Feeling 100

[mnorwood]

I have always been a workaholic and devoted family man. However, I have had a job change where my stress level is gratefy reduced and my kids are grown now. Incidentally my wife loves the fact that I’m chasing a life goal of a 100 ball run. I turn 50 in April but in good shape physically. I have been turning more of my focus in on straight pool. For many years my high run was 55, last year I ran a 67 and the other day I hit 75. Runs in the 30s are more frequent now. I feel a 100, I feel it more now than ever. I picked up a wall mount for my camera and hope to catch it on camera. I just need to get hard with my discipline in correct practice and he honest with myself with what I need to work on.

You can do it. maybe start taping and post on here and we can give feedback? If you can run 50, you can run 100. I finally ran 100 last year. Ran 113. Highest run since then has been 86. I am 54 now. Without watching, my only advice is to play within yourself. I can't crush break shots like Filler, so I don't try to usually. Also, try not to just run into balls. Don't give up. Easy to do. Goals aren't easy. You have hit 75, so 100 makes sense. If you hadn't, I would say set a lesser goal. Good luck. Brian

Good luck....
100 balls is not easy at all.
During my youth.
Getting past 2 racks was not easy then 40 was the first hurdle and 50, then I started doing allot in the 80's.
Later on when I did run 100, I never cared to pocket any more/why?
Because, I always won that game, never even cared to continue/I was bettin' my college money and wanted to play again.

Best of luck.

That was my goal also. I topped out at 93 (and a few 80s), but I was playing well enough at the time I am certain 100 was around the corner. Then life interfered with my pool playing and I stopped playing for close to 30 years (I'm 66 now). I just started playing again, but I still don't have the time to really work on it. The sad part is that I think I have more knowledge now. So if I could recover my pocketing and feel I'd be even better, but my eyes are shot, my nerves worse and concentation worse. It's probably too late for me, but you have a good shot at it given your progress. Don't give up,
