So, I was watching some APA videos out of pure curiosity, and while I certainly was not shocked by the number of racks run (maybe I was unlucky with the videos I chose IDK), I started wondering; what if someone really, really, really good tried to run the highest possible number of 8ball racks on this thing? I'm not talking about a shortstop, but a real, bonafide pro. Surely the sky is the limit?
I remember running 4 racks from the first break in the university rec room alone, trying to relax after an exam. I had never played on a bar box before and I was a C-player then. My high run on the 9 footer at the time was 3 racks...Did I get lucky, or is it this much easier? I've never played on a Valley since, though I have very rarely tried on other brands of bar boxes with bar cues without tips etc.. and have never played on a bar box with my own cue (not counting UK 8 ball, which I have played plenty of). So I'm not really sure how many I could run now. I have a Brunswick Bristol 7 footer that I have been meaning to restore, packed away. Not exactly the same of course, but maybe close enough? This calls for an experiment, lol. How many have you APA guys run?
