Setting A High Run Goal

dmgwalsh said:
Good Work, Dana. Keep popping in 30s and it will become commonplace and comfortable and then you will slip into the land of 50s.



I'm doing the same thing myself. Working on my setup and stroke practice. As you know, I need it much worse than you do.

My numbers have been down lately but my stroke is slowly straightening out. We shall see.

Wilson's book is great.
I want to get to a century in the next year. Previous high is only 57,so my goal is lofty.
 
I changed my user icon today. I hope this helps me run a big number :smile::smile:

<<------ There are my guys.

Got weak tonight playing a lague 14.1 match opened the rack 3 or 4 times and left open tables. Got beat 100-92 ouch.
 
I ran some 20's lately a 35 last week. I got that on video missed a break ball today at 28. GOing to walk the dog now will play some more later. Got a video to post of Pittman's 117 on the 5x10 at DCC last year edited it down last week almost ready maybe I can get that finished up tonight so I can share get a a little feedback. We will see what we can get done today.
 
Playing a little daily right now, it is nice when I get on a run 14+'s are becoming more frequent. A few 30's and 40's no 50+ yet.

I also have the 100 goal. I just ran 49 tonight and choked. I'm kind of wishing I made my pkts a hair bigger. They are 4 5/8 inch which play fair, but not the easiest. Acually, I just need to play better:-).Good luck on your goal, I hope you put up a big number soon!! I will post my 49 tomorrow for some critique hopefully:-).

Thanks. My suggestion to help you get that 100, prior to watching is clean the cloth and balls before you play. Get a ball cleaner if possible or make one. John Schmidt told me that and the balls open so much better after cleaning them

I will look for the video and give you my thoughts. What kind of table and cloth. Good luck,on your run.

Thanks for the tips elvicash,

I don't have a ball cleaner but I have a brand new set of belgian aramith balls and I have been keeping them clean. I am going to get a ball cleaner soon. I have a Gold Crown Three with Simonis 860 blue tournament cloth, and 4 5/8 in. pkts. I will post the 49 right here tomorrow and will look forward to your feedback. This 14.1 thread is awesome!! I really like the idea of being critiqued:-)..

Talk Soon, Mark
 
Played league tonight I was at 105 (-5) opponent goes to 30 (+70) so match is actually to to 100. He runs a 6 pretty early and a couple of 4's He was mid 80's I was only in high teens I run a 27 and miss mid rack after opening the pack. I had a hard time not playing but focusing I was counting his balls and how far he had to go so my mind/mental was in bad shape. I need to toughen up, I actually beat this player the same way but I played super tight then and tried to run balls this time. Bad game management and mental country.

Went down 100-68 learned a little something need to turn that into a positive.
 
Played a match tonight ran a 26 mid match could have been 40 I missed a break ball maybe 10 deg cut it was right by the left front ball of the rack straight int he corner pocket.. I think I to do a punch steer something stupid. Got to let the stroke be the stroke.

The stroke does not aim the ball, Straight stroke through the cue ball to the finish position.

Tomorrow I have another match. I think I will take the camera.
 
2014 has not been a good pool year for me being on the table. Very little play.....

My own fault when it was summer I had some time but other things occupied my attention.

Now it is pool time/season and I have no time, way too much work plus plenty of other obligations.

I really can´t get anybody playing straight pool with me :(

I know it is like that because they are not at my speed.. i had earlier 1 guy here northern Finland who could play same speed and my high run 154 is made against him.

But anyway i will set 2015 goal to get my high run 200.
Have to try video all runs or i get bored to play it always by myself..

that 154 is a fine run, would like to see it post some videos. We will be posting video soon from the upcoming Derby City Classic. i am sure we will have multiple 100+ runs.

2014 was not a good pool year for myself, I had a few 30's nothing much later in the year as I have gotten covered up with work myself. If I find myself in finland I will have to look you up. Wishing you many good runs in 2015.
