Playing 10-ball last night!!:D

It just seemed like everything was clicking perfectly. I was stuffing the cueball on the break, and the balls were opening up great.
The poor guy I was playing got upset and quit after the fifth rack. Too bad to. A couple of nights ago he was saying he wanted to play some better players to help him bring out his game since he had been slumping.
I just had to share. This is a new feat for me. My best playing 9-ball is a 7 pack, and 8 ball is a four pack.
Feels great when you improve upon a personal best!:D
 
That's a STRONG run. Just making a ball on the 10B break five times in a row is a tall task. You have my respect.
 
Nice!

Use that memory when playing poorly sometime. It helps me, anyway.

That is quite a feat, congratulations.

How do you like breaking a 10 ball rack? I actually like it as long as the balls are frozen, and it seems like it's easier to get a good rack compared to 9 ball. Do you use a side rail break? Do you try to position the 1 ball?

No, I don't use the side-rail break. I normally break from the lower right hand corner of the table, about half way from the right side rail to the middle of the table, and about one diamond up. I guess it would be pretty close to breaking from the lower right hand corner of the box.
I was getting two or more balls on every break. I dropped five on one break.
However, I have a pretty strong break shot. Just ask Poolsponge. He'll tell you how I break!! It's gotta be the Gulyassy J/B I got, and installed a white diamond tip on!!:D

I'm heading to the room today to see if I can capture some of that magic on video!!

Congrats Cheez Dawg... can't wait to rack for you the next time your down this way! You should join in that new Thursday 9 ball league. You can be on my team bud :) I can always get rid of Poolsponge :) LOL.

It would be nice to see a video - hope we do. By the way, that's where Shane and Corey were both breaking from in their match. Seems like 10 ball favors a big break even more than 9 ball.

There goes the theory of playing better players to improve your game.

Wow. I feel the love there Snorks. I thought you were kidding in your email about cutting me up. Guess I should have known better.

Alright CheezDawg, now I guess I need to head up and see you next week. I look forward to seeing a 6 pack!

The theory is solid, CheezDawg just teaches like a university professor...you stay in your chair quietly and take notes. :D

I really did enjoy meeting so many players from Canada, they were all great people to joke around with. The only thing I knew about Canadians before Las Vegas was Gulyassy jump/break cues, and the rock band Loverboy. All of them were fun to be around and vvery good pool players. My game stepped up a few notches, and I went all day after a while getting used to the tables (a Thursday) missing only two shots.

On the whole, we are fun.:)
 
Hey Nice job on the 5 pack of 10ball!!!

yea its always funny how guys say they want to play better players, but then go running away when the guy catches a gear, or 3!!!!!!

I had a similar situation a few months ago when I was still playing 24-7. I had did some cheap sets with a guy, on a 9ft Diamond procut. Well we were kinda going back n forth, and i ended up comming out the winner.

Well the guy was like HEY, you better hold onto that money, cuz we are going to play again! Well after a few weeks passed and the guy didnt say anything about playing, i just forgot about it.

Now the guy I played is a BB/A- player, here i am a simple C to C+ player. But I play better on a 9ft.

Anyways, I was just having one of those days where everything when my way.

The next time we ended up playing which was about 3 or 4 months later, same table, and stuff. I got SMOKED!! I mean said, guy was running out from everywhere! He just didnt miss at all. I think I won maybe 5 games in sets going to 5.

After 4 sets, I said I was done and paid up. I was like WTF did you eat today lol. I mean both of us kinda laughed about how he just didnt miss at all today.

But it was actually nice playing someone who was that on. Because I knew if i didnt run out, or play a lockup safe, I was going to lose the game.
