- Training "blank" strike. Here it is necessary several times to conduct a cue along the line, it is necessary to monitor whether it goes away.
- Strike the "own" ball in the pocket. It is quite simple to do this, but in the process strength and precision will be developed.
- Strike on the "strange" ball. Slowly, you should try to introduce another cue ball into the training and try to hit it.
- Cut shots.
These steps represent a certain algorithm,which must be followed when stabbing. Even experienced players sometimes train, putting two balls on the middle line of the table. From this position, there are a number of exit options. The easiest thing is to score a "strange" ball in the middle pocket.

If you break through with a roll, "your" rolls after another and, perhaps, fly just two cues. Such training will allow you to hone your skills in different types of attacks, if such a situation arises during the game, there will be many options.
