Jack, did you ever get your 100 ball run, or was that as close as you got? I was at the verge as well with a 98 ball (7 complete racks) run with a textbook break shot, which I made, but a ball knocked the cue ball in to the side pocket. That was over 20 year ago, and I've never been able to get within 1 rack of 100 since then - oh well.
Dean ran 56 balls with

56 with any size pockets is a nice run.
Good shooting.
Good shooting.
Yes, but
ChrisinNC,
It took me a little while but I started playing it a lot with two very good friends and great
straight pool players Dick Lane and Bob Vanover. High run on my GC 157,
high run in game 97 and out playing Bob Vanover. When I got close to 100 at home
I locked the door to my game room so my wife couldn't come in and shark me AGAIN.

Bring the new toy to the DCC and play an old friend of mine...old being 40 years older than me...haha. He couldnt play dead in a cheap western anymore so yall would be perfect together. Get big truck or whoever it is upstairs in the pay to stand and watch area to put it on the tv table. Probably be bigger than Frost vs Alex. Bring two cues in case I cant force him to play and let me borrow one and ill play some...never know, ya might hit the jackpot
I think a lot of people take the fun out of playing
Dean, I think you are talking about what a lot of people do and don't talk about. They get a home table set up with tight or super tight pockets and they are going to conquer the world when they go out and play. Instead, the cover stays on the pool table and the wife decides it is really nice to fold clothes on.
They may not even realize that they are using the home table less and less because they don't enjoy it anymore. The very tightest I would set up a home table is as tight as I compete on. Since I am not competing, 4-3/4" and 5-1/4" sounds pretty good to me. I can bank on that, I can play shape on that. I can enjoy playing pool not as you say turning it into an every shot a tough challenge game. If I want to do that I will get a russian pyramid table.

Jack was a lot better player than 100 balls tells you.
At least he was when he was young and needed the money
ihave seen him beat some great road player when he had every
cent he owned on the game
I always thought he would grow up and beat Billy.I was wrong on 3 counts
1. He never grew
2..He never grew up
and 3. He never beat Billy

If anyone tells you it doesn’t mean as much because of 5” pockets, tell them to go jump in a lake. Great run!
Custom cue?
Nah, production.
Turns out it was actually a worker at the Schmelke factory who made 56 balls but he decided that's really not relevant information we needed.
Sent from the future.
Niiiiiiiiiice one.
Ex-employee.
He was fired for attempting to apply this logo in place of the Schmelke logo delete.
