First BNR

Finally, after about 10 months of playing pool I made my very first 9 ball break&run. What a great feeling this is to me, as I have come very close dozens of times, only to choke on the pressure on the last ball :embarrassed2: Today was the day for me that huge mental barrier came down, as the very last ball dropped down. I dont even remember when I would have been so excited as that moment, it felt so great to finally do what I have been so anxiously trying for some time now :D And to top it off, it came just at right time, on the hill in a race to 5 playing with my fiancee ;) My first 8 ball bnr came in a similiar situation, playing against an older gentleman at the time, leading 4-3 in a race to 5. Sealed the deal in the last rack with a break and run. 8 ball bnr's come every now and then so they dont feel as special anymore, but this 9 ball has been a real pain to overcome for some reason. I'm sure that the 9ball bnr will eventually be just like the 8 is now, another well played rack on the way to the next one, but the first is always the first. The hardest to do, often a moment to remember for the most of us :smile: Share your first bnr's, high runs or breaks and so on if you still recall them, it would be nice to hear these moments of triumph from the fellow AZ'ers :rolleyes:
