54 Ball Run. It is 41 minutes though, so you know in advance. I wish I saw the table better, but I don't. First rack I intentionally went faster and I guess I could try that and then the 1st rack would be faster at least. I am paying attention to moving the chalk.

I liked elkmaster for the longest time. They were the softest tip to my knowledge. I tried a lot of other tips, but once I tried the Zan, I haven't gone back. Less maintenance and same feel as the Elkmaster, but even a little better. I still have a box of Elkmasters.

Again, templates are new. I played this game growing up and places I was stationed. Returned to it after I retired and no 9 ft tables around. I don't know if I will play faster. I tried it at times and I don't focus that way very well and miss easy shots. I would love to play better faster...

Ok. Thanks. I didn't know it was a rule. Donuts to me at least are a new thing. They make sense to me. I will use an outline of a regular rack next time I get my table redone, or maybe before then. I am just not sure about erasing a line or adding another one.

I do have an outline. Maybe you can't see it. There is a pencil outline rack. It was out of the rack. That wasn't a question. I even say that in the video. I just wasn't sure I could make it. Using a template, just because it is outside the rack, doesn't mean you can make it hitting it...

Only 42 balls, but interested in takes on the ending. Did I hit the 8 first? I did not expect to scratch. I guess if you are hitting the top of the rack, never hit below center? What a brutal ending.

The ending was wild

Really think I am on to something here. Using an open bridge more and getting down to where my chin hits my stick. I think I see the shot line better this way. Played well 3 days in a row using this.

56 Ball run. Shooting more shots with an open bridge. I think if I don't need to hit it very hard, I see it better.

That is the great thing about the game though. Set goals. Go for 25, then go for 50, etc. And, if you are shooting mostly easy shots, very doable. My advice is to watch straight pool, especially old school, and see how they nudge balls. Don't try to blast the balls.

Hard to tell angles, but I wouldn't go into the balls without hitting low. That is why I questioned possibly just playing position and using a level cue. I hit the point though, so not like I missed by much.

I don't think so. I just record most of the time. I just only post if I run like 50. I don't record when I have say only an hour to spare. I think through things a bit better when not recording I think though.

I love it. You learn so much. Only game you can play by yourself and you have a way to show you are improving; the higher the run, or even better your average run, the better you are getting. You can establish goals, like run 25 and then run 50 and maybe eventually 100, etc. Those goals kept...

Congrats on joining the 100 club. Always was my goal too. Only done it twice. I will watch your video later. Brian

Seems smart. Chase that dream. She reminds me of another girl from the past; Kara Wroldson. She was a phenom in the 90s. She went on to college and got some finance job making like $100K a year or so I heard. Sofia has pool to fall back on if it doesn't work out.
