You've come a long way, Pilgrim.
Are you talking to me? If so, in what way?
That’s what I thought, and I recognized the quote, but I didn’t know what you were complimenting specifically.
Thanks,
Dave
FYI, we've had more people enter the 36-Ball Runout Challenge. Here are links to the videos:
Dr. Dave Alciatore
Florian "Venom" Kohler
Jason Hal
Tyler Voorhees
Lil' Chris
Juan Rendon
Let's see more AZB'ers give it a go!
Good luck,
Dave

That’s a lot of damn balls!
Very cool.
Very cool.
Give it a go and post a video when you get a runout. It is not easy, but it is easier than you might think.
Good luck!
I missed the 36th ball. Wasn’t even a hard shot. Ha! Will give it another go soon!
I call that "premature celebration." I look forward to seeing your 36-ball-runout video.
And I'm pretty sure I've seen you 'play one on TV'I'm not a medical doctor (my PhD is in mechanical engineering), but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
( I suspect younger people who didn't watch TV years ago won't understand the reference, but I thought I would try anyway.)
There was(is?) a bar in Wichita KS (shooters on S. Hydraulic) that had a standing challenge to run 36 balls on a bar table. If you ran the balls you got $100. The handicap was the odds. Everyone regular had their own individual odds. I think I had to bet $25 to win the $100. Jr. Brown was the highest at that time and he had to bet $300 to win the $100.
We haven't anybody post a 36-ball Runout Challenge video yet on a bar box. I'd like to see it. I also hope to spend some time tying it some day. Should be fun.
I would do it except that I'm at least 2 months from getting my home room set up and I am not going out and about right now.
I was there when Jr Brown bet $300 and ran em out on his first attempt. They took his name off the board and wouldn't let him try again. lol.
