Thanks very much!

Thanks. Sometimes it feels like a 10 footer. The rails are bolted to the slate from the side. There is a nut inside a horizontal hole in the slate.

Thanks for this post through the years. Here's my first entry for 2021 It's a 58 ball run with commentary

Thanks very much.

Thanks. 47 ball run 12/16/2020

Phil Capelle's book "Play Your Best Straight Pool" is a great resource. His chapter on "How To Run a Rack" breaks it down into 3 phases and pattern play. I also suggest watching Youtube runs by John Schmidt. He talks through his thinking on several of them.

Great stuff. Amazing stats! Thanks. I remember Lee Van Cleef. Mustache and the quiet but deadly type. I haven't thought of him in decades.
