Hi 14-1 players:) Post your 2025 runs in this thread and I'll keep this first post updated with everyone's high run. Videos are welcome, but not required. If you play on multiple table sizes, I'll record the high run for each.

Rules are: cue ball fouls only, call pocket, any rack method allowed, any cleaning methodology allowed, run does not have to start from break shot, run can be practice or in an actual game, any size table is fine. *Feel free to make the rules more strict if you prefer for yourself.

Rack'em

Wow! What’s your high run? I’ve been trying to get 50 for years and not close once. I’m a 572.

Keep working at it. Maybe post videos and get thoughts? I am a 599 and run 113. You can definitely do it. How much do you play? Do you study the game? I bet you play well enough, that if you just did what Bob Jewett said to do, you would run 50 in no time. I feel I would run 100 monthly, if I had a mentor. We both just need to play smarter. If you are shooting mostly easy shots, the game isn't that hard. It is just hard making it look that easy. Laugh. Always learning in this game. I haven't had another 100 ball run, but I know I am playing better than then. It just hasn't all come together again. It will for both of us. Keep at it. Beautiful game. Brian

The thought of trying for my 14.1 high run now is kind of depressing after hearing of Jason‘s 832. Even if I’m able to string 3–4 racks which is unlikely, that seems paltry in comparison to Jason’s 60 racks!

My high run was 47 for many years. I ran 47 and out in the semi finals of a college tournament. Didn't beat that until 40 years later when I ran 59 in San Ramon CA. One can always do better.

I ran a 46 and scratched in league today (01/12/2025). It was off my opponent's opening break where a ball was wired.

I also ran a 32 near the end of our match. It was played on an 8' table with super deep shelves. Volcano's in Hurst, TX

Currently sitting at 598 FargoRate.
 
I miss the days when people would post runs of 44, 66, 75 etc between January 1-20 and then John Schmidt would post 310 and that would end the competition for the top spot for the year.

I am probably too literal a person, but that wasn't the intention here I think, but not my forum. I guess I shouldn't feel offended and this some off the wall next level sarcasm or something, but I am offended. Oh well, you have a good life. I will second though, if we could get some pros posting 100 ball run videos regularly, that would be awesome. I will definitely only post when I get 100. Way to kill the forum Mr. big guy. Laugh. Oh well. All kinds of people in this world.

There could be a pro division for this challenge! Maybe flight it like golf by Fargo 300+/400+/500+/600+/700+/800+. Then there would be a lot more happy winners!, not just one untouchable.
