Hi Ray. I'm not an expert but more of a person who is running parallel to what you are doing. Just have a year under my belt, close on same age and layoff. I just wanted to put out a couple of things that have been helping my game. 1st of all, Phil Capelle's practicing pool book has turned into more of bible. Its a very good read, lot of great drills and overall just a great book. Also, I don't know if you have checked out the BU exams. I started doing these a year ago. First initial score on exam 1 was 34 and currently have a high score of 78 on exam 1 and 129 total for exams 1 & 2. I believe that these exams have really helped my game. I see these shots come up in every game. I also play the 6-ball ghost. I run sets of 10, keeping track of possible balls, made balls, and also percentage of total possible balls ran. Also, after every rack determine if this was missed position or missed shot. After every set, I have a percentage of balls I ran and also number of reasoning for loss of runout. As a warm up, here of late, I play a round of bowlliards, which I have found very enjoyable to keep a running number of my progress. 229 high score. Good luck with your game and hope this helps. Also, hoping soon to have a lesson with Mark Wilson, fingers crossed.
