I'm a 5 in 9 ball. Recent wins: 15-5 vs a 7, 15-5 vs a 6, 13-7 vs a 7, 13-7 vs a 6. Lost by 3 balls to another 6. Guess I'm hittin' 'em ok right now.
hang in there...believe it or not a lot of teams are always looking for a decent shooting 4. 4's and 5's are the backbone of a good team ...imo.
if you are a 7 you can hold your own in master....but then an apa 7 can range anywhere from a c+ to semi pro .
good shooting :wink:
not bad at all:thumbup:
last night i faced a 6 in 9 ball. my closest win i have had in the last few months. won by 1 point.
i faced the same guy in 8 ball. i won the lag and and made a b&r the 1st rack. i won the next 2 racks and am on the hill 3-0. i break dry the 4th rack and he runs the table.
5th rack he breaks and runs 3 balls ...i run 5 balls and then he runs out.
6th rack he runs 3 balls again..i run 2 and play safe. he misses i run 2 more and play safe. ne runs 3 and misses and i run out winning 4-2.
Very nice!not bad at all:thumbup:

Started playing a "masters league" meaning no handicap tonight. Lost 7-2.....oops! Choice of 8 or 9 ball, 5-8ball gms, 8-9ball gms. Flippers choice. Should be a fun league - havent played in about a yr........look out next week

good luck...i think you will enjoy it...i know i do.:grin:this is my 3rd session. 1st match i ever played i lost 7-0
had to quit early 1st session due to a chnge in work schedule. 2nd session i managed a 50% record. this session i am 2-3 so far.tonight in double jeapordy i faced a 4 in 8 ball. i won the lag and started out pretty strong winning the 1st 3 in a row.
4th rack it was like i forgot how to shoot all of a sudden. next thing you know my opponent won 2 in a row and its hill-hill. i managed to get it together enough to win the last rack.
about 45 minutes later i face their 8 in 9 ball. he is shooting great and i am still in the same funk that i ended 8 ball with.....bad combination. :frown:
he wins 19-1 . when i go up and shake his hand he says...that is payback for knocking me out of the regional qualifier 2 weeks ago (single elimination ).
i replied....that is ok.....at least i am going to nashville and you aint. every one on both teams started laughing. :grin-square:tonite was my 1st loss in 9 ball in the last month and a half...beating a 9 last week.
cant win them all....just hate playing lousy like i did tonight.
Playoffs... I managed to win both of my matches pretty easily. In 9-ball I am a 5 and beat a 6 by 17-3, and in 8-ball I am a 7 and beat a 6 by 5-2 (though my opponent would have been on the hill at 3-3 were it not for a fortunate APA slop roll in the penultimate game). I was proud of some of the safeties I laid, a couple of which were really nasty and led to clearances. The two teams lost both matches though. What can you do... it does make scheduling easier for next week

Lost 25-34 to a 3...but this 3 banked his way out of three consecutive safeties. Gotta love giving up huuuuge weight. But I just shook his hand cuz he played great.
I played double jeapordy wed night.
Won 8 ball 4-3 vs a 6
In 9 ball I faced a 4 in 38-31 race. I was up 37-24 and feeling pretty confident in a win with him breaking and needing 7 points to my 1.
He made 3 on the break and ran 4 more to win the match. Only thing that kept him from a break and run was he got his required points on the 7 ball....the 8 and 9 were hangers.
Damn. ....i just shook his hand and said good shooting

my fri night scotch doubles team has been kickin butt ever since i put it together 2 sessions ago.
the 1st session we qualified for 8 ball ltc. 2nd session we qualified for 9 ball ltc. this session we have been in 1st place in both since the 1st week with only one week left this session.
last night we won 5 out of 6 matches with one of my players having an unchararistic bad night in 9 ball singles....lost to a 3 25-23.:frown: he did win 8 ball singles 4-1 vs a 6 though.
my co captain and i were on a roll last night.
he won 8 ball singles 4-1 vs another 5 . he and i won 8 ball doubles 4-0 vs a 6/4 team. he and i won 9 ball doubles 38-22 vs a 7/3 team in a 38-38 race.
now for the coup de grace....i won 9 ball singles vs a 7 by 38-26.....one of my better nights :grin-square:
i hope we can perform like that in ltc's .

You keep whoopin' 7s like that and you will not be a 5 in the ltc. But so what?!! Be the best you can be, I say. Strive for 7/9!
Atlanta APA division playoffs last night. My 9 ball team won regular session by 100 points, getting 1,050 for the session. So, last night, we won first match 16-4. Second match, won 15-5. Then it was my turn. Played a strong 6; I won 15-5. So, after 3 matches, we were up 46-14, needing our 4th to pocket only 15 points to give us the win. Done and done. On to Qualifiers and City Championships!!!
great shooting and good luck. :thumbup:
my wed night 9 ball team qualified for cities by coming in 1st place last session.
last tue my 8 ball team won in 3 matches with me winning 4-2 vs a 6
last wed night in 8 ball playoffs we won in 3 matches with me winning 4-0 vs another 5
also qualified for cities in both 8 and 9 ball scotch doubles.
i hope one of those 5 teams makes it through cities. thankfully my two 8 ball teams are in different brackets for tri cups next weekend.
are you physic or what ? went up to a 6 this week after beating a 9 by 38-60 in 12 innings. cant play in my 9 ball doubles cities now.....unless i go back down before then. still eligible for 8 ball doubles cities with the same team.
had 8 ball tri cups this weekend which we won. i went 3-1 this weekend.
already qualified for 9 ball cities also.
Our 8-Ball team squeaked into playoffs by one point thanks to my wife (SL2) joining the team. Playoffs were yesterday and again thanks to my wife we ended up winning and getting a spot at regionals.
She beat a 5 and 3 for a total of 5 points. Where my game (SL7) was not even close to being on, her and the team deserve all the credit for pulling it off.
After playoffs they ran a 'captains' tournament for a qualifying spot and I final showed up to win it. Day wad long though being at the hall at 10:30am and got home at 1:15am.
Well worth it!

Match last night: Dude i was playing was a new player, so sl4. In the middle of the match, before i was about to break from winning last rack, their captain asks how long i have played. I said 20 years. He said he thought six months based on how i shoot.
I said, "well, i'm breaking and your guy isn't". I then proceeded to crush his guy. Dude made only 4 total balls in next 4 racks.
