Steve K, thank you for the support you give us "underruners" here in this thread
Vahmurka is at it, everyone needs support, especially the "underrunners"
Good job, Steve :thumbup:

I am a firm believer that a positive attitude is half of the battle, and i as well am a Underrunner as well.....Some days the balls co-operate and you just have to roll with it !!!!

Hi straight-pool folks
@steve
good sentence!
the word *underrunners* sounds a bit negative to me. No matter what s the skill-level of someone-he s putting the same enthusiasm into the game like a *bigrunner*. So those *underrunners* deserve the same respect and they sometimes need to get pushed by nice comments or just good advices!
Today felt a bit better and was about 3 1/2 hours at the table....now feel terrible again-LOL
Made 10 innings- still makes me crazy that i m not able to reach the cueball from every position on the table, grmbl. Afterwards it s funny- im playing the ball and think "yes, nice position...go around the table and then....Arrrgs...how can i reach it, rofl!"

Ingo,

agree, that was the reason I put the word in double quotes
79
I had a 79 last night when I got some practice in.
I had a 51 during a League match on Saturday, winning my match 150 to 44.
I also played another match on Saturday and ran a few 30's with the highest of 37. I won that match 150 to 33. All n all, I had a good day to do as well as I did with the poor equipment & lighting that we have to deal with. Very Satisfied.

Good shooting Mike! My matches this year have been pretty bad in terms of high runs. I think my lowest high run in a match last season was an 18. So far through 5 matches (2 wins, 3 losses) this season, my high run is only 18. Last year, I only had one match where I didn't at least hit 20. It may be because I'm now hyper-aware of everything I'm doing and maybe I need to relax a bit more! 
Thank You
LOL.....my German friend. I seen that (dumbs) and I got scared....but then I seen (thumbup)...... LOL
Thanks, it means alot. I just ran 71. I was shooting very well and I thought I had a 100 tonight for sure. I played a break shot about an inch from the long rail to the right side of the rack. Put some inside left on the cue ball. Made the shot and sent the cue ball to the top of the rack. The rack sounded like concrete. The cue ball rolled away from the rack but only two balls had come out of it and I had no shot at all. End of story.

Congrats Mikey Mouse, very glad to hear that you are still hitting them strong !!!

Run of 75 today. It was followed by a 44 and 40. I like the numbers, but I'm not happy with the way I did it. I had some good patterns but there were too many tough shots considering the racks were opening up nicely. And I wasn't looking for the insurance balls.
Well then let me be the first one one AZ to offer you a proud Congrats....i am very happy to hear about this !!!
Keep it up Kid !!

Thanks Steve
Thanks Steve. Came up short on the key ball giving me a slightly off angle combination through the rack. BUT! If I hit it slightly softer and a half a tip lower I would've ended up with a perfect classic break shot to open the 6th rack. As a result, I ended up with a shallow angle on a low break ball. Drew the cue into the corner ball and it went to the back rail leaving me a full table tough bank to keep the run going, but barely missed. Thanks again.

Ran a 48 on an 8-footer last night (March 8, 2011), besting my high run by 1! This year has seen both my 9-footer and 8-footer high runs (45 and 48). Run ended on a miss on the key ball which was a ball I left on the rail too long. I'm working on breaking 50 this year!
