Another nice run by Marop-88 this time

Anybody have any comments, suggestions, critiques, compliments for poor Bill who has run multiple 50s along with a 67 and an 88 in the past week?
 
All of a sudden I'm having a heck of a time bringing these videos up on VEOH

The program launches but no audio or video. I used the VEOH troubleshooter and it said I had all the codecs needed installed.

Is anyone else experiencing problems? Do I have to wait for a full download or will this stream?

thanks ....
 
Nice run

I watched it and thanks for the link. My run would of ended a couple times before then. Nice bank breakshot. And then I wouldn't even of thought of the off the rail into the stack triple combo two ball. lol. Very creative guy and thanks again for the link. :thumbup:

Try opening it with another browser, maybe Firefox.

The bank breakshot came up due to my lack of cue ball control on the previous shot. LOL. I probably make that bank breakshot 1 out of 10.

The 2 ball was just desperation to keep the run alive, I most likely would of played safe in a match.
 
I will try to watch this later in the week Bill. Congrats on the great playing recently!

Great shooting Bill! I finally got that VEOH program to show the video. No matter what browser I used it wouldn't work from the link to "watch full video". All that happened then was the full screen VEOH comes up with the heading of the video and it loaded and loaded. When it was done .... nothing.

Just under that option was an option to "download to VEOH". That worked fine.

If I didn't know it was an 88 ball run I wouldn't have thought anything was going to stop you. Very nice patterns and ..... the most amazing thing I saw in the entire video was your ability to shoo you wife away without getting wacked with a frying pan.

My wife has a 3rd degree black belt in "rolling pin". I'd never have gotten away with that move. :)

On a more serious note, I'd like to ask you a question. How to you find motivation to concentrate while practicing alone? Was it something you always enjoyed doing or did you have to work on focusing when you were alone?

I have a GCIII in my basement that I really thought might make the difference for me, I went from a cheaper 9' table to it recently, but alas, I go down to practice some and after only 5 minutes or so I find I'm going nuts banging balls. I'd love to find desire or motivation to get good practice time in.

I play a few times a week with a friend and we'll get some 30's and 40s going but I can see your devotion has led to great improvements.

Thanks for the videos!!! :thumbup:

I can only practice at that level if I'm playing straight pool. When I try to practice 9 ball or do drills I lose intrest very fast and than my quality of play drops off. The camara also has helped me stay focused, I keep thinking Schmidt and Dennis Walsh are on the other end of the camara watching every shot. lol. I believe the goal of reaching 100 on video is what is driving me lately.
 
that boys hot

if my little grasshopper bill marop realized how good he is he would be dangerous.
you have entered a new level bill and im stoked for you.
you are my best pal and a very humble guy and its cool to see your game going through the roof .
i knew you had the talent now if i can just get you to see it too.keep it up champ and that 100 on video is just around the corner.
you would have done it already the only problem is your side pockets are as small as most pro players bank accounts.
 
Trying to get it to load on Veoh, I have a feeling I have an old version installed or something.

I watched the 5 minute preview for now, nice shooting so far. The only other time I saw you was the back of your head racking for Mr. Schmidt on his dvd :)

Bill:

I do enjoy going over your runs. I am but a mere hack, but hopefully I can learn a little by watching what you and your mentor and others do.

Now hit a century on video before DCC a few times.

and fix those side pockets.
