2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

My game’s been a mess recently and I haven’t played 14.1 in ages, but managed a decent little 66 ball run the other day. I was really focusing on shortening my back swing in this session, which I think had gotten much too long recently.



I love your confidence when you shoot. I thought in the last rack you would use the 8 ball to open the rack while you had several balls for insurance.
 
Not sure what the rules are for this challenge. But I got a clean, reasonably planned out 53 today on a nine foot diamond. Felt good enough. I was pleased with the effort. My sparring pal Don (shown here) saw it. Also, cubes go great with salad.

PS, just noticed your list includes Fargo rating for reference. Mine is 618 as of today. Not that any of this matters. Also finally read the rules. Note that this run started from a break shot in practice for those who wish to know.

PSS, all I play these days is bar box 8 ball. My divorce that went final this year has resulted in my beloved 9 foot diamond being in storage for the last year and a half. Here's to hoping that 2026 will be the year I can afford a place to set it back up. Just sharing this, well, just cuz

Nice run! I gotta get me some of that grey cube. I bet it is super fantastic happy hour.
