not too bad, I played a guy again that i used to play all the time in straight pool but then he decided to pick the easier guys at out club because i beat him all the time. now he thought its boring to win every time and we played again. I played pretty good in the beginning but not at the end. I broke but scratched, he made like 5, I made 28,25,missed,30 and then 2,10,5...the end sucked but still, 8 innings to 100 is not that bad....how about yourself ? I am waiting for another run from you that has to be commentated by me lol...
Almost...damn !!!
- Thread starter sascha
- Start date
That's good
You got a smile on my face. The best that I done so far is a 57, 56, 53. All the rest were just many, many one to two rack runs. I let the cue ball get away a few times in each of those runs. I know what your commentating would do to that..... LOL and I would deserved it too. Still trying to get a nice run together. Hopefully soon.
I'm glad that you have someone to shoot with. 28, 25 & 30 is pretty strong when it comes close together like that. 83 balls in 4 innings is good.
Keep us posted.

Sascha,
if you re playing such a game (8 innings til 100) and you re still feeling bad..in my opinion all is good
We both know what you re able to shoot- if that is your worst pool....you can be happy!
the next big runs will come soon Sascha, im sure
Myself just doing Equal Offense runs atm-at the end of the training. So atm no serious straight-pool news from here.
take care,
Ingo

Thanks for the kind words Ingo, I am not feeling bad at all, like i said i think it was good shooting, at least the first 3 innings. But it always could be better. I am happy with it cause i know how much worse it could have been also....sometimes i play like 20 balls in 7 innings but then in the 8th inning i run the match out lol...
for myself i think that way : its fine to run out between 6-10 innings in a race to 100 and everything under 6 innings is really strong.
last time i played the guy, he broke, i ran 2, he made 12, i ran 106 & out...now that was strong playing and i believe it was the reason why he played the weaker players for a while then lol...
hrhr^^
big runs are always nice to have/play- but to make constantly runs like you do is hurting each opponent even more in my opinion^^
The game i would call my best had been like this:
14+1 /perfect safety
13+0 /perfect safety
28+0/ perfect safety
14+1/ perfect safety
13+14+2 ran out
100: -1
gave me more than a big run seeing your opponent contantly frustrated can be nice^^

seeing your opponent contantly frustrated can be nice^^had a high run of 41 today, i practiced maybe 30 minutes only because we have beginners training on monday & tuesday. Of course i can´t concentrate when i have 10 guys next to me practicing jumpshots !!!! thats pissing me off ! we have 4 tables in the basement also, they could practice there. good for them and for the others no one gets disturbed. I hope that changes soon otherwise i am not going to play on these days anymore....
You could do better
You could do better if you did not smoke........ bad habit.
Then again, I'm fat and I need to lose weight.
The 60 ball run is nice. Good shooting. The best, I did today was 42 and a lot of 28's.
It is also very hard to do it the way you do and keep shooting at the table after a miss, instead of racking. I do believe that in the straight pool challenge that they are having, they rack after each miss. Isn't that so?
Your way is very good b/c (every player) should be working on a break shots anyways as (every player) are working at making the balls and miss.
As for me, I need all the practice I can get on break shots & coming up with a shot after the break. Almost all those 28's, I either had no shot going into the 3rd rack after the break or I scratched off the rack.
You had a good practice today, keep it up.

well, i should quit smoking and also loose weight again but i am not into any of it now...why should i be working on the break shots ? i have almost the same shot every time and almost never scratch. it´s not that difficult when you know where you hit the rack and how you play the cueball....
You miss under stood
LOL...... I have to remember that your from a different part of the World and certain words in a sentence might be taken the wrong way.
When I wrote:
"Your way is very good b/c (YOU) should be working on a break shots anyways as (You) are working at making the balls and miss." also meaning that a player should have some type of set up for a break shot with the lay out of the table and when he or she misses. They need to keep playing the table.
In this case, You means who ever reading the post. So "You" means (every player) and I do know that I need practice on break shots.
Sorry, you thought that I meant you by your self have trouble. I will be more careful when writing. Now that I looked over the sentence. I can see why you thoght it was You. Sorry.

Well, ran 80 today...and i smoked before i started playing... lol
Funny because i tried to run a big number the last couple weeks and now i got a cold, don´t feel to good and there ya go !
Congrats
80 balls....... Great run my friend. There you go, just keep it coming.
Maybe, one day you can invest in a camera & put it on a tripod. Take it with you when you practice. It would be great to see one of your runs.
Anyways, Congrats on the run again.
