    2013 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    hi Bob, The table is lightly tapped, the racks are not totally perfectly tight, but not bad and it does allow me to rack quickly.

    2013 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Hi Jason, I have run over 200 in practise a few times in the club on a Dynamic II table. My highest in a match is 176, I've not run over 200 on my practise table at home yet though, pockets are super tight and you always end up with some tricky shot that just jaws, I've run 150+ on this table a...

    106 Ball Run - Jan 1 2014 Happy New Year die hard 14-1ers. 2014 starts with a bang. I had a quick pop at a high run on my practise table (pockets are super tight). Here's a vid of my first 100+ ball run of 2014. I'll try to get a few more runs up this year, I was a bit slack last year. The run...

    World 14.1 Final 24 Players

    the only thing I'd change is to enforce a rule that players from the same group cannot meet each other until the last 8 or so. I also don't understand why seeds 3 and 4 are not in the centre of the draw. But, apart from that I like the system.

    58 Ball run with live discussion Continuing the theme that seemed to go down well I added another video of a 58 ball run with discussion through the rack. I hope you find it interesting. Please let me know what you think either way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=028jjk0tQaE

    2013 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Thanks Stan. I'll see what I can do. I don't have much time these days. I only just got the room finished and new table set up quite recently. So I'm still getting a feel for the table. I plan on making a few more videos like this. Hopefully my memory card won't run out in the middle of the run...

    Interesting 52 Ball Run with Discussion I thought I'd have a go at producing a 50 ball run while talking my way through each shot, explaining how I see it. I hope you find this interesting. I'm playing on my home table which is a custom table with super tight pockets made by Thomas Ramsayer of...

    Need some 14.1 Advice

    I have to agree with you on this! It's as much a matter of taste as anything else, ultimately what you want to try and achieve is maximize your chance of success and minimize your chance of running out of shape and ending up with no shot. The advantage that top pros have is many many many racks...

    Need some 14.1 Advice

    Dear Gerry, I had a quick look at your video of 43 ball run, only the first link seems to work for me. Here are my observations: 1st Rack: when you split the balls, you had the wrong English on the white for the rail that you hit. you want to try to put the English that will tend to bring the...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    I like it! My table works out at 1.24! pretty tough. It's noticeable when trying to make long runs in 14-1. making 100 balls on my table feels like making 500 balls at the club!

    5 and 2 and out!!!

    IMO the best format is 100% seeded double knockout all the way, like US Open. But seeding should be fair, based upon world ranking for a world event.
