I was playing a buddy some one hole tonight, He had one ball I needed 8. It was the 3rd or 4th shot of the game I banked a ball into the stack and a ball went in, It was never wide open I ran 12 and out. On the 13th ball which was sitting 1/4" from the 14th ball I neded to bank it, I tryed to spin it and run the CB into the last ball so I could have went 14 and out. I banked it 4" short and it actually double banked into the oppsite pocket. I didnt hit the other ball-it was a bad shot, I didnt miss cause of pressure, JUst chose a bad shot. I set it up again 2 stroked it and it went in. I should have just tried for 13 and I most likely would have got it.

But still 12 in the same hole is good for a C player in one inning from nowhere. The pockets are a bit on the big side 4.6" at the points, but I hit eveery ball clean, I didnt "get away with anything". JCIN was there and saw it. Makes all the hours worth it when something like this happens, I never felt pressure, I just really took my time and beared down.

I been playing 1P for 2 months now, not bad for a C player.:smile:

Happy Holidays
 
I ran 14 balls in one pocket twice tonight and once I ran all 15. Not too bad considering I was only playing with one arm.

Oh, btw, your 12 balls was not too bad either.:grin-square:
 
My personal best is 12 balls in a game,this was over 2 years ago actually.Good job on your 12 and it looks like your hard in training for our matchup. ;)
 
Good job Eric. Glad to see you are up and runnin'. Merry Christmas to you and your girl. See you at the D.

Great going. Can tell that you're hooked on one hole. When I first played the game I was at a guys house playing on his Anniversary table and ran 8 and out from the break. That was about 12 years ago. Since then I've done it once more.

i will be ready
 
ditto

Sounds a bit like my 12 and out.Mine was on the 2nd shot of the game,I banked a ball in (i'm a terible banker),I ran 11 more using mostly cut shots,2 caroms,1 combo.I can still remember how the last 3 ball sat,2 balls were tied up on the rail midway between the side pocket and my pocket,I tried to 3-rail the 13th ball and spin into the 2-ball cluster.I jawed the ball and bumped the cluster without opening them up anyway.

Usualy when playing with friends we will keep shooting beyond the game winning ball to see how many we can run.

Also have 3 break and runs.

IMO 1P is the ultimate game,endless creativity,a game of skill and strategy.
 
Congrats Eric!!

If you ever stop ducking me for some 9 ball, I now get the 8!!!!!!!!!

:D

Russ......
 
the best move is 8 and out...or in your case 12 and out. congrats man!

ps..does this mean I get 9-7?
 
I ran 11 again today. It could have been 15 they were laying good but something got bumped. I'm playing ok right now, I dont move too good bt am pocketing balls, the table is easy, too easy-I'm gonna fix that soon.
