It's been a while since I posted on here.
One Pockets still my favorite game and I feel I'm playing pretty strong but still need to improve a lot.
I've got some regular games and they are tough - one game I give 10-5 and the breaks to an older gentleman for $50 a game and I have to play jam up to win anything (most of the time we break even)... another game I play someone close to my age (33) and he's a much stronger 9 ball player and is fearless - he spots me 10-7 for 20-40 a game and we tend to break even. Other than these 2 games anyone else wants the world as a spot and they're not willing to play a fair game.
I don't have the money to step up and play some of the other big dogs in the area (they play hundreds a game or sets for thousands). So how do I improve more?
I've read every book I can find on one pocket (that is still in print) and I've watched practically every instructional DVD on one pocket. My banking is real strong and cue ball control is pretty strong (one area I know can be a little sharper). I have a decent break. I have gotten better at power shots (moving several balls and turning a game around). I'm just not sure how to step my game up to the next level. Any opinion or help would be appreciated.
