Okay, it's not really, but so far this year, I've had at least 4 runs in the 40s (the highest being 48). It's a little frustrating to say the least since I've only run over 50 once. I think once I finish 3 racks I start to get a little tight and I start getting nervous. I think I need to watch some more 14.1 matches or something... maybe that 199 Harriman run! :p

maybe once you get through the 2nd rack, you need to step away. drink some water. wipe off you cue and hands and most importantly clear your head for the new set of problem solving for the up coming 2 racks. I do this and i really feel that it helps.

good luck, and let us all know how it works out !

Yeah, Steve, what the heck *are* you doing?!? Feeding the hand that bites Mikie? :p

Seriously, congrats to Samiel for his *consistency* in achieving 40-ball runs. Put a good safety in between those 40s, and that's what wins league/tournament matches.

Thanks guys! It's funny how it's usually something small that ends the runs... a little too straight on a ball, a small cluster that's been hard to break up, no great break ball, etc. It's amazing how hard it is to focus for 10/20/30 minutes at a time.
 
We'll be playing our match soon I'm sure Mike! The sad thing is... in league I haven't run over 19 yet! In my match against Larry, I would have won a race to 100, but once I hit 100, I couldn't get more than like 10 balls in like 10 innings! :(
