I've been trying over the past couple of weeks to get a video of a break and run out but I just can't seem to do it. I guess they don't happen for me very often! Anyone else been trying and failing?

So, instead of posting a complete run-out, why don't you post a miss (or several) and see if someone can give you a suggestion on what to improve so that you can make a run
I haven't been trying but I have problems breaking and running also. Usually about one every couple of nights.
I ran the 9 ball racks I posted in the thread kinda easy. Almost too easy, really surprised me. I tried for three hours the other night to get an 8 ball break and run recorded and just could not get it at all.
Im going to try again tonite for the 8 ball rack and post it in this thread: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=31730&highlight=break+video

LMAO.. atleast somebody else feels my pain. It's really not all that uncommon of an occurrence to break and run a rack for me, but I'll be damned if I can do it with that video camera running.
I was on my way to being out a few days ago and was interupted by my g/f mid rack.. LOL I shrugged it off at the time.. Well I finally got some really open racks again and in the middle of my run outs everytime when I get on the 6 ball etc.. All of a sudden I hear the ole "DAVE!!!! ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE OUT THIS TRASH?" or "DAVE!!! CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SECOND?" I almost flipped out last night when it happened twice.. LOL I asked her how she knew exactly to the second when would be the most oportune moment to yell at me..

You just need more practice at the game, as do most of us.
I just watched the Jim Rempe 100 ball run video and it taught me quite a bit. He gets out of trouble with some excellent shooting and finding dead balls. I guess before you start the video camera, you need to practice, practice, practice. Playing against someone else is a great way to find your mistakes.

Why not break and take ball in hand. Thats still shows some good skill
I noticed in a lot of videos, and I kinda did the same for mine, that they taped each run-out or attempted run-out individually. If you're doing this it might be a better idea to leave the camera running as long as it can. Oh and try not to look good on the vid, just play.
