    Are my patterns off or is it just me?

    I am having trouble closing out games and was hoping for some insight from the instructors here. After breaking, provided I make a ball, I can usually pocket the majority of my object balls but I tend to get stuck on the 8 ball or my last two object balls before the 8. Do you think it’s more...
