Run this rack and win $100 >>>

Way to go Daniel. Great shooting. I'd frame the $100 with the print out of that diagram if I were you. Congrats.

I'd photocopy the 100 and frame it with the print out, then go spend the 100. :)

Great out Daniel. I was so concerned with trying to break out the 4-7 with the 1 ball shot that I didn't even see the opportunity to break it out with the 2 ball shot. Was a great chance to remind myself to think of ALL options and not have tunnel vision.

Thanks again!
 
I think this must be karma. Daniel has been putting in a huge amount of time promoting billiards. I can't think of a more deserving winner.
 
Thanks to Chris Santana of 'Fast n' Loose Designs' for putting up this challenge.

I am a big supporter of Chris's work. He is a truly talented graphics designer and a pleasure to work with.

I can't wait to get a calendar too.

Nice job shooting.

It didn't look like the pdf file had enough room to go from the 2 to the cluster. Looking at the actually table on the video, it seems there is more room (and it looks like the balls were accurately placed as well).

I think the diagramming software for the layout is a 7 foot table, that is why it looks so much more cramped to me.

Wish I had a video camera or a fancy phone! 1 ball in the left corner, spin two rails staying below the 3 and bump the 4. Then the rack is open and sitting pretty easy. Ran it my 2nd and 5th try and I'm only an A. I'm sure by now someone has won the 100. Cool challenge.

Edit: Just read the thread and saw the video, nice job Daniel.

Nice job Daniel and great video to show that all the balls were in place as diagrammed. Treat yourself and Barbara to a nice dinner. It will taste twice as good.

It's illegal to photocopy money. Infact, just scanning or photocopying can sound off alarms with todays technology. Even photoshop can recognize monetary images, so beware.
 
Here's my video.Its not a pretty out but I did it....I think:smile:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BjQgeJL8Iw&feature=youtu.be

Awesome video, man. Props for the editing, titles, and definitely the music. Even though the challenge was completed by Daniel Busch (see previous comments), I'm gonna send a free t-shirt your way. Shoot me an email and I'll show you what I've got. Thanks again, and good runout!

Yes, there will be more challenges, once a month. Today I will post up the second one, since the first one was solved too quickly (which is ok but I wanted to get more interest).

The only way to see today's Challenge Rack is to visit and "like" the fast&loose designs Facebook page and keep an eye open for when I post the diagram. Visit www.fastnloosedesigns.com and the link is on the right. Good luck guys!

Actually my whole run went pretty much as planned.The break out in my opinion has to be done on the first shot.After that you take what you get on the leave.There's a lot of back and forth in the run out,getting straight in(on a 9ft with tough pockets) on some of the shots will pretty much kill your chances of getting out.(played for the center table for the angle)I have a poll also that causes me to shoot for a certain part of the table.I think the hardest part was from the(playing shape from the 5) 6 to seven.The 8 kept hooking me so I decided just to give myself an angle on either side of it.
Its a pretty good run out drill try it.

Great job Daniel! Doubly great if that's an Olhausen table...known for being difficult when it comes to rail shots.
