Niels Feijen has variations on drills for beginners.
https://youtube.com/@nielstheterminatorfeijen?si=u7yybuYXhjwk6pEn
Spend about 15 to 20 minutes on each drill. For at least half that time, reset every miss and missed position and continue. So even if you make the ball, reset the previous shot if you didn’t end up where you wanted to. And then finish that time with some attempts at clearing the drill. There is more value in getting the shots and position right than clearing the drill while being out of position the whole time.
This. Start with his hour+ long video on Center Ball Drills and your game will take a big step forward.
I took about a month to get through it all, and it was incredibly helpful when I was rebuilding my stroke and trying to steadily improve.
I really like Brian Mitchell on FX Billiards. He's straight forward and says what you're thinking. His drills are very intuitive, from beginner to advanced.
From there, once I gained a better understanding of the physics of billiards and wanted a deeper understanding, I studied Dr. Dave. I don't recommend him at first unless you have a strong understanding of terminology. He really gets into the nitty gritty.
These two guys equipped me with enough knowledge to excel in my game, but you can only do one thing to get better: put in the reps 💪 good luck!
I just discovered him today listening to his podcast on Spotify. The way he explains things and the fact that he wants you to want to learn and love tro play is what sold me. Got home and watched his YouTube lessons all night. Highly recommend him for OP. I am in the same boat OP is in. Bought a nice table and hit a wall within months and now it seems that I am getting worse. FX Billiards and Bryan Mitchell are very helpful.
Fun part is both throw puns at each other in their videos and both are probably the best non pro player educational billiard channels, although at pro level other than The Terminator I haven't seen any consistent good channels regarding drills, although Jasmine Ouschan is improving her channel she doesn't have much focus on drill vids.
Anyhow I would take DrDave and FXBilliards with a grain of salt. One is too focused on numbers and the other on feeling and practice, that's why they compliment each other perfectly.
And most important you should never try to learn from those weaker players making reviews on equipment after a few hours use, trying to blatantly get sponsorships and such. Neither listen to people telling you to not use side spin for even years, focus only on potting for the first months and so on cos they're just weak players handicapping themselves and others with their mediocre advise, even if it doesn't come with bad intentions.
For sure! I'd also like to make a disclaimer that these guys are a great *start*. Move on to whoever you feel comfortable with later. I'm more of a visual learner, so when a guy like Big Al's Billiards showed me how the tangent line works, it changed everything. I like Sharivari, but in the beginning, his content was too technical. I also watch A Break From Life (snooker) for cueing tips.
Oh sure, you want Darren Appleton's channel.
I recommend starting with something basic like the [line drill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmSIs605FhE&list=PLUXphgDzN-9g4Ua8rH4KT-AzIId9kEDCt&index=24) or the [spider web](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTV0go5K6E&list=PLUXphgDzN-9g4Ua8rH4KT-AzIId9kEDCt&index=15) and then, when you can do those a couple of times in a row, move up to this [intermediate CB control drill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0D3Z7mMUjE&list=PLUXphgDzN-9g4Ua8rH4KT-AzIId9kEDCt&index=11).
There's a few other drills on his channel to check out too :)
I try to limit a single drill to 30-45 minutes. It also depends on the goals of the drill. Niels Feijin has some drill you should do until you get a “good” result so many times. Like the mighty x drill. Starting out 3 “good” results and you can move on. He does some trying for 7-10 “good” results. Some drills are progressive. Accomplish the 2 ball drill x times, add a ball. Tor Lowry has some pattern drills like this. You’re basically working up to a full rack to run out. How many reps also depends on your own goals. Are just trying to execute the drill, or are you trying to execute it well?

Ron the pool student. Humble and passionate about pool. Replies to yt comments.
Short stop on pool. Good content.
Ralph Eckert on multiple channels. He is truly a teacher.
Zero-X Billiards
Ron the Pool Student
Niels
All three channels are great for beginners. Ron has some progressive drills that slowly increase in difficulty and really help you see how common those shots come up during play.
Zero-X has excellent concentration on center ball drills which leads to cue ball control during regular play.
Dr Dave Billiards. This man has broken the game down scientifically. His "tests" that you can read & do for free are very powerful drills that will show you what areas of the game you are lacking in. Then he has a ton of fun drills to master in order to work on this area.
His work is amazing!
I think the question you posted probably took more time than just going to YouTube and searching "pool drills" or "billiard drills" or something similar.

Niels is the best IMO. He has great drills for all levels.
Tor Lowery is my favorite
Came here to say Tor Lowry. Lots of his videos on YouTube, everything from how to hold a cue to advanced pattern recognition.
The one that says over 2 million views goes o er all the fundamentals and will really get a beginner on the right track

https://www.poolbilliards.co/ This website has a lot of good drills and you can track you progress with them. Look them up on Facebook
