Awesome shooting, Scott. Very strong!
I couldn't help but noticing the BU donuts on your table. Will you be the first to post a score on a 10' table? I look forward to seeing your scores/rating and videos on the AZB BU playing-ability exam thread. I see a "Doctorate of Pool" (maybe "with Honors") in your future.
Catch you later,
Dave
Yes that is my intention. I set up the donuts and ran through the exam a couple of times just to see where my week spots are but I've been having a hard time committing to the exam when I go into the pool room, I'm finding myself competing against the ghost looking for a 100% in the 10-Ball and a #1 spot with the American Rotation.
With all of that awesome practice, the BU Exams should be a piece of cake. :grin-square:
FYI, you can do Exam I and Exam II separately and redo each at any time to improve your overall score and rating.
Catch you later,
Dave
I was gong to play in the US Open this October but life got in the way. 2016 for sure, this will give me time to work on my week spots, safety play and kick shots.
I think you could do some damage at the Bigfoot Challenge at Derby. Sucks that it's only invitational.
That would be awesome.
Busy at work and bad back keeps me away from Ghost.. Buy today got couple hours time and decided try first time that (intermediate) Straight Pool-Ghost.
1 year old cloth and tight pockets .. But managed win 100-70(two times missed break ball)
Got video also but it seem to have some kind light problems.. Have to watch from computer if it is watchable.
Ps. I noticed I played a lot better now when I tried play against Ghost than just trying high run. Any Ghost boost focus for practice IMO. Got that good nervous feel what make me play better.

Good job! It hurts to miss the break ball and give the ghost 15 balls plus 10/20/30. Keep going, a 100 ball run only comes one ball at a time.
Just now I beat the 9 ball ghost 7-3! My prior best was 7-6 one time. This time, I was much less nervous. I think because I already beat him once, the same pressure was not there. I have not been playing much the past month, and today I just went for it cold, and did it
I'll upload the video once I edit it. The camera crapped out and I know it missed one shot for sure, where I almost scratched on the 9.
Funny, when I beat him for the first time 7-6 a couple of months ago, I felt like I was on top of the world. Now, its no big deal. I guess that's whats called experience.
Edit: Here is the video

I muted the sound because I was playing music from the radio and Youtube would have muted it anyway.

That's a nice win, good work!
Sounds like you're ready for the 10-ball ghost! :wink:
Awesome!
As victorl wrote, you're ready for the 10-ball ghost now. That's what I've been working on. It seems much more challenging than the 9-ball ghost. Then there's the 15-ball ghost ... lot's to keep pushing our games higher.
Also, I'd be curious to see how well you can do on the BU Exams now. I'm sure you can crush your previous scores. Please consider giving them a try again. If you do, please post your scores and videos on the AZB BU thread.
Good luck,
Dave
Posy 391 two up is edited with the video link.
Thanks for the encouragement all I'm definitely staying with the 9 ball lol. I may switch back to 14.1 for the winter, who knows

Nice shooting Nick. 14.1 is a great game, I love it. But I rotate my playing between 4 games, rotation, 14.1, bank pool and 8 ball, focusing on one game for around 2 weeks before changing to the next. This will keep you from getting burned out which is what will happen if you focus on on one game for a long period of time. And when I feel that my game is not solid I run through the BU Exams for a few days.
Keep playing, great progress.
