How many 10 ball racks have you seen run?
- Thread starter Southpaw
- Start date
I ran 8 one time. It was during the Akron Open Ten Ball division back in '84. I remember it well. I was playing Grady Seasons , race to 11. The score was 2 all and he missed a shot on the stoveleg. I calmly stepped to the table and sank the last 3 then proceeded to break and run the set out. I then forfeited my next two matches and quit the game forever. True story.
I have ran 3 about 4 or 5 times, I have been playing ten ball about 2 months and kinda getting away from it a bit. Someone said they saw me run five in a row but I don't think so maybe 2 then a miss and then 3..........I think on one of the derby city ring games the announcer said he saw 11 ran? I am not sure.......

I haven't watched that much 10ball, as mostly everything I've see has been either 9Ball, One Pocket, Banks, Straight Pool and occasionally 8ball 
The most 10ball racks I've seen being ran, is the 4 pack by Alex Pagulayan, in the DCC ring game, that I posted the links to, in the "Ring Game" thread, and then the 3 pack that I had in a all-round tournament (8ball, 9Ball and 10ball) about 4 years ago

I saw Alex run a bunch playing Dennis at One Side in Manila. I think it was seven racks on a tough Metro table. It was amazing how well he was playing, and he lost the match, a Race To 25.

> I didn't get to see it,but several others saw Alex put 14 together on the tight Diamond at the front of JOB's in Nashville,for the cash against the ghost. He was playing the ghost an 8-ahead for X amount,and was 7 games stuck when he started the string. He missed in the hill game,then finished by running 2 and out. He was counting the money afterwards,and found that he had 1500 in his back pocket that he had forgotten about,and said "well hell,if I hadn't forgot about this 1500 I could have sent it in too". He was also playing the slightly harder version,where anything he made on the break was respotted.
The most I've personally seen was a 7,in a couple different spots,by guys like Cliff,Dennis Hatch,Scotty Townsend,and Larry Nevel,and for whatever reason,almost always in a ring game. Eric Durbin busted out a 6 plus the game he had to run out to get the break in a very large bet per man 7-handed ring game in Memphis one year,the year before he ran the 12 on the bar table playing Hennessee.

Jimmy Marino at the 83 Red's tourney, Houston, Tx.
The night before the tourney, Jimmy, Kim, Flyboy, Danny D. and a few others got a 10 ring game going.
Danny D. missed a 4 ball and Jimmy ran out. He, then, put a 7 pack on them.
Never broke the 8th rack as a drunk with a loud mouth kept harassing everyone. Jimmy just quit and unscrewed.

It was a race to 8 and Alex was down 7-2 and ran the set out. Then won 8-0 the next set. Had to spot all balls made on break too, with no early 10's.

But when playing the ghost, he gets a ball in hand after the break!!!???
It's a bit different than to run out FROM the break 14 straight racks...
I don't know how tight this table was, but for Alex, beating the ghost in 10-ball shouldn't be too difficult, so I'm not getting this at all...
Or did he have to continue everytime from the postion where the cue ball laid after the break?
I saw F. Bustamante do a 7-pack on Efren Reyes in Manila.
Since Alex P. played the ghost he got ball in hand, right?

I didn't get to see the game as I was repairing cues at a pro event tournament many years ago in Atlanta at the Wagon Wheel. The rail birds said the pros were having a 10 ball bar box ring game on the side and local champion Paul Turner ran around ten racks on them.
Johnny Archer ran 8 racks of nine ball at one of those Wagon Wheel tournaments and I did get to see most of that run.

Yeah, he was basically robbing them blind, except for the spotting of balls made on the break, which would make it a lot harder if you make more than one ball. He probably didn't hit them very hard. The table was slow and tight, but not tight enough for Alex at 10 ball. He did lose the first two sets though. I couldn't believe anybody would bet against him. I did'nt stay up to watch him come back, because I new he would.Marvel said:
I had just run 6 straight racks of 12-ball ghost alternating shots with either hand on 4" pockets (no combos, no spotting). I'm sure Alex could do better using his right hand. Ten ball he is stealing, on any table, I'm quite sure. I've got to start gambling when I'm in stroke. That really made me sick.
I ran 4 from the break in 10 ball plus the first rack after outsafing some guy named Reyes once on a diamond pro to turn a 6-2 deficit into a 7-6 lead, never saw more than that... I heard Scotty ran 8 (or 9?) racks of 10-ball in Memphis a couple years ago.
