Declared-target points

Success target: 6 of 10 points ended through the target you declared.

How to run it

  1. 01Before each point, your pair quietly agrees a target: a specific opponent, the middle gap, or a specific glass.
  2. 02You only "win" the point (for the drill) if it ends via your declared target.
  3. 03A normal win through the wrong channel scores zero — discipline over luck.
  4. 04Play 10 points, then compare declared vs actual.

Why it works

Strong pairs don't hit better shots so much as the same shots at better addresses — declaring the target forces the plan to exist.
