Can anyone recommend some drills for improving my game?

Question

I need some drills to improve the following:long straight shots(they kill me, I'd much rather have to cut it), bank shots, and setting up my next shot. I need to get a better feel for how a spinning cue ball will affect the path of the object ball. Thanks for your help!

I suggest you go to your local pool hall and ask some of the more seasoned players to provide you with some drills. If you have a table at home you can try some of the drills listed on the sites I listed.
