Losing from the very beginning

For some reason, games played during the last months have proved me right: my fuseki is awful. The worst I’m at fuseki, the more I have to fight during middle game. The last 20 games have been all-in tsumegos, with the result of the game as a price. Though I’m able to remember the basic theory from “In the beginning” and another fuseki book, it’s looks like if I wasn’t able to apply this knowledge to the actual game.
The result of the game depends on our life-and-death reading ability, nothing else. While I seem to consistently beat 7k, I suffer from mind-blowing defeats against 5k players… my fighting skills may be around 6k KGS.
