2016 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

[Str8PoolMan]

High Run of 16

16 is the best I have managed so far (all in practice).

My goal for the year is to reach 42. That would be 3 racks. I have two main issues: 1) break shots - can't seem to make them consistently, 2) losing focus for several consecutive innings causing inconsistent run totals.

68 balls total. thanks

 

[jeagle64]

Hi jeagle64...how many balls was this run?

68 this time, thanks!

Man, Marop, 1 shy of 100!

Please update my high run for the year to 30 (ended on a scratch) on 03/12/2016 against 9BallJim. This was a league match and we were both undefeated in league.

The full video of the match is here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UeGgs4w6WKs

Some notes I made:
39:00 - 45:45 -> 16 ball run by Jim
48:30 - 57:11 -> 22 ball run by Viet My
01:15:12 -> Nice break ball creation by Jim
01:24:15 - 01:35:23 -> 30 ball run by Viet My

Wow, nice run. You already had the high run, but now you got some breathing room.

Finally managed to get some straight pool time! Played for a couple of hours and managed to run 68 and got stuck to a ball after being forced to shoot jacked up. Feels good despite the ending. Feeling the first century coming!
