Its getting quite bad, 11 bulbs have blown in my place, chasing the landlord but no luck! :( With that and my dodgy eyes I'm surprised I made 15 lol ;)

How are you getting tight racks with your arms?

Its a tapped table, it needs re-tapping as some of the back balls aren't tight but most are.
 
Thanks for posting the video. Just curious, how long after you started playing pool did it take you to get to the point where you could run 100 balls?

Is the audio really bad for anyone else? I couldn't understand a word, it was just static.
 
Nice run. Your patterns are improving, you were also more deliberate than in a previous video I saw of you. Now that you are in the hundreds you'll have more...

Regards,

Doug

I'm prob a bad example because I started playing pool and snooker at 9, I stopped playing for 10 years and only been playing straight pool sporadically for the last couple of years on American tables. There are many better players than me with much higher runs who could prob give you a better idea.

Audio is a bit choppy I think will try and improve it

You still look like a snooker player Craig. Getting down, cueing straight, and not ponceing about joining up the dots to pot a ball.

Great run!!! Posting these kind of videos are great for those of us who haven't run 100 yet.

Could you comment on how much snooker helped your pool game and how?

Thanks
 
Nice run! Thanks for posting it.

Could you mention if snooker was a big factor in developing your pool game? Are there ways in addition to ball pocketing that it helps.

Thanks
 
Just my opinion but I think Snooker helps breaking open the rack as this is a big part of snooker, going into the pack from a ball under the rack is almost identical to snooker. Snooker helps potting and to some extent patterns but straight pool is still a different game with much to learn.

I had never seen it played before last June and it helped a lot to see other players play and how they chose to open the pack. BlackJack also helped me by suggesting leaving more than one break ball. I now try and pick a minimum of two break balls immediately after breaking the balls open and try not to move them (if available of course). I also try to pick a penultimate ball or two and leave those alone also.

I still feel that 200+ is the benchmark for a world class run though, I live in hope! :p
