105 Ball Run

[SUPERSTAR]

Well, I guess I better handle this before it gets out of control.......LOL
I had a few comments on Facebook & e-mails on the pj's

All that I wrote back is. "When your Old.... Who cares......" LOL

Funny thing. After working all day out side, I took a good shower and put those pj's on. They are really comfortable & I was just going to relax. Well, I say to myself. I think I will shoot some pool for a little while. Then I thought, it would be something if I ran a 100 Then I said:
"No Way"........ Yes, way. There I am. I will say the wife got me them for when I went into the hospital and had some test run. I had nothing to wear. I think, I would of posted that 100 even if I was in my under wear. Now that would of been a sight to behold....LOL

There is nothing wrong with PJ's.
When i am in couch potato mode and hibernating in the house, i am all about the pj's tshirt, robe and sandals.
Just i don't own a pool table, so the possibility of me ever running balls in something that comfortable is simply our of the question.

Yesterday

Thanks for the video. That was some great watching. I started playing straight pool a couple months ago and I am hooked. My story is a lot like yours. I sat next to an old man at an 8ball tourney and he got to telling me how I really need to learn the game because it would help me with all the other games. I've been going in to play straight pool with him once a week for a couple months and he is now like my 3rd grandpa. I ran 22 today to get out (he spots me 50 and had a bad day)and now, looking back, I wish I had tried to keep going. That is a long way from the 105 you showed us, but the best I've done to date. Thanks again.

Well, a friend & I went out and took Leroy to lunch yesterday. I gave him a DVD copy of my 105 ball run and the magazine of the article that was written. He was really happy. He told us stories about Weenie Beanie &
Pete Margo during lunch. Love to be around him to hear pool stories of the old greats. That was a big goal accomplished in my Life to get that 100 balls on tape for him. We had a great time together yesterday.

I made a comment about a photo of a political cartoon on another Thread which was very distasteful toward a former President & Vice President of our Country that a person has next to their name.
The person who started the Thread asked me to Edit my comment and stated that he did not start the thread for it to become a political web site, which is what I pointed out about the cartoon when I wrote my comment. For respect for the original person who started the Thread. I respectfully edited my comment but I guess that the person who started the Thread feels that there is nothing wrong with the distasteful political cartoon And so do you.
I do not appreciate what you wrote about me. From a guy who posted someone's mug shot on this web site & is consistently criticizing other players. I do not need your respect. All your comments are off the wall and no where near correct. If anyone needs to get off the INTERNET it is You.

straightman: you "super-patriots" join the army to fight for freedom but then get back home only to piss and moan about it. in this case you get your underwear in a knot over a tongue-in-cheek comic. lol.... if you don't want people dissing you, stop acting like a child.

there have been other players who have outed themselves in these forums. you can now add yourself to that undistinguished list.

I stand up for what is right & I will always protect the innocence & helpless. I don't like bullies and people who take advantage of other people by physical actions or intimidation.
If anyone is outed from this Forum, it is You and you do not even realize it.

There is no way that person should of use that political avatar on this web site.
I will not comment on this subject anymore and use this Forum as a Billiard
web site for which it is.

 

[sausage]

you are way out in left field, straightman. it's a tongue-in-cheek COMIC. you've been watching too many Dudly Dooright cartoons.

yeah, like dick and george. hahaha....

maybe you should have thought about that before you hijacked a pool thread then you bring it here to another thread. yeah, not commenting further is probably the smartest course of action you've taken to date.

your a jerk.

 

[sausage]

um, it's "you're" a jerk as in "you are". lol...

 

[sascha]

please get back to topic, it´s about mike´s 105 run and nothing else. you guys should do that in pm´s not here. I don´t want another Schmidt vs. Harriman stuff going on here.

 

[sausage]

don't blame me. mike hijacked his own thread.

 

[14-1StraightMan]

Thanks

Thanks Sascha:
Just started practicing again these passed four days. I have hit on some good runs (54, 55, 54 & today a 57) One good run per day with about an hour of practice time. The first three runs all ended on misses from poor position. Today's run ended b/c I was dead after making a good break shot, balls were every where and the cue ball was stuck on a ball. I had no shot any where. If I was playing a match, I could not even play a safe b/c there were balls all over.
I will hit some tonight and maybe I will put together another nice run.

You guys all shoot so much better than me it is discouraging.

I played for about 2 hours on Monday and I all I could eke out was a 21,24,28,29 at best. I just do not f&$#ing have it!

Dennis,

stop being so hard on yourself..... You have it, just stop dwelling over it and it will come back together. and if i remember correctly you are using a new cue, and i hope you are not jumping back and forth between cues. because that won't help either.

Stick to it, You Got It Kid !

Dennis:
Thanks for posting your comment. Steve's comments are 100% correct. Don't be so hard on yourself. I know how you feel b/c I do the same to myself. I am trying to get to the point where, I except when I mess up. As long as I know that, I gave it my best concentration during the shot. You posted some nice runs in the 20's That is steady. There are many players that wish they were hitting high 20's.
One thing I will never forget, that has helped me in my game. You posted the Link to Ray Martin's teaching video.
I did not know about that video and it is one of the best I ever seen. I learned a lot watching it. My Thanks to you.

 

[sascha]

Dennis, sure u got it, too. Your high run is 57, so you can also run 70+. It will happen right after you hit 50´s more often. You did it so believe in yourself, talk yourself into it (helps me,too).

We just have to let it go, i mean i am in a hole myself again where i can´t run 30 ! It will come back by itself. So just practice hard but enjoy and soon you will run 50 again...and then 70...

Last Night

I did some practicing last night and Sascha must of giving me the "Bug"
because I could not get out of the second rack 99% of the time. The best that I did was 43 but all the others were in the 20's. My back was really hurting and like Steve, it is just too painful to continue.
Tonight, is 9-ball league night. Last week (my first week) I shot a 7 out of 10. I hope to do just as well.

 

[Marop]

I just do not f&$#ing have it!

I think you're right kid, you just don't have it anymore. Three rails to the breakshot, bumping into balls, using deep screw when you don't have to, combos in every rack, chicken wing stroke. Its over for you. LOL

I'll send Schmidty over for a quick lesson, early Christmas present.
