Nice shooting Sasha. John and I watched it this morning. Great pace, good patterns, good mechanics. No suprise you are a 100 ball runner. See you in Vegas. Bill

I watched it. I like his style, nice pace, smooth stroke, good patterns, stays in control of the table. Thanks for posting

OK, I added the link to the video in the first post.

This had to be the worst 85 ball run ever. If I don't get anything bigger in the next few days I might post it. Signed Frustrated OK, my big dog never gets a chance to be on video, the little dog gets all the glory. So here is the 85. http://vimeo.com/11168517

Tom For the short time you have been playing straight pool 27 a damn good run. Getting into the third rack of has not been accomplished by a lot of pool players and you are very close to doing it. The bottom line is to have fun, if you have more fun practicing 9 ball than do it. If you want...

Its tough to explain. Its a slight draw shot where you have to alter the natural path of the cue ball so you can avoid collisions and/or hold the cue ball for position.

I remember that sequence. I was going to shoot the 15 because it was the correct shot, but the 11 was obstructing about 1/8 of the pocket, so instead of shooting the 15 into 7/8 of a pocket ( I usually over cut that shot anyway) I went for the safer route. Good observation on using stun instead...

You are so right. About 2 years ago, a typical day would net maybe 1 or 2 runs in the 20 to 30 range with an occasional 50 every couple of weeks. Even though my high run was 97 when I met John, I knew it wasn't a real indication of the way I played. All the stars had just lined up that day...

You hit the nail on the head Steve, I just didn't want to shoot over a ball for the 1 in the side and it was at a slight enough angle that I didn't like where I was going to end up if I just cinched the ball. I thought I could have gotten around the 13 which comes back to my statement that I...

Within the last 15 innings or so I managed to run 64 twice and an 85, the second 64 and the 85 could not have ended any stupider (not sure that is a word). The 64 ended when I didn't hit the ball hard enough to make it to the pocket. You will see how the 85 ended. I'm beginning to think I...

Great article Samm, as always you nailed it. Schmidty did OK too... See you in Vegas.

Nice job Steve, a hundred for you is like a walk in the park but doing it with your new cue is special. Get some pics up.

Good job Bernie, I watched most of the final.

Thanks for the nice words Mike, coming from a player of your caliber means a lot. I have been around straight pool for a long time but I have to contribute my improvement to John, you can't help but get better just by hanging around him. Lucky he likes the same music as we do. lol.

Watching you play I knew you progress quickly, running in the 20's at this stage is excellent. Keep it up. Bill

Great run, it always feel great to do it in a match. Good luck today in the tournament.

Funny you mentioned that, I was thinking the same thing last night.

Good observation, I really figured the cue ball was going to go to the side rail on that breakshot that almost scratched, I was trying to hit it with a half tip of draw but I think I hit it center ball and it stunned down towards the pocket, got lucky. High runs are 120, 111, and 108, this...

The last rack was somewhat of a scramble but I somehow managed to get a marginal breakshot, missed it because I was to focused on hitting the rack in a certain spot instead of making the ball. The first two racks had the Golf Channel in the background then I switched to music, lol...
