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

    Just noticed that my table got a little easier in the meantime. I was a little too tough to run big numbers in straight pool so I built it back to 4 1/2'' pockets. (And succeeded last month running my first hundred.)

    Here Darren Appleton plays a drill quite similar to the Draw Shot Challenge scoring a strong 56% (in the comments someone mentions the similarity to the Dr. Dave's Drill) Just to get an idea for the difficulty of the drill

    My first-ever 100-ball run in straight pool, with shot-by-shot commentary

    I wanted to stay close to Grady's typical way of explaining things, but I have to admit I had to look up "fraught with peril" first. It wasn't exactly part of my active vocabulary before this, so unfortunately it didn't make it into the video. Maybe in the next one. :)
