    Career high run

    Thanks everyone. It's been almost 2 1/2 years since I ran 50 (in a league match). I was beginning to think I would never reach the 50s again. It's unfortunate that I didn't have a hanger to get started after that last break shot since I opened the rack up pretty well and would have had shots.

    Career high run

    There were some ugly moments, but I ran a career high run of 57. For some reason the video didn't catch the shot I missed. I missed shooting the 2 ball down the side rail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJot3OY5fB4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    Partner's Straight Pool Chicago this Saturday

    You're right. I did forget to mention Bobby Hunter's 102 ball run. When it was announced, the entire pool hall clapped to acknowledge the great run he had. It was during the first round of matches so I didn't get to see it since I was playing. Way to go Bobby. Dennis, Thursday is good for me...

    Partner's Straight Pool Chicago this Saturday

    Another great experience at Red Shoes! My partner, Jim W. and I won our first match against owner John Lavin and Jerry ? And then lost a nail-biter of a match to Joe and Jim M. We got an early lead on them but at the end Jim M. ran almost two racks that were very difficult to win it with a 27...

    36 ball run

    I've been thinking about new cloth. It's about three years old. There are no tears in the cloth just some worn tracks from 9-ball breaks and center spot drill tracks. But as I said I think the fact that I tapped it for use with the Sardo rack is responsible for some bad spreads. I vacuum it...

    36 ball run

    Thanks again for the insight. I do agree with you that the 4, 7, 14 and your proposed out pattern of 15, 11, 4, 7, 14 reduce the amount of cue travel and focus on precise shape. If the 14 didn't pass the 5, then playing for shape to be straight in or slightly below for the 14 in the side...

    36 ball run

    2nd rack out pattern I was looking at the 2nd rack again and boy I really played a terrible out pattern on the second rack. Around 7:40 when I was playing the 6 to get on the 8 in the side, I got a little above the 8. If I was straight or below, I could have played a stop shot or at least...

    36 ball run

    I was thinking the same thing. I've done Scotch 14.1 before and it is very informative.

    36 ball run

    Thanks for the comments. I agree that I move the cue way too much towards the end of the rack. It's definitely not my intention. I think most of the time it's either like you said poor shot selection early on or poor position. Sometimes I feel that it's my lack of confidence in my pocketing...

    36 ball run

    Thanks for the feedback, Mike. I was hoping to use the 5, 3 or 9 (the ball I ended up using), in that order of preference, for my break ball. In my opinion, the 1, which was below the 3, was too low for a good break ball. My plan was to draw back from the 6 and land straight on the 9 in the...

    36 ball run

    I need to loose some weight. Lol I played for a couple hours really struggling to even get through a rack. So I took a little break and came back to the table and just tried to be more relaxed and not over think anything. When I watch myself in this video, I see some strategic decisions and...

    36 ball run

    Well it wasn't the best played run and my end patterns weren't the best, but I put together a 36 ball run on video after not recording any video for quite a while due to camcorder problems. I recorded this using the Ustream app on my iPhone 3GS. I felt that the shot I missed was the right shot...
