I don't call this stuff physics or geometry. I call it "the way the balls work". I remember when you 1st became active here and were struggling and asking a lot of questions. Now 5-6 years later, through help from here and from figuring things out yourself on the table, you're starting ( I...

She on the other hand, hasn't missed a beat

Not sure how you can ascertain what I know or don't know. As to what Bob implied, we'll have to await his input, if he chooses to voice it. I'm not referring to the run as legit or anything else. Haven't watched any of these big runs and probably never will. I have seen snippets of both Shaws...

Note that 160x 5 is 800. So even with 5 fouls he still had a 160 run in there. The top 3 he refers to is in this thread. Pretty obvious if one pays attention. As you're pals with Shaw, who has had some atrocious displays of poor sportsmanship over the years. Just saying.

Gotta luv it.

That's ok. Just means you'll continue to run 20-30 balls.

If you want to improve you need to slow down and think. Pool isn't like riding a skateboard.

People should frame this and put it on the wall next to their table.

It's all a matter of what kind of player you want to be. What you're espousing above is the typical attitude of league players and life long B/C players. Better? It's only better if you're satisfied with being mediocore. So I suppose you're right, most people are unwilling to put in the...

Several dozens? Seriously doubt you've played much straight pool.

I think the other people were Earl, SVB and Ruslan. None of them spent much time at it. BC has said a lot of things about what he's doing (or wants to do) about this challenge thing. Very little (other than Shaw) has ever materialized. As far as a prize being offered, no dollar amount was ever...

Yeah, I'd love to see Kristina do it. She's a superb straight pool player. I'm still hoping also, but given his history don't see it happening.

Him, maybe. Others, unlikely despite all the past hype.

You need to get with a qualified instructor ASAP .... then listen to what he tells you.
