hi Bob, The table is lightly tapped, the racks are not totally perfectly tight, but not bad and it does allow me to rack quickly.

Hi Jason, I have run over 200 in practise a few times in the club on a Dynamic II table. My highest in a match is 176, I've not run over 200 on my practise table at home yet though, pockets are super tight and you always end up with some tricky shot that just jaws, I've run 150+ on this table a...

106 Ball Run - Jan 1 2014 Happy New Year die hard 14-1ers. 2014 starts with a bang. I had a quick pop at a high run on my practise table (pockets are super tight). Here's a vid of my first 100+ ball run of 2014. I'll try to get a few more runs up this year, I was a bit slack last year. The run...

the only thing I'd change is to enforce a rule that players from the same group cannot meet each other until the last 8 or so. I also don't understand why seeds 3 and 4 are not in the centre of the draw. But, apart from that I like the system.

58 Ball run with live discussion Continuing the theme that seemed to go down well I added another video of a 58 ball run with discussion through the rack. I hope you find it interesting. Please let me know what you think either way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=028jjk0tQaE

Thanks Stan. I'll see what I can do. I don't have much time these days. I only just got the room finished and new table set up quite recently. So I'm still getting a feel for the table. I plan on making a few more videos like this. Hopefully my memory card won't run out in the middle of the run...

Interesting 52 Ball Run with Discussion I thought I'd have a go at producing a 50 ball run while talking my way through each shot, explaining how I see it. I hope you find this interesting. I'm playing on my home table which is a custom table with super tight pockets made by Thomas Ramsayer of...

I have to agree with you on this! It's as much a matter of taste as anything else, ultimately what you want to try and achieve is maximize your chance of success and minimize your chance of running out of shape and ending up with no shot. The advantage that top pros have is many many many racks...

Dear Gerry, I had a quick look at your video of 43 ball run, only the first link seems to work for me. Here are my observations: 1st Rack: when you split the balls, you had the wrong English on the white for the rail that you hit. you want to try to put the English that will tend to bring the...

127 Ball run Just posted a 127 ball run, 9 tables and got stuck in the stack on the 10th split. tried to play a kick combo but missed the ball I Was trying to hit first... captured it on video. will post a link shortly. Any run over 100 on my table with these super tight pockets feels like a...

hi Denis! yes I'll be there this year. Currently looking for somewhere to stay while I'm there! any ideas?

ok, just popping upstairs to take all the measurements...

I like it! My table works out at 1.24! pretty tough. It's noticeable when trying to make long runs in 14-1. making 100 balls on my table feels like making 500 balls at the club!

Hi guys, here's a link to a video of a 125 ball run I made last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n3Fc9daSQc

IMO the best format is 100% seeded double knockout all the way, like US Open. But seeding should be fair, based upon world ranking for a world event.

btw... which Jeff are you?

thanks! Thanks Jeff, That's very kind of you to say. We've been talking about the system all week and if it would be possible to make it better. The good thing about this system is that everyone gets to play at least 7 matches. Which is a major thing considering the distance we come to play...

World 14.1 Championships: 5 & 2 & out!!! Hey Guys, I haven't posted anything about this until now because I have just been far too devastated for words!!! A couple of days have passed now since I got knocked out of the World 14.1 champs on 5 wins and 2 losses and I guess I'm a bit more able to...

Sigel hasn't played a match yet today. He lost last night to Charlie Williams and Me, so he's 3 and 2, he needs to win his last two to stay in. I can see him wating by the tables for his match, so I guess he's on next up.

ok... here goes... I'd love to post a cuetable.com version, but it's not working for me on my mac. anyway... so I'd play the following: place the white next to the 6 and play 3 down the rail, stop out for 11, then down for 7, up of 2 rails for 12, then stop shots on 6, 8 and 2 to leave 9. I...
