Basically everyone here is saying the same kind of thing -> consider changing your mental approach to the game. That is, if you have good fundamentals, then you're likely suffering a mental "problem" to winning. One easy things to adjust: stop playing to just make balls and start playing to...

No idea why it would be considered a foul. If it was chalk or the bridge, same situation in my mind. -td

Definitely add the center line. It really helps ensure the rack is straight. Also, add a head string line. I always use a carpenter's pencil [or any pencil really]. It comes out much easier than marker. But anything short of a sharpie is going to be a good solution. I put the rack...

I am pretty confident Earl wasn’t suggesting placement pool to win viewers. -td

I've never seen this game played, but I attended a BCA tourney and Earl was explaining this concept to the crowd. As I understand it, placement pool is a game where the balls are placed identically for each frame and the players run out. This eliminates the break, pattern racking and also...

Cool! new leader! Great job! Those free points left definitely hurt, but 91 is tough action to beat. Excellent work. -td

Dangit Fred - always reading the rules and descriptions and whatnot. It's 2020, we're supposed to get offended at everything --> not read the dang ingredients!!! -td [ha!]

I use Manning for just about everything these days. -td

Awesome work!! Great score! It’s awesome so many people are giving this a go! 90 May end up being the winner! That’s tough action right there! It’s been crazy busy around here lately with pool on a back burner. Hope to find some time! Otherwise I hope you can crack this one! -td

Ironic that your user name is also Randy G and you are looking for an instructor. Just sayin' -td [not that RandyG is in PA]

I've had a bit of a break from the challenge and recently switched to a Cynergy. Maybe I'll give it another run and see if I can make it into the 90s with some new CF technology action. -td

Dave - I see you got an 83! On the path to 100!!

The whole day of snooker was awesome! Ronnie's decider was also stellar! -td

Lou doesn't tell the whole truth. This method ONLY works for me in 8-ball. ZERO improvement in my 9-ball game using this. And- if I could grade it LESS THAN ZERO for 9-ball, I would. You have to KNOW how it improves your play to understand which game to use it for. I would strongly recommend...

30-18. Can anyone else see the replay here? https://hotseatbilliards.com/#clip=dw9n1vldxe04&time= (It was live for me) -td

Agreed. I do think 100 is doable for someone. I suspect a number of the top shooters on AZB could get 'er done. But, as you noted, those last 2 levels can be pretty deflating. One cluster on an early ball and *poof* - an hour of great shooting down the drain! Lucky for me, I falter much...

Gotcha. I did go back and review the rules but I totally missed that rotation note. Thanks! So - 89 it is! And 7 of the missing balls were easily makeable. Missing 4 on the 6 ball rack was brutal. -td

I wasn't happy with my 70s and I really thought I could do better. I buckled down tonight and my run started off well. [Note1: I had a little mental lapse and ran Level 5 twice (both successfully)]. My first big mistake was on Level 10 [6 ball] where I left 4 balls on the table. :( And...

I gave it another run tonight. I can tell that I've been out of pool practice for a long time. The pressure started to get to me on relatively easy shots and I ended up only getting a 71. I dogged a number of shots that I feel like I'm a lock to make and it cost me around 15 points overall...

Rules state scratch on the break doesn't penalize that level (bullet 3): "There is no penalty for a scratch on the break, and balls pocketed on the break remain down (except for the 8 in 8-ball-rules racks, where you spot it or re-rack)") Also, bullet 9 indicates: "Use standard WPA rules." For...
