Just Getting Started....
My buddy just had his table fixed in gameroom.... Had 860 simonis replaced, table leveled, rubber fixed, etc....
I've been playing 10-ball ghost when he rests but I'm trying to get into straight pool.... Adjusting to new cue and need to get back to center ball... My high run has never exceeded 30.... I'll post a video on here when I can break that....
We raced to 200 the other day while he showed me the way the game should be played.... I started to see the patterns and open pockets for each ball once I slowed my game down.... Fell beautifully on my first few break shots and missed every one of them.... I'm sure this issue, like anything else in pool, will be resolved through hard work and repetition....
I def have a new respect for the game... There is an art to it.... I thought I could just get up and run 100 after watching masters of the game make it look so simple... Boy was I wrong... I paid for it everytime I blindly went into a cluster....
Btw, I ended up coming back from 139-99 to win 200-158.... Nice swing for neither of us breaking 25 throughout the set....:thumbup:

I tied Shmidtty's record yesterday exactly
I find it a bit ironic that I ran 267 yesterday and missed a rail first shot that was right in the hole. Once we get the lighting right and if there is any interest I will try and capture a 400 hundred + ball run on camera. I have been introduced to big bro's technology which is a DVR (recording time = 10 days.) I am fairly certain that I can best my personal record in 14.1 on this table. Home surveillence on the great game of 14.1, no promises on the 400 + but once or twice a week I will try.

(no video)?
Typo alert - as most of us are aware there is a video of the 199. It's only a partial video - but there is a video all the same. Also Alinco or who ever yo are it is the highest run in competition caught on tape. I guess that is what they want me to say - so I will say it.

Yes this is true, one of my biggest regrets from that year's challenge. But I will attest that it was one of the most beautiful runs I have ever witnessed !!!
I'll have to check my files to see how much of it I actually have and maybe post it up ! I believe I have about half if not more.
