Thanks.

I was hitting them pretty good - but since that 147 (about a week and a half ago) I haven't been able to get over 60. The weather has been crazy down here for the past couple of weeks - cold - then warm - then humid then cold - the cloth gets sticky and the balls don't want to cooperate. That's Florida.

(come on - I'm a pool player - I gotta blame it on something other than my bad attitude and inability to deal with those conditions)

:p
 
hi

my friend is reclothing his gc4s in 9mile billiards soon.i have not played 14.1 since derby because the cloth is to ragged to make a huge run.anyway im going to set up a camera and see what can do in a week or so of trying.

John,

If you choose to narrate and market this like you did with "245" please count me in.

Thanks,
Craig

Best of luck. Its an honor every year to have you shoot down my best high runs in mid-February... lol

Are you going to play on the Florida Tour this year? f so, let me know - I think I still owe you lunch/dinner for giving me a ride home, hope to see you out there and hittin' 'em good this year!
 
I just started playing straight pool so i'll probably be way at the bottom just hope to see an improvement before the end of the year :p

I had 16 in Jan.

Thats not bad for just starting out! your into the second rack, keep it going!
 
Simple question

I've been reading these forums since I've got my new table at home three months ago and I think now I'm ready to start playing again straight pool after around 15 years.

But before starting to practice to put my number in the 2008 list I'd like to know the rules of counting. I mean I count the best run during a normal practice session of straight pool playing or do I start with a break ball?

Thank you,

Marco, the one that will be last in the list for some time.
 
My first couple of tries this year has resulted in a whopping 43 so far.

Well, maybe 42. You have to love a pool hall that won't fix a broken pocket in less than a years time. I made the 4th break shot, but the pocket is broke and sitting 1/2" to 3/4" low so my break ball shot back onto the table and actually hit the stack. I just quit after that.

Call it 42 and the world's crappiest pool hall.

Marco, any continuous run counts, practice starting with a breakball or match play, any way you get a run.
