I think its good to set goals in general, maybe just the quiting part is a bit silly. As I kid I used to not let myself go home until I'd made certain breaks at Snooker, I recall some late angry evenings lol! I thnik ten weeks is a decent time if you've already done 80+, just don't quite if you...

Wicked, just let me know in advance so I can time my vacation to coincide! :grin: Just kidding mate, in London now so no worries, hoping to play straight pool again this year so might have to borrow some of that knowledge of yours again! It will be a cheap vacation that's for sure, under...

Are you sure that wasn't a 41? :grin:

You raise a good point there, I think the only way would be to start with the two balls and then run 7 racks, and this is probably still impossible. I think my video shows 50 in 5mins is possible as I wasted a bit of time, Im so unfit, and I racked my own. Keeping that up for ten mins, I don't...

Id be interested t see if he was including racking time? I think when I tried it a few times I had 45 in other 5 mins but I thought 50 in 5 minutes was possible - 100 in ten certainly wasn't possible for me, unless paramedics where on hand! :) I think somebody mentioned Salvas had 150 and out...

I think mjantti knows I haven't a clue how the Euro scoring system works as I had to let him score keep when we played! :) I only ever count the number of balls made per rack when trying for a high run, so yes as Steve assumed I made 5 balls that rack. SJM, long time no speak I hope you're...

didn't mean to cause so much confusion! :) But with regards to this list pretty sure it's 100, interesting points though. Basically I ran 100 balls and fouled on 101st which doesn't count.

Thanks for letting me off the hook Alinco! :) I'll try and edit the other lists soon and link them all together again. JS and Mr Lipsky, I hate you both! :eek: :)

Ha thanks for all the comments! :) I'm pretty sure it was 100 though, I started with 5 balls then ran 6 full racks = 89 (6 * 14 = 84). In the last rack I made 12 balls but because I scratched on last ball it was only 11. Therefore 100 :)

I hadn't played for 6 days due to illness and NYE but had another hit yesterday. I borrowed the usual cue or so I thought and ran 50 something first visit before missing. I carried on and ran 5+ 6 racks before scratching after making a ball and breaking up a small cluster of 2. There was 3 balls...

List updated but could be a few mistakes. I've added one video link but if there are any others please let me know? Given my lack of time on the forum this year and playing pool in general it might be time to hand over the reigns to a more active poster. I think its been going for 3 years now...

Hey cheers mjantti, It was great to hit the ball again after 18 months even though I think we were going up in 1's for a while there lol. You also forgot to mention you won, congrats! ;) Goa was cancelled so in Thailand now and playing again woohoo! Borrowed a mates cute, had a few 40's...

I think lets say as long as the run starts in 2008 we'll let you have it! :) PS I might have a few hours in Helsinki on Dec 19th, not sure yet but might have time for a game of 14.1 if you know any good pool halls? I have a flight at 8pm to Mumbai (yes I know!!!)

Just popped in... Hi sorry been slack still, won't bore you all with reasons but they are realy, I can't even spell ploo anymore its been so long! Anyway Steves fantastic 200+ run enticed me back as it certainly needed to be on the list! I have updated the list with all runs on the last page...

Appleton won the World 10 Ball and DCC Straight Pool plus strong finishes in US Open, world 8 ball and Euro Tour events. Niels also won the world straigh pool of course. Not sure about Busta but Mika and Ralph for sure.

Hi guys (and gals), Thanks for all the replies but for some reason this doesnt feel right, as generous as it is! I recently bought a flat in London, this may has made me temp cash poor but I feel I'm still in a fairly comfortable positon financially. My aim wasn't for the kind people of AZ to...

Thanks mate, I'm still waiting fora reply from work also. Had some questions regarding what was required, I guess I was looking for around $1500 for entry and hotel, any winnings would of course go 1st to cover backers losses and split any profits. Cheers for questions

Hi, I just found out that I've been invited to the World Straight Pool Championships again. The bad news is the late notice means a) I am struggling to get time of work and b) I've just moved into a new place in London so it's not a great time financially! :( Why sponsor me? There are six...

WOW, great runs Steve, list updated! :thumbup:

Oops he did send me too but I missed it, did it quickly at work! Sorry Nick
