Great Run
63 great run. I would say that was the best of all your videos.
You looked to be relaxed and it was your best cue ball control that I have seen from you so far. I do believe that we are all improving.
That last break shot. You hit it good & had some great cue ball movement but it is unbelievable how that cue ball will get stuck or find a pocket to fall into to end runs.
Too bad about missing the 13 ball. I still think back about running 20 and coming up dead with no shot and then running 105. I think that is more on my mind then the 105.
As for skids. I find that when I was chalking my cue. I always cup my hand. This causes the palm of your hand to catch the residue of the chalk. Then while racking the balls, I could feel chalk dust on the balls. It has to be from my hands. So, I stopped cupping my hand while I chalk. I now hold the chalk by the top and chalk. I can tell that the balls feel better and I have stopped the skids on my table by just about a 100%.
I started chalking this new way in my 105 ball video. It works. It takes a little more time to do and it does slow you up but I think I needed to slow up a bit. Try it.

Nice Shootin Sascha !!
at times you had gotten a little eratic, and made some situations alot more difficult than they had to be....But other than that, great shootin !
You got a bad roll to end it, and end up in that position. nice try in trying to recover !
Steve
Again, very nice shooting !
You have a great stroke, and you have a real good sense about how hard to hit secondary break shots... seems that alot of guys will pound them causing alot of seperation with balls in awkward positions up table. when you hit them the balls just move like 2 feet tops.
from what i have noticed, it seems that you work to hard at the end of your racks. and often run into balls late in the game and creating more problems when you dont have alot of options left on the table to get to them. or for having some insurance for when you have to break open those late problems....Just a little too much gamble for my liking !
i am sure you will get to the magic number soon enough. i highly recomend doing some pattern drills. either brainwash or. try to move around the table pocketing balls without touching another ball !
Good Luck, and great shooting again !
Steve
Post up some new threads for your runs. this way we dont miss anything in an old post....Mix it up a little
You were absolutely right my friend ! :wink:
