This is from the $300 fast&loose Challenge Rack 7, which has yet to be completed successfully. Prize is now $100 to the first person to complete it and upload their runout before midnight on Sunday 6/30/14 (PT).

Check out this guy's runout. His name is David Hennessy, and gets pretty damn far with 13 balls! Try it yourself.

Very nice. Maybe he could have hit that 14 softer and played a three rail on the 15.

My wife would tell him to get some paint on those walls:smile:

I considered laying up for the three railer... but I liked the percentage in shooting the 15 down the rail.

Hit the 14 thick and missed shape anyways...

We used to do that drill without touching the rail. Just draw the ball. That was back in the days before all the lets turn pool into snooker wienies took over and changed the equipment. If you got a bit out of line, just shoot to one side of the pocket or the other and lengthen or shorten the line of the draw to get back in line. That kind of artfulness has left the game forever now. No one even knows how to play that way anymore. Such a shame. Those guys ruined a beautiful game.

I agree. WTH does that mean? Does that mean on or before Saturday 11:59pm PT (23:59 PT military time), before it rolls over to Sunday? Or does it mean on or before Sunday 11:59pm PT before rolling into Monday?

Most ridiculous comment. Show some respect, this is a crazy drill that VERY FEW will get past the 9. I'd like to see you try it, and since you're sooo good, don't use rails.

Show some respect yourself. Some of us on here have been there, done that while you were learning how to walk. This drill has been around for 40 years that I know of and average players do it. Not just the "soooo good" ones.

You're an arrogant jerk . Show your runout and we'll see who's "been there". Just because you claim you know everything and have been around since the very beginning of the game doesn't give you the right to belittle someone who has accomplished something great, Do you tell someone who does a break and run "So what? I've done that." Do you say the same thing to someone who pockets a single ball? You're an embarrassment.

The drill you're talking about allows you to use more than one pocket, and allows you to shoot any ball at any time. Don't be an ignorant dick. You can't do this given a week I bet.

Oops, I meant Monday 6/30 at 11:59PM. The confusion I think was that I said Sunday. Sorry.
 
tried it today about 10 times, got to the 12. This is a tough drill and if I can hold the angle I prefer to never go to the rail with the cue ball. It starts getting real tough at the 9 ball.

No it doesn't. Line them up on an angle from the corner to above the side and draw the cue ball for every shot. Done it more times than I can count. Sorry to burst your bubble. That is all I have to say.

If you've done it "so many times" - do it now. Record yourself. If you can do it, I'll pay you $100. If I hear excuses, you have obviously never done it.
