A (not so) big 12...
On my first foray into the world of 14.1 for 2011, I managed to match my high of last year, 12. My goal is to at least double that this year. I'm going to need a lot more practice.

12 is not that easy to run for a beginner, that's good. Flock here and follow the good advice by knowledgeable players, and you will double sooner than you expect!
Thanks, but...
Unfortunately, I'm not really a beginner. Though I haven't played a lot of 14.1 over the years. And I have been away from the game of pool for many years. My personal best is 47 or 48 (it's been so long I can't remember exactly). Just need more time at the table to get the skills back.
Thanks for the advice. I do follow the knowledgeable players here. Their information is priceless.

68 and a 76
I ran 68 and then after a few shots ran 76 a little while ago. I have been playing very well lately. I know it is not 100's but when I was younger. I never would of thought that I could have runs like these as often as I do.

85 Ball Run
Just had a 85 ball run. It ended when I made a good position break shot and had no shot after wards. I attempted a stupid combo shot from inside the rack, the object ball went in a different direction then what I was hoping.... LOL
Sorry Stevie, no video. I just have not been setting it up.

81 Ball Run
Just ran 81 balls and missed a short shot by bobbling it in the corner, that if I would set it up again. I would make it 100 times in a row.
I went back in and set up the video recorder and I have it recorded but there is a break in the action, someone came to the door. (sounds familar.... LOL)
Not going to down load it, b/c I do not want to deal with stopping & starting when I would convert it over to DVD. Hopefully, I can get a better run soon.
After the miss, I had perfect position on the next few balls leading up to another good break shot. I'm sick.

straight challenge
Even small increments are appreciated. I ran 17 today in a match with my son. 9 ft. Brunswick.

N/a
N/A Buddy. I wish I had b/c this time I ran 100 with my blue jeans on and not in my PJ's....... LOL
I have been video taping. I have three VHS tapes that are all filled up with good runs. I have been debating on down loading one of the runs. Not sure what run is on what tape (specially that 81 ball run you had asked me about). I have them sitting there, so I have not been taping.

New personal best...
Ran 71 tonight practicing. Only times I was in trouble were in rack 4 when I got up against a ball and had to play a bank and after the break shot of rack 5 where all I had was a not-so-straight-in combination. Couldn't manufacture a break ball for rack 6 and missed the stack trying to draw into them. But I was pleased with the way I was playing and if I didn't have to get up early for work, I'd probably still be there.
