71 Ball run on tape....

I will hopefully watch this run today or tomorrow. Great shooting, first try and run a very respectable number. I feel like everytime I try to record I jinks myself and cant put up a descent number.

hope you enjoy it and might learn something of it
 
Great shooting again Sasha!
My high run has been 27 for so long I am not sure I will ever break it.
You did that as if it was a walk in the park.

Thanks again for sharing.
Enjoyed watching.

Much Better

That is a much better angle for the camera. Much easier to see the table.
Well, I have to give it to you.
I can't see any difference between your game & mine. You even have the same pace as I do. We both have areas that we can improve on. Nothing else that I can say.

Hi Tom, thanks you enjoyed it. I did not play good at all last night, did not get over the 3rd rack :( I play long enough so running 2 racks is nothing special for me anymore, sure is for others. I just wanted to share a clip with better quality and sound now but i sure will get bigger runs on tape again, soon.

Keep practicing hard and you will brak your high run soon :wink:
 
Problem Areas

what areas you mean ?




I do believe that we both need to control the cue ball better. Specially setting up for good break shots. At the end of the 2nd rack. You got out of line (too straight) on the break shot to open that 3rd rack. I do the same thing. I end a lot of runs due to those mistakes.
You and as I do are lifting up as you are shooting. Specially on your break shots. Take a look at all three break shots. You are coming up out of your stance as you are hitting the cue ball. The 3rd break shot, I do believe that you are coming up before you make contact with the cue ball.
I hope these points can help you become even a better player then what you are b/c you are a Player. Keep up the good work.
 
i had some kind of miscue as i drew back for the last breakshot. usually i get in real good position for the breakshot. not to be an excuse though :-) I know i get up when i shoot but so do a lot of pros, too..i don´t mind that that much....
 
Lol

b/c = because


Thanks Ratta.
I have to remember when I write things..... LOL

Hey Sascha, I feel the same way about moving up wards, but not until I make contact with the cue ball. Be careful.

Ratta, I was talking to Randy G. about you the other night at my League match. His team was also playing a match.
He said a lot of nice things about you. He spoke highly of you.

I have another video of a 38 ball run, nothing special but this the most i got on tape in 3 days :mad:

will post it as soon as i can

My back really hurts after playing like 20 minutes... i guess i have to take a break for 1 or 2 days and start over again
 
had another 37 as high run today :( still play bad.....hope that changes soon, this sucks !
 
I enjoyed the video

there you go, really hit that last ball bad as i was trying to push the 9 out as a breakshot. Anyway, just playing poorly again at the moment....

Sascha, you looked good. Played the racks well and I can see that you can run racks. Bad miss, but we all do it on balls that we should make.
A part of the game that always needs improvements. Never to lose concentration. It happens on shots that a player takes for granted.
Also, it is very hard to teach yourself not to watch the path of the cue ball. Players must learn not to do it, including myself, although, I am getting better at breaking that bad habit. Bob Vanover once told me that is one of the hardest things to control.
 
had a 43 and a 54 today, unfortunatly the battery was finished at the 54 so 1 rack is missing. I upload it anyway.... i got out of position on the breakshot (this is where the video stopped) so i shot it in the corner and then played that ball in the front row cross side. ran 13 more from there. Well, at least you see 43....

Good shooting. You had a very good practice. I can tell that your stroke is coming back. We 14.1 AZers are all getting better with the help of each other here on AZ Forum.
I had the same trouble with one of my batteries last week or two when I had a 70 ball run, the 4th rack was missing. You got the camera set up in a good place. Easy to see the table. Keep up the good work.
 
Well, i forgot to mention that the last ball on the 2nd Rack wasn´t missed as it comes back into the picture. the pocket was full and i did not empty it before i shot thats all :wink:

the battery of the camera only works for an hour or so...
 
had a 43 today, missed a makeable combo and ran another 28 after it. will upload next week if i don´t get something better....damn, had I made the combo, it would have been 71 again....
