This is a great game to warm up with.

First off, I apologize for this video being blocked in some countries because of the music content. Steve Ray Vaughan

How to play..........Rack 10 balls, break them, if anything drops on the break it gets spotted. Then take the Q-Ball and start in the kitchen and run all 10 balls, doesn't matter what order, just shoot them in. A perfect game is 12 racks.

Tips........Rack them tight, don't smash the break, not too soft, not too hard, just right to spread the balls out with nothing tied up. Every table is different so you will need to find the perfect break for your table. Once you master the perfect break there is no reason you should ever miss a shot. LOL This game will teach you that you need to focus on all shots, especially when playing on a 10 foot table, even the simple shots. It will also teach you the easiest pattern when running out a rack.

The top pros will run 3 consecutive games.

Hope you enjoy the game and remember, it's only a game, don't get frustrated.

My personal favourite warmup game is throwing 5 balls out randomly on to the table and then trying to play position for a breakshot. The brainwash drill is also nice. The added benefit of your game over the two others is the ability to keep score.

OK, but why would you want to keep score while warming up? To me, a warm up period just gets my arm, back and leg muscles accustomed to stretching, and give me a few minutes to get my visual and motor control up to speed for the day.

i watched about half of the video, great game that "bowliards"

i think you may have goofed in the video, you stated rack 4 twice i believe. So your number is 10 balls off if thats the case.

Nice shooting, and i look forward to watching the rest of the video.

Yes that is correct. I moved the quarter but stated rack 4 twice. I realized it a couple racks later. My best 14.1 run on this table is 70. Here is the video. http://youtu.be/p4CoaYZ0YWs

Next post will be 100+.

123 views and no replies...not a whole lot going on in this forum:frown:. Seems like this would be a good warmup game, I agree.

Well, maybe that's because the title of the thread is 125 ball run, but then when you open it, you find out quickly it is not about a 125 ball run, but a warm up game.

Sounds like a good way to warm up, by the way.

looks like a very nice table - do you ever try playing 14.1?you can also practice german style 14.1, it's like normal 14.1 but you have to shoot the last five shots in numerical order ie if the last five spheres on the table are the 1-5 then the five must be your break shot - it's a challenge but lots of fun. your ten ball practice game seems a bit easy for a solid player. i do envy that table you have - it's the perfect table for straight pool. ok i see you do play 14.1 - 70 ball run is not to shabby - what's the year and model of your table if you don't mind me asking?
i am a bit envious as i do not have one and that table is sweet.

I'm not sure the exact year but it was built between 1920 - 1925. I'll take a picture of the name and maybe someone here can figure it out.


One of the guys in the league caught wind that there was a 10' Brunswick for sale so he and another player went to check it out. The owner was trying to sell it for $200, I don't think he understood what he had. So when they got there to look at the table, instantly he wanted it. So he offered the seller $100 and it was a deal, the owner just wanted it out of his basement.

Turns out the table was built between 1920 & 1925. It is all metal except the wood frame around the slates and the rails. My buddy already had a 9' Brunswick and ended up storing it for several months contemplating weather to set it up or sell it. I was looking at purchasing a brand new 9' Diamond at the time and he offered the 10 footer to me for $200. I kicked the idea around for 4-6 weeks and at the time my girlfriend offered to buy it for me. I accepted. I was skeptical, wondering if the table would play well after I invest the time and money in setting it up and purchasing the felt . It ended up costing me around $300 for the felt and my buddy and I put the table together and when it was finished I was amazed that this 90 year old table played better than any other table I have every played on. I thank my ex girlfriend for talking me into this table instead of spending $6000 on a Diamond.
