Hi all,

Vid available.

122..... and counting

Great run! I am absolutely impressed with the run.

PS: I forgot to mention: how I love your table. One of my four favorites of all time. Plus, it has a ball return.

Hey guys, I just purchased a 10' Brunswick. I should have it set up and recovered in 2-3 weeks. Can't wait to play 14.1 on it.

Whoa! 10-foot Brunswick? Is that one of the early-1900s Brunswicks, with the ashtrays molded into the corner pocket castings? Those are RARE!!

You'll have to let us know how it turns out -- with pictures!!

Yeah, I'll bet yer chompin' at the bit to play 14.1 on that thing! :thumbup2:

I called Brunswick and sent them pictures. They said they built it between 1920-1925. No ashtray though. LOL
 
Meucci 59 Viking 40

I shot a 59 twice this year, followed by a 56, 50, 49 and I shot a 40 yesterday. Yesterday, I was using my Viking cue and not my favorite Meucci. It was the first time I've played 14.1 without one of my Meucci's. I'm just so used to the Black Dot and UW shafts I fall to pieces without them.:smile:
 
Just ran 49, and dogged a hanger. That's my high run of the year, though.
 
New lifetime high run of 30, however. That 30th ball was sheer slop. The only shot I had was a one rail kick into a corner pocket. I hit the ball but missed the shot, however. In the ensueing action my object ball got rehit by something and went into the called pocket. In a match, a legally pockted ball but I generaly do not count such shots in practice sessions.

I'll leave it up to the boss, did I run 29 or 30 in the spirit of this list?

A 105!

I just ran 105 on my Diamond. IMO it was a solid run although I did have to fight for a few balls from 80 on in. It's like Ray Martin once said, the table won't let you run a hundred, you gotta do something. So at 62 I am very proud of the run and that I was able to do something.

March 2. 105 plus I did get it on video.
So as long as my new camera doesn't let me down, I'll get it posted up and provide a link so the video link can accompany the 105.

According to the rules of the game that last ball counts. My vote is for 30.

Now you just have to run a clean 31+ so that in your mind you can get rid of the asterisk :)

Congratulations on your 30, Dave! :thumbup:

As Ratta said, the third rack is beckoning. Keep banging on the door with the 28s and eventually, you will get one where you get some chances to get moving deeper into the third rack.
 
Thanks all for the encouragement. I watched the video and saw exactly what happened. I got about a half ball hit on that object ball and it came off the rail and hit the back of the rack, caromming neatly into the corner pocket. I think I can do that 31. My fondest hope is to do it, not in practice but against my mortal enemy Haffast Larry.
