42 today. I may post the video later. Typically just do that on runs of 50 or more, but I was pretty proud of how I kept it going and I know I played one not typical breakshot. I am going save it I think and watch it, so may post it.

I personally like Mike Sigel commentating on straight pool matches. He provides good insight.

71 Ball Run. I think I played the last keyball right and just did not hit it hard enough, but if there was a better way, please share. I thought it was too straight to go 1 rail.

Ran 55 yesterday. I really don't understand this foul talk in this forum, because the rules on this thread say cueball fouls only. I would like to see more posts about runs, critiques, etc. Thanks. Brian

51 Ball run on my recovered and more importantly, repainted table. Looks so much better now.

So, back in 2000, you can see this in this video. It happened. Efren did, what Johnny thought Wiktor did. 56 minutes. Efren -15 and Dallas elected to have Efren break again. I saw another video from 2021 or 2022, where Darren was not allowed to continue shooting when Corey got an...

Anybody met Zielenski? I did. Not a fan. Not sociable at all. I saw him and talked briefly at the International Straight Pool tournament in 2024. I also talked to other fans about him, since he gave me the cold shoulder and they said the same thing. I don't ask for autographs and hardly...

Great analysis. Happy to see so many examples. I don't know why so many people are saying that Yapp knew it was a foul. He has the look of I know that was close so waiting to hear. He probably thought it was a foul but not for him to decide. Hard to see everything. I played a delicate kick...

So, is there a paint code for the Gold Crown V11 White Table? I want to paint my Gold Crown I, but I am not sure I want the old paint codes. I want to paint it white, like this pic. Any advice on how to do that? Is this the original paint code for Gold Crown's do you think?

Hope this spurs more interest. Is the International Straight Pool going to happen this year?

I am not sure what happened but I personally asked Kristina Tkach a few years ago about if she was going to make attempts and she said she was. Still hoping

Why do you say that? Yes, I keep waiting for more to try

84 Ball Run. I do recommend using a weight for the shaft with rail shots. I think I made two of those because of the weight. I messed up at the end. I did not want to use that ball as a key ball, but didn't see how to avoid it, and then of course I hit it way to tentative. I should have...

56 Ball Run. Too straight at the end.

Nothing special here, but best run of 2026 so far. 48. I was in a lot of trouble. It wasn't very clean and not how you should play. I did adapt pretty well.
