That olhausen ball set are really nice.
I've not been able to watch any of it so far but, I can assure you that it's a ton of pressure on him. That is a HUGE gun to be under........
My money says anyone folds under it.
He's got my respect!
Good points. When Willie did it he was just playing. There was no record to shoot for, therefore no pressure. it was just another exhibition to him.

He had the 2nd best run on Monday, a 216. It's possible he made another 200+ run that day (under 216), but I am not aware of it. He did not hit 200 on any of the other days.

That's been my stand with a few of my friends on here.
Take me for example:
I play 10 ball ghost and beat the everlasting hell out of him....at home, nobody watching, no "big" money bet. If I lose, lol....I lose $20 or so. It dont matter either way.
When I go out in public and play ghost or strong players.....lol.....I dont beat the everlasting hell out of nobody. I do good to win.
That's pressure folks....I can play with ANYONE without it but can't beat ANYONE with it.
Now, Willie, LOL.....OMG.....was a freaking BEAST on his WORST days so, how much pressure was he under on exhibitions?
Lots of folks can say how much pressure he had to run balls.......none at all.
Where was his pressure? It was the grind of the road and "having" to show up to make a paycheck.
That was pressure but it was pressure just to "show up".....not perform at his peak on demand.

He's almost about to hit 200 in the current run.
Oops, he just had a massive brain fart or skid on an easy ball. Run over.

Probably a day off would be good just to refresh and go at it again. Is that allowed with this set up?
The schedule at Bull Shooters is to shoot five days per week. In Monterey John took time off as he wanted.
Great. Thanks for the info. To me it seems like he has started to press more as the days go on. Body language... however I am only watching bits and pieces of it.
There is another thing John does well.
When John was in the tri-cities WA. He gave lessons to several players. They all improved noticeably. :thumbup:

That's a first. I never saw ANYONE improve noticably off a lesson or 2 other than a complete newbie.
I guess I have a different perspective than you do. Nearly every student I have seen improved at least one part of their game in a single lesson. But I think the most important thing a lesson should do is to set out a path for the student towards further improvement on their own. They should be learn a general method of improvement and not a few "secrets".
Agree on the last 2 sentences. Oh and for sure some 'secrets' like the 'crack shot' can be immediate help- I have actually seen a pro hit the wrong side of the ball once on a crack shot you couldnt miss if you hit the right side- Was astounded as at least 80% of amateurs know that one-I think.
