Multiball as a substitute

Training

Hello Alois and Jeff

I have a table in my basement, and I enjoy playing with my parents, but they can't hit consistent shots and are not interested in just training to better themselves. I think they would be open to feeding me multi-ball. Would this be a decent substitute for regular training? What are the downsides of training with primarily multiball? Also any tips about effective training with multiball?

Thanks

Hi Corey,

Multiball is a great substitute to not having a strong enough training partner.

Take a look at our Multiball series.  There are a couple of free tutorials there that will explain a lot about how to do multiballl and also how to make it effective.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
