thanks, Steve! these runs are a Lot less ponderous, too. here's a 35 from tonight; 16 minutes, much more like it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4p5NmtwAkI

i've had one for 2 years. it's ok to quickly remove obvious big chalk marks, but it just doesn't compare to what you can do with a hand vac, or a slightly damp microfiber cloth. not worth it, imo.

finally starting to get back in the groove! ran a very clean 40 tonight, 1/20/15. ended because when i had to nudge 2 balls apart i got 2 others tied up with only 4 left on the table. then missed position by a *hair* getting on them with a very long 2-cushion shot to the only spot they could be...

i'm betting your backstroke isn't long enough, causing you to have to produce too much power with a shorter forward stroke. take a look at the length of Efren's or Earl's backstroke; there's a reason they get so much power with little effort.

if you don't want the running cost to eat you alive, check out mini split systems.

i love the way he goes "wow!" after every harsh roll, and i plan to use that behavior as a model; it's way healthier than what i say now.

thank you all for sharing my excitement! the run came as a surprise. i knew i had run a couple of racks, but didn't realize until i played it back later that it was a 52. that was probably a good thing. ;) i can hardly wait to get back at it. unfortunately, i'm also now in my busiest season...

yeah, Steve, but yours doesn't take FOREVER, like mine! seriously, you need to lay in supplies before watching this thing...

52 on video, November 6, 2014. my first 50+ run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q93hrFKSMTw&feature=youtu.be

my first 50+ run, and on video! November 6, 2014. many, many thanks to all who have helped me along the way: David Sapolis, whose videos i feel so fortunate to have found in my first searches on youtube 5 years ago, and which revealed the inner beauty of 14.1 to me. Dan White, who recently...

also notice that you are getting a response from the top dog in the company, and on a Sunday night! the most standup company in pool.

thanks, Bob!!!

it actually Is 6 balls, Michael -- i found a video of Mosconi demoing it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ciT9c80hOY it is still Wicked hard -- i can come very close, but i don't recall doing it perfectly once yet. very helpful drill, even though i can't yet complete it, my draw...

thanks, Bob. did that. wasn't there. maybe browser specific (i'm generally on Safari). i usually am even More paranoid, and copy my text before even trying to post it the first time on this forum, but in this instance was tired and forgot. twice. duh.

ok, this will be shorter than the previous TWO f**king takes that this POS forum s/w gobbled... nothing different. it was clear to me while shooting that the entire difference was from improved position. oddly, though, my potting accuracy was improved as a side effect, because i realized doing...

w00t!!! after a few hours' more drills, took a long break to walk into town to get groceries (my car's subframe just died...), made supper, then came back and ran a Very clean 35+ (i was practicing without thought of runs, don't remember how many there were before the first full rack). got left...

many thanks, Dan! i'm finding both drills very challenging -- and very educational. the first one surprised me in many ways, and i learned more in the first 5 minutes of doing it than i probably have in the past 5 years. i now understand why Steve (sparkle84) was suggesting it to me a while...

Hi Dan -- thank you so much for your comments! some good food for thought there. position play: yes, definitely now my weak point, finally having got shot-making under control. i have to admit to never having done a position drill. ever. guess i should fix that? i've heard of a few classics...

thanks, Mike! you're right about that shot at 0:42 -- i had just tied those 2 balls up 2 shots before, trying to bump the 3 up for a break ball, and then when i got on that 14 i got too excited, thinking "yay, i can fix that Right Now" and didn't even think of anything else but separating them...
