This is a training game I originally designed for one of my students, and it turned out to be a fun and smart way to work on decision-making in 9 Ball. It's not just about running out—it's about knowing your own game, making good choices, and finding the right balance between risk and control. It gives you a clear scoring system to track progress and adds a layer of strategy that keeps things interesting. If you're looking for something different from the usual drills, this might be a great fit.
