73 Ball Run. Working on being smoother in my final backswing. For me at least, that leads to stopping or pausing at least on the backswing, so my eyes can go back to the object ball. How do you think I am doing? My fundamentals have never been great, but trying to work on what I think I can work on.

Except from July, when I didn’t play at all, I have had atleast 1 run of 40-something every month. Started with a 42 in January, 45 in February, 41 in March, 47 in April, 43 in May, 41 in June, and 46 today in August. None higher than 50, lots in the 30s. Hopefully I will see higher numbers for the last 4 months
I tried to film today’s session - with a GoProCam on my head for the first time.
For some reason the camera stopped somewhere in the 30s but I decided to still upload it, cause I thought it would be cool to see a run from that view.
Gonna tilt my head more next time. I notice that I do most of my planning with my eyes working, but with a cam on the forehead I need to move and tilt the head more so the thinking-process and view of the table will be a larger part of the video

Good shooting all. First post updated.
Nice idea but I think you need to edit out everything between shots. Watching the ceiling spinning around for the majority of the time is unwatchable. Not trying to be difficult. I just couldn't watch it. I know you also mentioned this.
Yup, haven’t tried it again. But next time I will do one cam on head and one filming the table, so I perhaps can mix between them.

Hi guys, got a new table (4.125" pockets) in April and am shooting to get 50 on video. This is only a 34 but would love some feedback.

Not bad. I like that you don't try to kill break balls. You should get 50 soon. Took me about a month once I picked up the game again. From what I could see, 5 ball seemed a mistake as a break ball. Shot a better break ball earlier. 9 led good to 5 but high break ball and shooting on the rail. Result wasn't great but I thought you hit it right
Thanks for the feedback. I went with the 5 because it had a better keyball. My real issue is the balls not opening up. I think I need to chip at the edges of the clusters more.
Really nice. You have a lot of things going for you in terms of technique/form. Not many players will ever run 73 in their lifetime.
Where've you been my friend. It's been years.
Life! Got a 11 year old and 5 year old daughters and a beautiful wife that demands my attention lol. But did buy another table and am getting back into it lol.
It's good to see the forum still going and it's matured a bit.
I don't know about the forum maturing but it looks like you've got your priorities straight. Talking about your life, not getting back into pool but good luck with both.
