I get bored with drills very fast but they do serve a purpose. If you have a dislike of drills as I do but want to get the benefit of a drill, try the drillless drill.
As and example if you want to drill left english, just throw the balls out and use left english of varying degrees on every shot. It could be anything you want to work on, draw, high, curve etc., does not matter. Do not worry about position, just concentrate on your purpose for left english whatever it may be, pocket skill, deflection testing, carom effect or all. If a shot ends in bad position, just move the Cue ball to a better location and continue on. Its practice, not a game with rules, the purpose is to learn left english and not worry about the next shot. If you miss a shot you really wanted to try, set it up again and re-shoot to get it right then move on. If you see a shot you really want the try that does not involve left english go for it then resume with the left english on the next ball.
The drillless drill is more fun and will not seem like a drill but you will gain experience quite quickly. Just a rack or two can make a big difference. Of course if you want to learn an exact shot, then drill away.
