straight-pool lover
L&G, I run 101 at last nights training session.
It's been 20 years that I had some runs close or above 100 and I thought it was all over. Now at the age of 55 I did it again.
I want to thank all of you who post Vid's of the Greats. I watched most of them and could allways learn some and raise my motivation. As I said, my last 100 was back in the late 80's. And of cource I got a 100 handed to me by Sebastian Staab in 2007. I had a couple of 70,s this year and never thought I could do the 3 digits again, but now I know that I can.

I which you a happy and healthy 2011 and may your dreams come true, mine has.
 
Hi Wolfgang,

gratzs for your self-made x-mas present :p
This just shows that you can play excellent pool in the *later* decades- and if you re lucky enough to be really fit...you ll be able to play great pool even for many many years,

wish you a Happy New Year my friend,

Awesome!!!

That's awesome news, Wofgang! Congrats on the 101, my friend. How did it end? Scratch, a miss, no break shot? I'm really happy for you and soooo look forward to a triple digit run of my own!

I just turned 50 this past week. Now I have a goal, 5 years countdown to running a 100!

Great to see that it can be done. I hope just to hit 50 one day. Congrats on your achievement, it gives me hope and something to shoot for.
 
how it ended

when I realized that I could reach 100, a good breack to 92 and 9 open balls, I made the open Balls and didn't really try to break the remaining cluster. After the 101 and a poor break of the remaing 5 I was left with a talble-lenght thin cut, allmost made it... and went for instant celebration:smile:. oh yes, it feels good.

With the eye-sight getting bad (spacial glasses), a hurting back (altered stance) and fading stamina (short breaks in between, to get back to the tasks ahead) I had to have a little luck in some situations.

My goal for 2011 is to work on my 20+ year old high run of 144.

to all the older ones... experiance is our unlimited source

and sorry, I wrote X-mas wrong
 
great, congratulations! Now you have a new goal to set for 2011! HNY (happy New Year)!
