Take two weeks off, then quit.Played for 30 minutes and had to quit out of frustration. Never got into the third rack, scratched in three of my first break shots, and couldn’t control my cue ball.

Thanks for nothing.It's tough when reality raises its ugly head. They say what you don't know can't hurt you. Try 'another' game?
topping my best session with 108 in 3 consecutive innings (29,55,25). (55 run starting at 12:10)had the nicest 14.1 training session so far (in my life)
Careful what you wish forDamn man you really put Fatboy on the board at 3 lol
You should be able to realize significant gains by improvement in the following areas.topping my best session with 108 in 3 consecutive innings (29,55,25). (55 run starting at 12:10)
this is how straight pool looks by someone with good pocketing, bad patters
If someone wants to take the time to watch it, I'd appreciate the comments...
I just watched this one. Nice combo bank break shot62...
thank you very much for taking the time to analyse my game. I'll review my run with your comments in mind...You should be able to realize significant gains by improvement in the following areas.
More precise CB control. In particular when manipulating direction off OB's using tip variation on the vertical axis. Of course speed and playing to different parts of the pocket play a role also. You've heard the term "he's playing 9ball straight pool". One characteristic of that is playing "area" position. Now I'm not saying that's what you're doing. If we classify area position as 1 and exact pinpoint position as 10 then I'd say that in general you're most often operating in the 5-8 range. In this game that's hurting you. Getting up in the 7-10 range will reap major benefits. It seems you've got the skills to do it. You have to focus on it and believe in it's importance.
Precise CB direction will also improve your results when going into clusters. I've seen numerous times in your videos where you've broken clusters with less than optimal results. You're aware of when this happens. From my viewpoint it's usually a result of the wrong contact point (sometimes that's a result of a bad angle which may be related to what I described above) or wrong speed or a combination of the two. I'd suggest going back and taking a look at those instances on video. Pause before you shoot the shot and analyze the cluster more closely. I think in most cases you'll see what I saw and realize what went wrong.
I've noticed that a number of times you're still scrambling with only 4-5 balls left. Of course that happens and we try to get through it as best we can. My point is that if you tighten up the areas I mentioned it will greatly reduce the occurrence. Your shot selection and delays in dealing with problems are also contributors but I don't have time right now to get into that. Good luck.
38 here. I think this is my high run, but I can't remember for sure. After I saw the break, I knew I was going to get into the 40s, and I think I jinxed myself. I missed the easiest shot imaginable!
Edit: yes, its my high run by one on a 9'. I had a 37 in 2017. I had a 44 in 2013 on a 7' Diamond.
He obviously needs to borrow a swan neck rest from the snooker table.... Also have a special look to minute 24 - 25 ;-)
