    Tough enough to beat own personal best scores :cool: This quote from Bruce Lee motivates me, putting same balls in same position for 1000th time on the table :)

    actual run starts at minute 5, but I figured, the footage before is also entertaining. pocketing highlights in layouts started at min 21 and 39.

    finished recording a fun PPC try 🙈 bad scoring (since less than 3 digits) and bad position but some very nice and funny pocketing :) No missed balls for 20 racks and 115 balls. Should be fun to watch. (Tomorrow is my last day in April to try a perfect 100. Will be busy for the rest of the...

    I was a little cruel to my ghost. Hope I can still get action from his ghost buddies in the future. Started with 10 ahead and extended to 15 ahead after one of my favorite songs started playing on the radio. After trailing 2-1 initially Ghost lost 14 games in a row for a final score of 16-1.

    doesn't always has to be either-or. Practicing drills and fixed 9-Ball runouts is possible against a ghost also, but has the benefit that you train and improve the layouts and positions, that give you most difficulties instead of relying on a good run and easy layouts to win your ghost match...

    What is the best pool table?

    regular Gold Crown tables play a little to easy, modified Gold Crown with a 4 1/2 or 4 1/4 inch pockets are the best tables in my opinion. With a Diamond I would modify it to get Brunswick Cushions. I'm a little biased though, since I own a Gold Crown :)

    There is no such thing as talent or innate ability. Just the amount of deliberate practice someone puts in and his mindset (fixed or growth). This is something the studies of Anders Ericsson have shown and is demonstrated by peak athletes all over the world. The studies are mentioned in great...

    you make it sound like something bad :( acutally, this is exactly my motivation. I spend hundreds of hours of training alone at the table for a remote chance to fight my way to the top of some list of some forum to get my score in pink. I find it exceptionally interesting, that something silly...

    I can remove my video from Youtube and you are free to get rich from selling the BU Instructional Video series. (You even earned something from me last August, since I wanted some tips on higher scoring in Exam I and bought some dvd from Vimeo). But your pink M:73 should either be removed, when...

    your record is legit, no doubt about it. You have just outgrown it (now that you have other records and a Doctorate with Honors Diploma). Records should be allowed to be broken. And with every regularar record it is. But with your M:73 if I beat the record I shouldn't be playing it in first...

    no problem :) but perhaps you should remove this ^^ entry then from the first post. For someone with a Doctorate with Honors Diploma still holding the Masters Exam II Record in pink? Your M:73 is very impressive and very hard to beat. And the video is definitely helpful for everybody, who...

    thought it was kinda sad, that for years the available (highscore) video at Bachelors level was 38. Tried to get perfect score, but obviously it's a little harder than one might think :) the runouts from Bachelors and Masters level are tougher, than Doctorate level. Wanted to test, if I am...
