the table towards the cluster of balls.

Obtaining decent position is the key to the break continuing around the pink and the black, something which is not always easy to achieve if only two or three balls have been dislodged from the triangle.

As a further exercise, scatter red balls loosely around the blue, pink and black as shown in the image below. Ensure that the colours pot into as many pockets as possible.

Start with an easy red and working hard on your potting and positional play make as large a break as possible. Keep going unbtil you break down and then start again.

Remember that hard work will be vital if you are to improve and develope your game. As a general rule, playing and practising one hour a day will maintain your game and allow for small developments in your game only.

If you really want to start noticing a big difference in your improvement and all round game then at least three hours practise per day would be required to make large strides forward.
