What ya think? These were 2 of my first 3 breaks.

Not bad, not bad! Nice speed control from the 4 to the 5 in the second rack. A few inches either way and you would have been hooked or been on the wrong side of the five. Nice work.
 
good shooting..what kind of table is that? Looks like the lighting is from just overhead in the room..no pool table light?

I'll take the last 2 :)

Thanks! The table is an 8' Olhausen. The lights in the room are pretty bright and the ceiling is too high to hang a light. It is bright enough, actually I like the lighting much more than most of the places I play with the exception of the lighting you get with those Diamond lights. It is in a rec room for student housing at the University here, there is a ping-pong table just to the left of that. Its open 24 hrs :-b

Were you at one of the san antonio Fast eddies events? I swear I remember seeing you lose to Ismael the time he won the whole tourny. The cue is the thing that made me recognize you the most. You can play really good sometimes and you move really good as well. Everyone better watch out for this guy if He's the one I'm thinking about. You're going to be a strong player.

Say bud, you play really good. I was quite impressed since I had never seen you play before.....I thought our local hero was a lock there....:p but then I saw you hit a few balls and then three foul the ducker and then I thought he was in trouble for sure......:D . You played good and are a definitely going to get bid on in the next tourny....;) Good luck. I'll see you in Feb. here in the next fast eddies.

I played a collegiate tournament a couple months ago and was pretty much in cruise control. Then I ran into this kid I had never seen before and he broke and ran the first 3 racks and killed my spirit. Thanks a lot Eric. Nice shooting in the videos though. Jerk.

Heheh sorry about the spirit killing. Oh and thanks for the loose rack on the fourth break hah! I can't wait for that ACIU thing or whatever it is, seems like it is going to be a great time. It's a shame you gradumacated already, whats the competition usually like at that tournament?

Durr...the obvious way to not get a bad rack is to not put a 3 pack on me :) The regional ACUI is tougher than the usual tournaments but not too bad; just gotta watch out for a couple people (like Adam Maloney). Nationals on the other hand is a different story I've heard.
 
Eric,
Love watching you play, smooth, good control with great shot making ability.
Looking forward to seeing your name in the big magazines soon.
Way to go!
Richard
