Hello.
Lately i´ve been shooting some 14.1 practice but when i get sloppy i switch to 15-ball ghost sets.
I did got bunch of 15 ball run outs even i lost races vs Ghost.
I played some with instructional commentary while shooting and some without talk.
Tell me what you like of those and what is better? with or without commentary.
Also sets vs 15-ball get lengthy matches over race to 5. So i just decided to upload one rack tests :)

I prefer the sounds of the pool room and the balls being pocketed. When I watch these type of videos I try to put myself in the moment and think about how I will shoot each shot and the next one after it and so on.
 
Old story but here goes: Efren was telling Mark Wilson about playing rotation in the Philippines and Marks asks, "So, Efren, what's the most number of rotation racks you've run?" And Efren scratches his head, as he is wont to do, and says, "Three racks." And Mark follows up and says, "So what happen in the fourth rack? You just miss?" And Efren says, "Oh no, I lost the flip."

Pill pool used to be a popular game to play when I was much younger at the local hangout. The basics for four players: Each player has four pills that they keep secret until their ball is pocketed. If someone pockets your ball, you owe them a nickel. If you pocket your own, each player gives you a dime. If the person with number 16 scratches, they pay every one else a dime, If another player scratches the holder of #16 gets a dime from the player who scratches.

I was playing with a older neighbor and his two sons one evening. On the fourth or fifth game, I ran out from the 1 (rotation game). They all paid up and broke down their cues.

One of my better pool memories, and definitely my only 15 ball rotation run.

I remember it was 4 racks and Mark then asked how so little? I see you run 3-4 racks every day when u shoot alone..
Then Efren said he lost the flip... So basically it is impossible to make more when they flip coin who breaks before break :)

btw I missed easy 15 on 3rd run out in row one set :D

Edit: added 2 fail racks.. first one was miss on 3rd run in row. I did remember wrong and it was from ball in hand. first 2 racks i had a shot after break. Anyways. It is so easy to get lazy in end rack after hard work you relax too much..
