4 complete racks is strong 14.1 shooting on any size pockets! It requires setting up three high percentage break shots, making them as well as managing to leave yourself a good shot to keep the run going, and navigating your way to clear the entire table 4 times! Sounds like 100 could be a realistic goal!

100 was my lifetime goal,but 56 is possibly the best i will ever get
i seldom get more than a few balls from the break shot
this was the best i had ever shot and a few decent rolls
it has been my experience that straight pool is a game
where the cue ball rolls into unlucky places more often than not
about 2 weeks ago i ran 42,up till then 28 was as far as i had gotten lately

Congrats on the run!
Seriously though, congrats! You've topped 99.999% of the world
Now onto the important question, what cue, amd do you have pics?
Almost forgot, how much
Are you sure :grin:
Congratulations!
Dean, First a very sincere congratulations! Sometimes the phase of the moon is right, there is a little pixie dust in the air, magic happens.
I can't let you get away with saying the cue ball rolls into unlucky places though. We control the cue ball, we control the luck. Even on the break shots we have a lot to say about where the cue ball goes.
C'mon now, how about the Deano No Excuses Path to One Hundred Event!
You can drink energy drinks to put a little lead in your pecker, B12 to mellow out after all of those energy drinks, who knows how high you can run! If all else fails you can try some of Willie's Wacky Terbacky. It's a brave new world out there!

I was using my Jackpot but not the fiber ferrule shaft
this surpised jack because he loves the play of the fiber
I hear about making our wn luch,but I can't control my cue ball
if I break up some clusters bad things happen frequently
or on my fast cloth the cue ball gets in a place I did't even think it could
Sometimes I whack the stack and
the cue sticks like glue to the ballsand they remain together
In spite of my limitations i ran 56 balls and didn't miss a shot
I got straight on a shape shot and couldnt move Judy

Congrats- 56 is not easy on any table, you have to do a lot of things right and almost nothing wrong to get to the 50s. Play enough and the luck evens out- so keep at it!
Nice run Dean. I don't think I've played straight pool since 2001 or 2002 and I was horrid back then. My high run might have been 13 which was impressive as I couldn't run more than 3 balls in 9 ball back then.
since i started playing on my table with the old standard
size 5 inch pockets I am enjoying myself a lot more
I am so much more relaxed when i shoot,fear of missing is no longer keeping
me from shooting shots that are a bit more difficult but open open the reast of
the balls if i make them
Before I was shooting one ball at a time,the easiest shot and i often had nothing
to shoot next
I know this is or sounds stupid,but the game scared me,and tight pockets scared
me even more
and I began to rush my stroke. i know you guys would never think like this but I did
And I am talking about this anxiety when I am at home practicing by myself,
not dogging when the money is down. I do that too when I play 9 ball or straight pool

Good for you Deano
That is a good run in anybody's book. Now that you hit that 50 it will be much
easier to do it the next time. You know you can do it and you can just keep on
going. I remember when the first time I got to 98, I got a good break shot and
was so excited, I hit the break shot perfect' balls opened up, and I called my
wife to see the historic event. I said I'm going to run a HUNDRED BALLS.
I had a pretty easy shot to make the hundred or the correct shot to open the
secondary cluster and be on my way to breaking Mosconi's record. I stood
there thinking while she looked up at the ceiling shifting her weight from one foot
to the other. I decide I'm not going to let this pass,I,m going to run that hundred.
I took the easier shot to cinch the hundred and DOGGED IT DOGGED IT.
I thought my head was going to explode. She could see how upset I was and
said, I still remember it to this day even though it's been over 50 wears ago.
