Hello everyone, I am brand new to the forum today and I'm excited to be a part of it! I am fairly new to the game of one pocket but I have fallen in love with it.
Anyway, on to the discussion... I was playing a decent player last night who was giving me 6-8 (I probably needed more) and every game we played I found myself in the same situation; all the balls uptable and the cue on the rail by my pocket. The question I have is what to do from here in order to gain momentum? I found myself without the option of banking much back toward my hole without leaving him a decent bank if I missed, and for the life of me I couldn't think of a safety that would accomplish much but get me into the next inning. I ended up getting impatient and going after banks that I shouldn't have in an effort to make something happen. I'm not looking necessarily for a one shot move, more of a general approach in order to sway the tides.
Thank you all in advance for your input
