2024 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

[jeagle64]

ran 26 today. Missed the initial break ball and kept playing. Secondary break ball was wild

You can run 50+ easy. Don’t hit the break so hard, just make it as usual. That table is fast enough for the balls to open up easily. You shoot really smooth and efficiently.

Im blushing. Thanks man. 50 seems like a dream at this point. i’ve ran a handful of 25+ in the last month but i just keep leaving myself too much work to get on the break ball well enough to play it normally

Finally on the board: 25.

I ran 83. I thought today was the day to break 100. My Fargo is 673/361.

Sorry about the zoom view I have a new side view I thought was recording also, but I forgot to push record.

I am a member finally and I can post. I will post a few videos in the 50s/60s this year when I get a chance. Highest run so far this year is 70.

Ok, don't really know what I am doing here, but trying to link a 62 ball run I had in February.

You play well enough to run way more than 26. If it hasn't happened yet, it will soon. You took the balls off the table nicely.

thanks but this is only showing one good run when most of mine end around 9 or sometimes 5. The worst of all is the constant 13s and 14s from missing the key/break ball. i always have a plan and it always goes to shit.

still, i appreciate the kind words and hope to one day enter the third rack.

Yes. My new high run.

Quit playing in 2011, and started again about 12-15 months ago.

 

[Poolmanis]

Long time since i shoot 14.1 but maybe i try today get something here

 

[soyale]

New high run today, by a ball. 29.

super scragly, coming up well short on the break ball and getting stuck, followed with a hilarious fluke where i was trying a multi ball combo that got kicked up to a short rail bank into the called pocket.

The 28 i ran last year was cleaner but i guess this is better since i actually made the second break ball. Missed the stack by a hair and then missed the full rack corner ball. Oh well, heres hopin it doesnt take me another year to get a shot at the second break ball.
