    Observation on the 14:1 straight pool challenge

    If there is a way to make money from it then it will happen and if it does I need weight.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    Thanks again for Bobby for doing this and to Shaw for participating. It really shows the difference between average players and pros. I'd be thrilled with a 200 ball run and these guys seem almost disappointed.

    Flooring options?

    I use laminated flooring and rubber mats around the table so my feet don't get tired. The laminated stuff is resistant to water and not hard to install if you can operate a circular saw and a tape measure.

    Observation on the 14:1 straight pool challenge

    I agree and I've heard Danny Diliberto say the same thing. People want to see high runs in 14.1. They don't want the pros to look like bangers.

    I like that event because of the ban on jump cues which gives a guy like Earl an advantage because of his kicking expertise.

    Question for people familiar with Filipino pool

    I think those conditions are a reason the Filipinos are so tough in action. They learn to shut out all the external stuff.

    Straight Pool Rack / Pack bank shots

    I noticed when Earl was making his attempts he got below the rack and instead of trying the corner ball cross side he just raked the balls and started over. He doesn't end up like that often enough to know the shot.

    Question for people familiar with Filipino pool

    I'm going to play recorded chicken sounds when I'm playing to see if I play like Efren. Maybe that's his secret.

    Question for people familiar with Filipino pool

    On the chalkboard it says "mesa & and spotter 15%". Mesa means table. Who is the spotter? Is that the guy racking and marking the table when they shoot over a ball? 15% of what?
