I have often addressed this forum with various difficulties I have had with the game. Today, I would like to share a positive landmark development.

I successfully broke & had some balls hanging on the lips of 2 pockets. I made a strategic decision to leave these pockets blocked & draw first blood on a difficult shot on the far end of the table. The rest was like an out of body experience. Thank you for your help.

i hope this leads toward many more break and runs ... it will be a lot of fun for you when you do this at a tournament or in league ... keep up the good work ... h.p.
 
I remember my first break and out. I maintain that I was very lucky. I didn't really know how to play shape at all, so I just kinda stumbled through the rack, thankfully I always had a shot. I still don't know how the 8 ball went in, I thought I had missed it pretty bad. Forgiving pockets I guess.

Good job, I don't remember my first 8 ball break and run, but it's interesting to note it came a long time after my 1st break and run at 9 ball.

Keep up the good work.
 
ahhhhh i have just relived my nightmare, earlier today i had a break and run in 9 ball, then i slaughtered the next break, made 4 balls and left myself hooked behind the 9 with the 2 in the middle of the table, i jumped and pocketed the 2 , everything in the open now 4,5,7,9 , i get to the 7 and leave myself perfect shape and angle for the 9 ball , and i missed it , straight into the bag, i thought i had the 2 pack in the bag, but tweaked!!
i have yet to make my first 2 pack but i will let you know when i do!!!
 
Were your hands shaking ? Did you feel the rush of adrenalin? Better'n drugs. Now you are hooked . A true pool hall junkie !
