The start of an interesting journey or "at least I'm better than that guy"

On a less serious note, I'm gonna file this under "thank god for small favors"

You guys making me laugh~

I played another session and a half today. 16,2,1,2,7,7, 14,10,6,5 and 3,7,12,14,2. That's a 6.6 avg. Not bad I guess, but I need more consistency for sure.

OK I played 2 rounds, the table was a 9' Gold Crown II generous pockets perhaps 4 5/8 - 4 3/4 Simonis Green 860

Round 1 - 19,0,18,6,10,3,0,19,3,4 - 82
Round 2 - 20,20, 18,11,7,7,20,18,14,10 - 145

227 Avg 11.35

I should have had some better numbers but went brain dead a couple of times on the first round. This game is a good extension of straight pool you need to fix the problems early. Then pick your five final balls as early as possible for sure before you get down to the last five.

Hello all. I have been lurking around for a while and now I decided to drop in. I have only in the last couple of months decided I really want to start playing seriously. I was thinking if I assume I do ultimately grow it would be neat to have a log of hard and fast numbers to somewhat show said growth. Figured someone else might be interested either as encouragement for themselves or just something for them to laugh at.

I did the full 50 innings of the q skills test and I will attempt to do another 50 each month as time permits and update this thread with the results. I will either demonstrate skill growth, my complete ineptitude, or at least why you shouldn't feel so bad about your own playing speed (remember at least your better than this guy).

Total score: 104
Average per inning: 2.08
Raw numbers: 3,3,1,4,0,1,2,-1,4,0 ][ 3,2,5,5,2,3,8,4,2,2 ][ 3,1,5,1,0,4,3,3,5,-1 ][ 1,2,1,1,2,4,2,3,0,4 ][ 1,2,0,0,0,1,1,0,2,1

If you can videotape your practice, I think it's a great help.
