Good grief, Danny, get a grip. This is the *14.1* forum. There is a separate *Aiming Conversation* forum. The distinction between the two exists for a reason -- conversations of one topic go in one, and conversations of the other topic go in the other. I'm sure the readership knows that if they want to explore aiming stuff, the forum exists for that topic, and they are free to go there. Nobody is telling anyone about what to learn or why -- that is *YOU* reading into that, or rather, thinking this is an opportunity to sling an arrow at me.
Aren't you aware of what happened out on onepocket.org, where the threads there were getting polluted with aiming systems discussions, and the mods had to intervene?

That is very cool, DJ -- showing consistency into getting into that second rack. String a few of those together -- with a safety in between -- and look out!! That's what wins matches.

Good point Sean. I knew what you meant as soon as I read your one comment. Sometimes one must really spell out comments step by step for other people to understand.
Thanks for being real. Please introduce yourself if I see you out at the Derby in the straight pooloom.
Will see you at the derby..
Sure will....i spend most of my time in the 14.1 room. It's like dying, and finding yourself in pool heaven !!!
Maybe i can get some pointers from you too !!!
I got some help from schmidt last year, but he's a hard act to follow too ! lol
Best Regards,

I spent a little time in that room last year. Did you try the challenge? How did you do?
29 tonight, Jan 17th. key ball for a side pocket break was located nicely, and i was straight on to it, but about 5' away, and i needed just a couple of inches of draw, but instead hit a stop shot, so was dead straight onto the break ball. grrrr.
but putting together Any kind of run was quite a relief, as i've been in a rut since last weekend. sparkle84 (Steve) came by, and he put together a 40 while i was running 3's and 5's...

I really have no one to play 14.1 with. So if I go to the room and no one is there to play 9 or 10 ball I practice 14.1 because I like to play it and I think it's the best way to keep sharp.
So the point being i never count how many I run.And because I can run multiple racks sometimes I will realize that I've made 2 or 3 break shots and have no real idea how many I've ran.Kind of in my own little world just playing and thinking about other things.I never play to run a bunch on purpose and counting is too much work.
Just a guess but last week I know I made a handful or so then ran two more racks and again a handful.
So I'm going to call it about a 45 or so. Maybe less-maybe more-not sure.
Sometimes a friend will say you ran x amount of balls because he was counting and I have no clue what I did. Might be the fact that I drift off mentally while playing. I am pushing 66 and concentrating is getting more difficult.
I really have to push myself to bear down playing.

Use Coins !
Put a coin on the rail as you rack, move it one diamond every time you hit a break shot ! this is what most of the pro's do.
