your practice wil definately help your one pocket--thats for sure..... i respot any balls i made after the break when my inning is over, just like a real game..... i shoot all different kinds of banks, not just the ones sitting easy, so im ready for anything..... its kind of weird, you know, these banks are starting to feel like straight in shots..... i had something funny happen today---ths guy comes up to me and says he wants to play me 8ball on the bar box for 20 a game and he INSISTS we bank the 8..... i declined at first ,but he was persistent so we played.....he must have seen me bank, or word got around or something---i got him for 100 , then he quit me, but everytime i got to the 8 ball, id say "you know what that looks like?" " a bank shot?!?" he said.....i returned,"no, it looks like a big slice of apple pie to me" then i drilled it home and said" mmmmm delicious" after every 8 ball made ---you never seen a guy so happy to give me the cheese hahaha...... got to give them some entertainment, and they'll thank you for beating them--besides, the old boy got quite a show, haha
