    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Ran a 43 this morning, better than a 34 lol. Focus was on a consistent shooting routine on every shot. 3 strokes getting down, 2 looking at the CB, pause and shoot. 43 Ball Run Purchased a camera mount, wireless microphone and a score keeper to improve your viewing experience 😁.

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Life! Got a 11 year old and 5 year old daughters and a beautiful wife that demands my attention lol. But did buy another table and am getting back into it lol. It's good to see the forum still going and it's matured a bit.

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Thanks for the feedback. I went with the 5 because it had a better keyball. My real issue is the balls not opening up. I think I need to chip at the edges of the clusters more.

    AZB main page articles

    Wondering if anyone feels this way: The main page articles are almost exclusively pro international events and some national events. Honestly those articles are way less interesting to me then the amateur events. The OKC event with the huge payouts should be a front-page article. Am I wrong...

    Request some input on a race length and how to add money to sweeten the pot

    Mitch, I guess we could do that. Maybe set an alarm on a phone, when it goes off that will be the last rack? Maybe have a win by 2 criteria as well?

    Request some input on a race length and how to add money to sweeten the pot

    A local player who is about 650 FG and I (670FG) are trying to play a long set of either 9 ball or 10 ball on a bar table. I want to play for about a 3-hour time period so I am trying to guess what the appropriate race length should be. As a metric for comparison, I played the ghost on the...

    Phil, i was in a match with a friend and i scratched but recorded a missed ball instead. I made the mistake of hitting the back button on my android phone when I should have selected undo last action and it took me out of the "workout" i was in to the main menu. Well all the data collected in...

    14.1 Hail Mary Shots

    I really enjoyed that video. Got me thinking how to get onto a wired ball in the rack. Often i will find one but can't get to it from the proper angle/direction. Thanks for posting.

    How to improve with only 30 minutes a day?

    This is exactly what Bert Kinister had me doing, table length stop shots from corner to opposite corner. Not just any stop shot, but perfectly replace the object ball with the cue Ball in a paper donut. I used to shoot this shot 100 times a day when I had my own table, and maybe hit it perfect 3...

    What's up with Rodney Morris?

    Truth. Meeting Earl changed my ambitions of being a pro. I still love playing but it's about #10 in my priorities. Thank God.

    I agree completely and wonder which stats are having a greater impact than runouts.
