High run in one pocket

one pocket

Seemed to remember Ronnie Allen ran 10 or 11 one handed . Ithink Keith might know .Maybe Jam can answer.
 
Playing a guy 11-4 and went 11 and out from the break. Did that a couple of times.

In a game where I was playing 12/7 I broke and made a ball on the break then ran eleven more. He said to keep shooting and then I ran the remaining three balls.
On the next game I again made a ball on the break and then ran 13 more for a total of 29 balls continuously. To me the amazing part was making a ball on the break in back to back games.
 
(this isn't that difficult for champion players, especially if they........

Here's the link of running 29 balls in one pocket using the 'Touch of Inside' technique. I think this is the most balls run in one pocket on video....maybe I'll try for 43 next time. :wink: (this isn't that difficult for champion players, especially if they know the "inside secrets")

CJ Wiley - 29 Balls in One Pocket Video


Just curious what others high runs in one pocket are. In an actual game I mean.

My previous high run was 10 and out from -2 playing even about 6 months ago. Just today I beat that and ran 12 and out from -1. Even though it was a freak accident, I'm pretty excited about this!

Let's hear it! Don't be shy!

I think C.J. Wiley ran 87 balls once and actually had the good fortune to have someone record it for posterity...or was it 29 balls? Can't never tell with CJ.

In 2010, I ran 11 and out on the owner's son of Ultimate Billiards in Ft. Pierce, FL! He told me to try and run the other 4, I did, for a total of 15! The son's name was Mike Mallon, pretty good young player for central Florida.

A few years ago a great player/instructor from my area named Fred McCann ran two full racks into one pocket with witnesses. So 30 balls. Wish I was there to have seen it.
 
15-and-out, in an actual game with the traditional one pocket break.

I actually had to run 10 for this particular spot / match-up. But after my opponent sold out badly after the break, I'd run the 10, looked over at my opponent, who said, "hey, just for grins, try running the rest." And I did.

It's my best single-game one pocket run in an actual game -- all 15 balls without spotting. (I'd done it in practice with a gaff break, but that was the first time in an actual game using the traditional one pocket break.)

Allen Hopkins used to wager he could run all 15 balls in one pocket

Allen Hopkins used to wager he could run all 15 balls in one pocket with 4 tries. I'm not sure how many he'd take to run 30, but I'd bet he could do it within 4 hours.

I was practicing straight pool a few months back, as I was running out, I got on my break ball nicely. After pocketing the break ball and opening the rack, I started pocketing balls. After 6 balls in the same hole, I tried to get the whole rack into one hole! I finished that rack and broke the balls and got 8 more! So I guess I've got a 22! But I don't remember what I did the rack previous to starting it! I think I did pocket a couple but I never could remember, so I stand at 22!

It was a total freak, but it was a lot of fun! Although the miss I'll never forget! A simple bank shot, had to pound it a bit to get real good position to get a few more,,,, I rattled it!
 
When I was a teenager I read the rules to one pocket and a friend and I decided to try it. I mainly played 8 ball at the time, so I was pretty good at making a ball on the break in the corner pocket, so I broke and ran the first game of one pocket I ever played. I no longer gamble so I never had a reason to run over 8 balls which I have done many times.

liakos and cueman:

Nice runs, but those would be considered "gaff" breaks (i.e. not a typical game-opening one pocket break).

Allen Hopkins (and CJ, in his nearly-two-racks video) use a gaff break when going for one pocket "runs" like this, but that's not what you'd do in a typical game.

Methinks the OP is asking for what one did in an actual game, against an actual opponent.

-Sean <-- run of 15

My run seems to be similar to yours, except I ran 11 and out, and then proceeded to run the other 4! Jus sayn!

While gambling, I ran a 5 and out once and then broke the next game, made one on the break, and ran 8 and out. So 13. For the cheese .
