Sounds like you're doing allright to me. Just spend some time practicing banks.
Line balls up along each long rail, about a diamond or so apart. Start at one end of the table and begin making short banks to the corner. As you move up the table, switch to the side pocket, then continue on to the last corner. This drill comes from one of Grady's cd's and once you can cross-bank all fifteen balls blindfolded while standing on one leg, you win a T-shirt. :smile:
P.S. Just kidding about the blindfold, the leg, and the T-shirt.
