    Derby City Classic - What ball set to be used?

    I figured they would use the tournament set. I was mostly wanting to find out which cue ball. I am guessing either the black logo or the black measles ball?

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVF6LtJk9Ns I enjoy hearing Earl do commentary. There are several amusing statements during this match by The Pearl.

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    I reached my goal of a hundred ball run tonight in my practice session! I ran 111 on a 7 ft diamond. Ball number 100 was a tough cut into the side pocket at a tough angle. I am one happy pool player tonight!

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    I ran a new personal best 98 balls this evening on a 7 foot diamond! I am mentally beat down because of how close I came to my goal of 100. I will eventually get there. I am even more determined after my close call....

    Bar Box monsters

    Glen Atwell was tough for anyone to beat on a bar table at one time. John Hennessee was another one who could beat anyone on the small track. Chad Vilmont was a handful for anyone as well. In my area nearly all the regional tournaments are on 7 foot tables. I have been lucky enough to see...

    14.1 High Runs at on a 7’ Table vs a 9’ Table

    Actually I do not think 60 is old. I also said I think you could be good enough to run a hundred until AT LEAST 60. I know of several pro's who have run over a hundred in their 80's. I should have written that if you have never had a hundred ball run in 14.1 it would be very hard to...

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    I ran 85 balls today on a 7 foot diamond. That is the second highest total ever for me. I missed shooting at a pocket that had a ball right near it. I thought I had a "big" pocket. The object ball double kissed the "helper" ball and missed. I could have shot a different ball as the rack was...

    14.1 High Runs at on a 7’ Table vs a 9’ Table

    So which accomplishment in your view is more difficult? Running 100 balls once, or running 50 or more one hundred times? Perhaps this should be its own thread. I do not mean to get off topic. I am 42 years old. I think you can play good enough to be a threat to run one hundred until at...

    14.1 High Runs at on a 7’ Table vs a 9’ Table

    I have been trying on a small table for several months. I am frustrated that I have not got to 100 yet. My rotation game has suffered a bit. Making my goals public was meant to be a kick in the rear to motivate me. I had a ever so close 94 back in early November. Local Covid restrictions...

    14.1 High Runs at on a 7’ Table vs a 9’ Table

    I agree with everything you have said here. I was not sure if I wanted to post my runs on the 7 ft table on the yearly high run thread or not. I was not sure that they would even be accepted. The main reason I did was to motivate myself to get to 100 on the small table. When that milestone...

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    I ran a 71 today. I felt a little more confident as the run progressed. I was left with cue ball frozen on the head rail with two options, a tough billiard and a off angle combo. I shot the billiard and missed.

    Any pro player had to finish with broken cue?

    I remember a few years back at the derby, a well known player wacked his stick on the table after a mistake and broke it. He just calmly walked out to the vendor area and returned in a minute or two with another cue and continued his match. That is putting your one break per match to good use...

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Running 100 on a 9-footer is the goal for me. I look at running 100 on a 7-footer as a stepping stone to help break the mental barrier. Good luck to you. I hope you get there.

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    I ran a 57 yesterday. On a 7ft diamond. I got stuck in the rack after a breakshot. Frustrating, I am sure you all understand.

    SLOW BACK SWING

    I got to try this drill today. I will be doing it before starting my practice sessions in the future. It really helps you to feel a better rhythm for the stroke.

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    I play on a 10 ft antique brunswick and a 9ft diamond with 4 and 3/8th as well. My runs are not as impressive. I have a personal high run of 52 on the 10 ft table and 67 on the 9 ft diamond. I just have easier access to the 7 ft table. I just played for two hours on the 9 ft diamond today...

    2021 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    In a three hour practice session today I had four runs in the 50's. A 51, 52, 55, and 56! On a 7' diamond. I am determined to get to 100 this year.
