2015 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

Good job. Did you get it on video?

No unfortunately I didnt but it was during a game, I have to start recording my sessions again. I miss doing that, especially now that I am implementing so many changes in my game. I would like to compare the 2 styles.

I owe a lot of my progress to my good friend and fellow 14.1er at Bayshore Billiards, we have been doing some work talking out ways through racks. Seems to be really helping my thought process even when we are not doing it.

Hopefully I will back to recording soon !!

That's great! I think talking through racks is very valuable for both players especially if they are of similar skill levels.
Looking forward to seeing some video.

I think it was January 7th when I ran 20 balls. What is interesting about this run, I managed to get past two breaks :grin: 4 balls from the first rack and 2 from the third. If only I could stop missing balls that should be made...

finally starting to get back in the groove! ran a very clean 40 tonight, 1/20/15. ended because when i had to nudge 2 balls apart i got 2 others tied up with only 4 left on the table. then missed position by a *hair* getting on them with a very long 2-cushion shot to the only spot they could be made, but instead ended up nestled against them with no shot. shame, it was a beautiful break ball, and if i got on them it was an easy out from there.

playing very well, though; last night i hit 2 28's and then what was either a 37 or a 51, but i wasn't keeping track well enough to feel i could claim it. they were all in close succession, too, so very encouraging.

 

[stevekur1]

Very good shooting my good friend, made me real happy to read this !!!

Sounds like your game is really progressing !!!

Keep it up
-Steve

Put me down for a 63

I havent been playing much lately due to my daughter being born 7 months ago and a huge promotion. That being said i played some one hole about two weekends ago and last weekend ,6-Feb-15, I put up a 63 on my first attempt. Missed a combo in the stack that I had to back cut a little.
