45-Ball Challenge with Run-Out Strategy Commentary

Yep. Not everybody likes the "crudeness" of that particular shirt, but thank you for noticing.

Dr_Dave, please let us know if you're ok.

In recent weeks you've posted multiple 15-ball rotation runouts and now a 45 ball runout. This is amazing pool content, but also sounds remarkably like the sh*t I would come up with to avoid that one particular thing on the "Honey Do" list that I really don't want to do, and don't have the heart to tell my wife that it's a horrible idea.

I can already picture your voice

"Now honey, I would love to take our hardwood stained kitchen cabinets, take them apart, and then try to paint them white, but I need to go to the basement and shoot pool for the next 14 hours - it's for work"

Nope. I'm just trying to find things to motivate me to put in some long practice sessions. I'm going to VNEA in Vegas at the end of May and want to try to bring my best game.
 
I don’t have enough balls to even try it.

I’ve only got one set.

If you meant this literally (concerning pool balls), you could buy some extra cheap sets or try it at a pool hall during the day when they might be willing to let you use a few sets at once.

It was a little bit of a joke and the truth at the same time.

I used to have 2 sets of pool balls but sold one of them a couple years ago. There’s not any pool rooms close to me that I even visit.

I suspect most people won’t have the balls to try it. 😲

You need even more balls to try this:

---- 2:17 - 4-ball combo with “furniture rearrange”
---- 4:06 - 4-ball combo in side
---- 4:32 - double-cluster break-out
---- 4:57 - another double-cluster break-out
---- 5:33 - short-side shape

Check it out and give it a try.
 
Several people on YouTube and Facebook asked me to attempt a big-rack break & run on a "bar box." Here it is:


Contents:
0:00 - Intro
0:50 - combo with break-out
1:26 - kiss shot with break-out
2:21 - spin-induced throw into a big pocket
3:02 - follow carom break-out
3:30 - ball-first inside follow rail-cut-shot break out
4:11 - precision draw to short-side shape
