Thanks to all for the responses. I have Freddies books, understand Dr. Dave's Plus 2 system, been to Stan's home for an 8 hour course in Pro One, etc. I found my problem was that speed variations distorted my intended target path.
I wasn't just trying to go to the side pocket as in a Golf game. But in some One Pocket situations my target may be closer to the cue ball by the side pocket. Why? Because after the 1 ball comes off the 3rd rail it may go to the intended pocket in the upper left corner or at least off the cluster of balls and carom to my pocket. ( If someone knows how to draw lines in this table, please let me know.)
To determine these variations I put page hole protectors at the original cue ball and at the 1 ball. Then I shot this with a variety of speeds and very quickly got a better feel for these shots.
Thanks again for your help.
