You're too young, kid.

Thanks, Bob, as always for your inspiration and expertise. I kept replaying the video at that point because I couldn’t imagine a circumstance in which SVB would turn over the table and give you ball in hand. Mystery solved!

lol

Howdy Dan hope you are well (I might be in your neck of the woods around Jan 8)

Sad as it is, and it’s true, my high in 1P (13 twice) is higher than it is in straight pool.

Cool thread!

Sure. I ran 98 in April of 2019. I was 71 at the time. Practice session, on 9-foot GC3 with 4 3/4 or so pockets.

I think more impressive was my win over SVB in the US Open 14.1 in 2016 when I was 68.

I recently heard that "Preacher" Don Feeney ran 100-some at the age of 95. (It might have been 148, but I'm waiting for confirmation.)

I just watched your match against SVB as I had not seen it before. Nice job! As the commentators mentioned, you looked very much in control of your game towards the end of the match in particular. Shane looked like a Formula 1 car with a bad clutch but you made him pay for his mistakes.

69 yrs old. 88 yesterday. Felt great. First 6 racks went smooth. Decent breakout on 7th. 100 in sight. Got too careful overthinking. Nicked a ball that changed everything. Couldn't get back in line. Got in my own way. Bittersweet.

OK here goes, I am 63 and play 1 day a week (Saturday @ Elite Billiards in Edison NJ) for the non believers come and watch. I don't play for money , my last two regs games/ Friends have went to the Pool Hall in the Sky RIP Gary &Teddy. Looking for a new 14.1 friend. Not every week but pretty regular I catch a gear and run my age sometimes more sometimes less. I just enjoy running racks , giving lessons and learning something new every week.
14.1 Best Game Ever IMHO

Old school straight pool enthusiasts would likely only play non-gamblers unless they could learn from someone better. If YOU want to be the one that learns, you may have to face reality and ‘cough up’ small stakes, at least. Of course, some derive more satisfaction from merely teaching.
