    Can anyone run 100 with enough practice?

    Dennis will have all the numbers but here a few off the top of my head. Harriman, 36 attempts no runs over 100. Appleton, 24 attempts 1 over 100. Alex, 12 attempts 1 over 100. Orcollo 40 attempts 2 over 100. Niels, 12 attempts 1 over 100. Ralf, 12 attempts 1 over 100. Schmidt 29 attempts 6...

    Which break ball position do you prefer?

    Angle does not appear to be the reason. I've seen a lot more scratches when the cue ball is close to the rack no matter what angle. Orcollo had the same break ball at 98 last week with about a 70 degree angle, the cue ball almost beat the object ball to the pocket. Throughout the DCC there...

    Mika posted the 156 on day 4. Up until then the main guys were happy with what they had run. John purchased another 12 tries to try to beat Mika, he ran 144 on the 8th attempt, it was late and he had a 9:30 AM nine ball match so he called it quits. Johnny didn't get there until Tuesday and was...

    Can anyone run 100 with enough practice?

    This statistic isn't as surprising as you may think. John Schmidt has run 100 over a 1000 times, over 200 89 times and over 400 2 times. I believe Steve Lipsky has run over 100 a few hundred times but only over 200 one time. How many people have run 2 racks but have never been close to 50...

    Can anyone run 100 with enough practice?

    Can anyone run a 100 with enough practice? NO. Can you run a 100 with enough practice? Maybe. You have had runs that get into the third rack which says you are doing some things right. However going from running 50 to a 100 is a lot more difficult than it sounds. I practice a couple of hours a...

    Derby City Straight Pool Challenge 2012

    If my calculations are correct, Darren won $3,800 and Alex won $2000 for a $100 entry fee. It's no wonder these guys love this event.

    Corey just ran 194, barely missed a ball in the side leaving perfect position for another key ball - break ball. Almost another 200. -Bill

    Corey runs 229 at Marop's house

    All you got to do is feed them a couple of times a day :grin: I might get Schmidty and Corey playing a game to 300 on video in a few days. They can't decide between music and TV. Corey wants the golf channel on and John wants 60's music. What do you guys think? Bill

    Video of Corey Deuel running 229 in Straight Pool

    He's looking for sponsorship. He can't be fully committed on his own dime.

    what is the ideal pace in 14.1?

    Most players with numerous high runs play at a fairly quick pace, especially the old timers. Schmidt and Ortmann play at a brisk pace. I have numerous runs of Schmidt on video and he runs 100 at an average of 22 minutes which includes racking, that is an average of about 13 to 14 seconds per...

    Corey runs 229 at Marop's house

    Corey has been in town for a couple of weeks. We have been playing golf in the daytime and a little pool at night. Last night he had a nice run of 229. Enjoy http://vimeo.com/34132936 Mr. Lipsky, you can add Corey to the list...

    91

    Rain today so no golf. :( The last few evenings I have had numerous runs in the 40's and 50's but couldn't break through with a big number. Today I played pool instead of golf and ran 91. Maybe I play better in the day rather than the night, LOL Sorry no music, I was watching the golf...
