runs

[sausage]

i was practicing yesterday and forgot how many racks i had run. lol..... it was either five or six. this led to a distraction and i blew an easy behind the rack break-shot. it matters not however because my focus is on running racks consistently, not achieving a high-run goal. not caring i believe is key to straight-pool success. often good players "choke" because they were too keenly aware of the score.

I Like your thinking !!!!!

alot of times when i shoot with Charlie (Forumghost516) i dont even realize i am on a run until he points it out to me, half the time i cant even count how many balls are in a rack because i am so focussed on the game and the patterns.

Keep up the good shooting !

Agreed...........I use the counter to count racks, but my problem is every time I click the counter I know what my score is. The closer I get to my high run the tighter I play.

I need a personal counter or something, that why I just shoot.......LOL!!!

Either way your 5 or 6 racks is a nice run!!

even the best players lose it when they get worried about the score. that's why i like watching reyes play. he's totally relaxed, all the time.
