26 is my high run, but that was more of luck for me. I made a couple bank shots off bad position that I normally wouldn't make and set myself up for a really nice break shot that opened the table up pretty much to continue my run. My average is probably only about 8 balls right now.
14.1 high runs... be honest

- Start date
Nice analogy
Now a quick detour. My first successful hunt was a stalk. 2 guys 2 deer. I’ll skip the run around but it was fun and intense. About an hour later the first deer is going down and I’m walking the perimeter of a swamp, listening to shots fired from inside and thinking the other deer must be long gone.
I’ve got my Mom’s little lever action 30-30 with the safety on when I notice a buck standing 15 yards in front just staring at me lol. I survey the scene...nothing that I can hurt with a wild shot..I know he’s about to bolt. I clicked the safety off and that mother leaped about 20 feet in a blink and started bounding off. I just lifted, led, and fired in like a half second and watched that dude fold up into a rolling ball of fur and antlers. Oh it was a great first shot. A spinal tap.
Back to pool. Your description just made me think of that day since I basically cheated the first deer jitters by having to shoot on the fly. Afterwards I realized how tough it can be when you’re adrenaline is going and your trying to hold steady.
I put together a 94 today, if you don't count the misses, scratches and fouls. Heck, I'd still be going but the all-day rate at my local hall ended at 3:00.
My hi run is around 10-12, I’ve ran more in one pocket than 14.1
Gods honest truth
Best
Fatboy
The best I have done running racks
So, I've never played 14.1 but I think it's a great game anyway. It's just that nobody ever played that game where I played.
My high run in 9-Ball is 5 racks without missing a shot. Quit playing for over 20 years so this had to be in the late 90's and it was on an 8 ft table. At least it wasn't on a kiddie table lol that's what I call 7ft pool tables.
Just started playing again about 8 months ago and bought my own 9 ft table. Just a cheapo table but it works good enough for me, ....for now.

I've been playing 14.1 diligently on my 8 foot Gandy table for about a year now. Never really devoted myself to 14.1 till a year ago.. My favorite game now. My High Run so far is 75. I video myself from time to time to analyze my game. My highest video recorded run is 57. Nice to see all the responses on your post. Good luck..

I've had numerous high runs of 14 in straight pool, I always end up butchering it on the break ball. I've had a couple 2 packs in 9 ball, against the ghost with BIH after the break. To much pressure, but still trying.......
627 on a tight GC with 6 inch pockets, had it VHS'd but something went wrong and it only taped the first 11 balls and then skipped to when I missed ( or as Frost would say, that ball rolled off).
What does that mean? Sounds like a contradiction to me.
TX was having some fun...the whole post was a rib...:grin:

High run in practice was 92 about 7 years ago. In a tournament match I've ran 74-out and 63-out. For the last 10 years I have rarely been playing anymore but on two different occasions I had been away from the table for a month, racked a break ball and proceeded to run 70-something on my first inning. Straight pool is my game
I need 8 inch pockets. Anyone know where I can get a table like that?:
59 on a 9' Gold Crown playing against AlphaDog on here.
I've watched a decent amount of straight pool and it always amazes me how difficult it is, even for pros. Watching some World Championships, I always thought they'd run out when they got a decent chance, but even the pros sometimes can't make the break ball or get hooked after the break.
I'll bet Bob Jewett has many stories of pros doing his Straight Pool Challenge at the DCC and only getting 0, 1 or definitely not making it through the rack.

17 once, but I very rarely practiced/played 14.1 since I started 8 years ago. I will have to start trying my hand at 14.1 more often, its supposed to make you better at all games or so they say.
