Well, I can finally say that I have run an 8 and out!!

I was playing with my "mentor" this weekend (as we always do!) some one pocket for a few hours. It was about 25 minutes into our day of play (3rd game) and it was my turn to break.

I hit the balls just right, sinking the corner ball into my hole. I then had two easy shots to sink, with perfect shape on the bottom ball in the rack.... only there was a ball in the way. I made the ball on the bottom rack by caroming off of the ball in the way, which broke even more of the rack out. On the carom shot, I drew the CB to the top of the table to continue running out.

After getting this shape, I had 3 or 4 balls out of the rack, and played perfect shape on these. After running out the loose balls, I now had a small, tight cluster in the center of the table, with no obvious shots. I looked at the rack, and it looked rather small......

I only counted 7 balls on the table. I almost did cartwheels in the area!!

I have run 6-7 balls several times, but could never "seal the deal" until this weekend!

Yes, I did have a witness. :D

Congrats Roscoe! Tap tap tap!

Shorty
 
Congratulations Roscoe! I can remember my first and only 8 and out very well, although mine wasn't from the break.
 
Thanks guys!

I've run the 8 only a small handful of times (probably less than 10 times), but this was my first ever break and run.

I'll work at keepin' it comin'! :D
 
Congrats Roscoe ! Running a rack from the snap in 1h isn't very easy.

I remember my first and only 8-out from the break. In fact, it's the only time I've ever made a ball from the break and instantly I ran out the rack ! :confused: :D What made the whole story more impressive is that my opponent had (obviously) the break in the next rack... aaand, you guessed it: He made a ball from the break as well and ran 8-out ! Now, what are the odds for that ? :eek:

I'd say 10-1 that you lost the match. :D
 
Congratulations, Roscoe!

I ran my first 8 in 1 pocket only my 4th time playing. My opponent made a good break shot but I made a really good kick-combo into my pocket, ran the 3 open balls, got good position for a break out and sealed the deal.

I don't know if I'll ever break and run, though. I really am yet to master the break shot. Right now I'm hitting them softer than most, ensuring that I only send a couple out of the pack.

Hey Cue of Fury...since you like to associate yourself with your cues all the time, and now with the "Fury" sold in wait for the "DZ"...why don't you rename yourself on the forum to "DIZZY DUFUS"?
 
What is that, one of your famous colloquailisms? :rolleyes:

I was thinking of something more along the lines of "DZilla"
