well, they can't take the 55 away from you.
I was kind of surprised at the breakshot at 28. I was thinking you would place the cue ball close to parallel with ob. you had it way straighter than that and had to put a real good draw shot on it. the draw worked almost too good but you were able to work your way out of it just fine.
I am kind of become a believer in trying to do it right, but if it gets done wrong so be it.

Yeah, like I said in the video, this was one of those runs where nothing went right. The cue ball would roll too short or too far, and if it weren't for my shotmaking ability, it might have been a 25 ball run. I almost scratched on that break ball - I think if I would have went parallel with it, the ball might have skidded - so I decided to go with a straighter shot to make sure I made it.
In the last rack, you see I got a good dead ball to develop out of merely tapping the stack on the break. That is another reason I didn't try to blast them out. Just prior to this I ran a really smooth 28, but sprayed the break ball (the story of my life). Because of that I started playiong conservatively.
I'm going through one of those periods where I'm not running a lot of balls very often - that happens and its the pool Gods telling me that I need to either work harder, or not try so hard. Its all about finding that balance that gets lost in figuring which one I need to do.
