I ran a 27 and a 33 in friendly competition last night. It was on an 8-foot table with medium-tight pockets. It was most likely my highest run on an 8-foot table as I usually play on 9-foot tables. My friend dominated me, playing very steady and punishing me on my misses with runs that generally ended safe. At one point the match was 11 to 90-something, but it ended 116 to 150, so I rallied a bit in the end.
I'm looking forward to trying it again so I'll get more practice on an 8-foot table.

i was piddling and getting pissed then i decided to get serious but stay relaxed like reyes and stop second guessing my aim. it worked! i ran 84 with a good rhythm and no hail mary shots. my run ended when i scratched on a nice angle, behind the rack break on rack 7 because i took jim rempe's advice. he says on his video: if you go into the center of the pack from the back, "just hit-em, balls are going to scatter everywhere..." well i did just that and yes, balls did scatter but my cue beelined for the corner pocket. end of run..... i gotta practice those break balls and see what works. damn you king james......
the other breaks were from about 1993/94 as i remember correctly. the 72 shot on qualifying tournament for german champion ship in 1992. long long ago.... ^^ but cue feels good again. just satisfying to play again, thats the most important.
Put me up with 100! Just ran the big one yesterday! And considering I had trouble running 60 this year it is really BIG for me! Alex Lely gave me really great advice yesterday (I really LOVE internet right now) and in 2 hours the result came..

Congrats on hitting the magic number. More to come, I hope.
Alex Lely is a really nice guy- met him long ago on a tournamet in Leiden/Netherlands (about 15 years ago)when he was already a very good player. Even if he tried to *shark* me later i really liked him. Has a nice style to play, too.
