How Often Can You Run This?

I am a lowly 464/202 Fargo
It is not “Too” hard but it is definitely challenging. I have tried Some of Neils and this one.
Tried this one last night on my 9’ Diamond, 1/5 but!!! 3 of the 5 I got to the 8 and 9. The really hard part for me is the 7-8 and the 8-9 and is what I am focusing on now.

All of a sudden no one owns a video recording device anymore.
Folks,
The way I diagrammed the drill was that the balls are about a balls width off the rail. Or a hair more. So somewhere around 2.5" to 3" off the rails.

I do, but If I posted myself successfully doing it, DCP might sell all his tables.
If this is your criteria for acceptance then just consider me a liar. For there is nothing in my DNA that requires me to prove anything to the internet.
Where was your video? I searched the thread and did not see it…
Wow you sound hurt. I wasn't even speaking to or replying to you, but if the shoe fits...
I never gave an opinion on this drill, just reading everyone's comments saying how hard or easy it is. I have no dog in the fight, why would I need to upload a video of me doing it? I've never even tried this drill before.
All I'm saying is I respect iusedtoberich's input because it is accompanied by video.
Hurt is an interesting word. You infer as you will. Since this is a public thread, my assumption is that you are speaking to all in the thread unless you directly quote a member. Either way I would have guessed by your participation in the thread that you were also shooting the drill. My bad…
Sjm participated in this thread, do you think he's trying to run this drill? You can't be that dense.
I see, ad hominem arrives.
Be well.
Be well.

as a learning tool I'm not sure freezing them all the time is the best way to go. A little off the rail you know entirely how you hit it, if it doesn't touch a rail going in, you hit it right. Frozen is sure tougher though. That's the way Bert set it up.

Here is my 10-5 win on a Diamond Barbox with pro-cut pockets. WAY easier than a 9' GC with 5" pockets. It's edited to only show the shots. Coins are keeping score.
Great bankshot sequence starting at 5:32 to keep the run alive.

Tried it today and videoed it, but not too good… 1 for 3. In baseball hitting .333 is good, but it’s not going to win the money in this brutal sport. I’ll work on it. Just gettin out of position too much.
The table specs: 9 ft Anniversary with Mark Gregory pro-cut rails (4.5 pockets), 860HR cloth about 3 years old.

Beautiful table.
Thanks!
nice going lawnboy. yes your position isnt great but maybe you are too tight as you are not relaxed, so try shooting quicker without the buildup of tension which you probably dont even realize.
and your draw stroke isnt firm and low enough so you are not getting the action. and then tend to decelerate occasionally.
but you are a good player. just too tight.

Thank you sir! And I will work on it!

Not sure if you're familiar with the original star system Bert did.
He had you start with the 3 pointed star meaning just one end of the table with 3 balls. He then moved to 4 balls, just the side rails.
You then moved to just going back and forth between the two end rails. Once you felt competent with each component he had you move to all 6 balls.
He then went to the 9 pointed star which added 3 balls, one on the foot spot, one on the head spot and one in the middle of the table, start with just the 3, no balls on the rails and get comfortable with that component.
I thought it was a great system. If you could set the 9 balls up randomly, run in the rotation leaving the last and set up randomly again that was saying something. I never could but working on it did help my game.
