Thanks so much for the comment. I just ran 108 balls. It ended with a hung up ball in the upper right corner that was not a hard shot.
**** I need a favor..... someone needs to click on my profile b/c right now, I do not like the number showing (has a bunch of 6's in it) If you know what I mean. It needs to get over that number.
Thanks.

Thanks Dennis for the kind words. I set up the video recorder tonight for the first time in a long time. I really wanted to run a 100+ on tape to post for everyone but I only ran 79. Missed another shot in that upper right corner.
I will keep trying.

You are turning into a ball running machine. I think you ought to try to get into the World Championships in Jersey next year.

Marpo is out golfing with Corey Deuel again today. He was talking about taking his pool table down and getting some sort of a golf simulator set up. I think (hope) he is joking.

Worm that I am, I got a 55 last night in my basement. I was practicing long shots and cut shots and decided to set up a break shot and go. It went surprisingly easy. No camera but so what.

I've had a 49, 54, 55, and 56 this year. Prior to that, I had not hit 49 since 2009 when I had my only 50, a 57 ball run. Hope springs eternal in this old man's heart. :D

who really knows!?

Blackjack told me among other things to slow down and look at the table, make a plan. John Schmidt and Marop have told me plenty and whenever we discuss a run, things come up about how best to play it. Bobby Hunter told me a few things in a lesson he gave me.
Sailor worked with me for a while. Sam DeChristopher showed me some things with my grip last year that helped.
Ed Latimer continues to tell me things. Jeff Mohl has worked with me a bit recently.
Danny Diliberto has told me things in lessons and in his commentary on dvd.
J.R. Calvert and of course George Fels have said interesting things on their recent commentary. Phil Capelle had a lot of interesting patterns in this his most recent book that might be sinking in.
RickDee told me things to do including keeping my bridge hand completely still. Ratta told me about putting more weight on my bridge hand to keep it still.

So many sources. So little sinks in. :)

Dennis,

Your doin just fine, dont sweat it...just have to connect the dots !!!

Do you think that maybe after all that input it is too much knowledge and you cant play your own game ??

Shot a 33 on 11/30

Good work. :thumbup:

33 is a good number. It means you got on at least 2 break shots and were successful with them. (If someone runs 29, it could be because someone left him a 14 ball gift and he was able to run the next rack, the break ball and that's it; Anything over 29 shows you are getting to the next level.)
