Bar Box straight pool

In my humble opinion A 9ft goldcrown would be easier to play on in comparison to a valley bar box, if you have run 71 on the tavern table it's a matter of time in that you clear 100 points on a real pool table. Bar box is more of a cueball game than it is a shotmakers game, breaking out a cluster so that another cluster developes due to lack of space is a little redundant I think. Because of the clusters and cramped space the tavern table does offer some additional challenges. But the bottoom line here is pocket billiards is a game of pocketing balls, and if a long shot is considered cuing up for a five foot shot then to me that is not pool. But if that was all I had to practice on I probably would.

Thanks Danny. You don't have to be humble. I am a big fan of yours. I remember when you beat Tony Drago in the IPT event not too long ago. I agree that it's not the same on a bar table as a 9' but it is what it is. Congrats on your documented 280. WOW man. Another great accomplishment by a great player. Thanks for your feedback in regards to my run. One day I will post a nice run on a 9' table (I hope). Anyways, thanks for the comments.

Wow.

Honestly, I didn't think a barbox would allow a run of 71. That was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks cyco. Honestly, I've been trying to beat that run but I can't yet. So, maybe your on to something.
 
71 on a barbox is VERY nice

Mario eckert has a high run on his 7ft "fisherprice table" like we call it, of 131.
I dont think he has run of 100+ on a 9ft. No idea if the 9ft is harder or not, maybe its just because he practices on a 7ft 10x more often then on a 9ft, but any run above 70 on a 7ft is a very nice result and makes 75% of the posters jalous of your skills :D

What where the pocket sizes?

good luck m8 and thanks for the video !!
i'll be watching it several times in detail and see if i can pick up some good tips for my own game.
