What is Mighty X Drill?

The “Mighty X” drill is a classic stroke drill for practicing long, straight stop, follow, and draw shots along the long diagonals of the table, using the ball layout below. The 1 is used as the CB to pocket the 3, the 2 is used as the CB to pocket the 4, and the same for the 3-1 and 4-2, continually re-spotting the balls.

It is described by Darren Appleton in his November 2018 BD article, and it is demonstrated by Niels Feijen in this video:
