Those all sound like great drills. I have tried all of them except your breaking drill and 3-ball drill. Those sound pretty tough. A drill I learned from one of Blackjack's videos and altered a bit is the straight pool ghost game. As with some of the drills you mentioned, this can be...

My airfare is booked. I'll be there.

Nice 39-ball run. I thought for sure you were going to keep going. You made some great shots and played at a nice pace.

I just watched your run. Very nice. I love your pace.

Couldn't let me enjoy the first spot a little longer. Lol. Nice run, Bill.

Please put me down for a 60 ball run on January 16. http://youtu.be/ulN1rBB6AWA

Thanks for maintaining this sticky thread for the 14.1 community.

I'm sure others will have different and or better guidelines, but this is what I do for conventional, side of rack, break shots: 1) If the cue ball is closer to the side rail than the break ball, I use follow. I stroke it enough so that after hitting the pack, the cue bends forward and rebounds...

I thought the same thing too. Don't tease us like that, Dennis.

Good job on the 106 and the 92!

Correct spelling is Colling. It's a common mistake. Thanks.

Nice run.! Did you get it on video?

So how often do you play straight pool competitively? I, too, love to watch Ortmann and Schmidt play. They play at a pace that is incredible for the precise position they achieve.

No idea about the thumping noise. It's only noticeable when recording in a perfectly quiet room and when playing back the video with moderate to loud volumes. I would think you can use the suction cup with the "frame" enclosure. The mounts appear to all be the same and should work together...

Congrats on your run of 197! That's incredible. As for the GoPro Hero, I bought one just recently. I bought the Hero 4 Silver for $400 to use specifically for recording runs. Unfortunately, I have some concerns. 1) The video quality is fine but the audio contains a constant thumping sound in...

Lol, "...barefoot 70." Thanks for the kind words. I originally gave the ghost the remaining balls plus 14 and saw very soon that was too difficult for my skill level. I started playing 14.1 in 2008 and joined the only 14.1 league in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that I knew of. So really the only...

I also play the straight pool ghost. I first saw it done by Blackjack. I believe he was giving the ghost 42 on a miss. I can't compete with that so I give the ghost the rest of the balls on the table plus 7. This is about the only thing I do now. I average beating this ghost roughly once a month...

With you beating Ed a few times, I should be ducking from you.

I'm really looking forward to coming up for the qualifier. Red Shoes is an awesome pool room.
