Chapter 2

Approaching the PAT system like this means that the player is regularly confronted with competitive situations during the training sessions. And a fundamental feature of competitive situations is that they cannot be repeated! This is the moment it counts! I have always designed my training sessions like this. Depending on the time each individual person can devote to the sport, one may just practice one exercise per week while another practices 3 or 4 exercises every week. But, however often you train, you will still be dealing with the same problem, practicing the skills you need to become a good pool player. You can do this by playing through the lead-up or alternative exercises described here or by inventing your own exercises. You can even repeat the original PAT drills. But the scores are only recorded once a week!

There are lots of different exercises to practice different skills. Your club trainer is sure to know lots of alternatives! There are the lead-up exercises (easier than the official PAT exercise) and the alternative exercises which are more varied and designed for more advanced players.

In the official PAT training manual you can find all the score sheets you need to start training. And on the official PAT DVDs 1-3 you can see the exercises being played.
