Video Contest (17): Run Out This 9-Ball Rack and Win a Fun Shirt !

Wow, I'm never going to try to capture and upload video from my phone again. First, it's grainy, but hopefully clear enough to see what I'm doing. Second, it's in a proprietary format, I tried to download 4 video converters to get it into a more normal format so I could edit out the garbage and failed attempts, 1 didn't work, 1 came with a virus that I cleaned up, 1 took several hours and never finished, and one (Prism) finally worked. Probably spent 4 - 5 hours total for 2 minute video, there has to be a better way...

Anyway, here's the video. I never did try following the 1 down to the end rail for the 2, drawing over to the side rail just seemed pretty consistent for me. Once you get from the 2 to the 3, unless you fell real funny on the 5 the rest of the rack was fairly easy, just get from the 6 to the 7 (straight back or across table) and you are home free.

Here's the link:

This was my first time doing this, and I will keep doing these in the future just for fun. I tried it about 15 times, ran out the second time but it was ugly, then made some dumb mistakes etc. All in all ran out about 5 or 6 out of 15 attempts, 2 or 3 the way I wanted to more or less, but I learned more I think from the failed attempts. Thanks for doing these!!!

Hi Scott:

Please also register to cuetable and post to the official contest page: http://talk.cuetable.com/showthread.php?p=3484 This way we can see everyone's videos and layouts at once :)
 
Did that too, thanks!

Edit: Well, I DID post the link and another description, but I just checked and it's not there. I posted as a guest, maybe that was the problem. I'll register and redo it, thanks for letting me know!

Would any instructors like to comment on this layout and advise a few things that students should be watching out for?

Randy / Steve / Scott / Bob / Mike / Neil?

I finally got the video off my phone to the computer. The quality is poor and I ran outta shape on the 5. I had to scramble from there. Not how I would like to run this.

If you played the five in the corner you would have been fine. Good shooting though. Getting out is key and you fired right out of it :)

BTW, that is one big pool room you have. I hope you are tossing in a 7 footer next to your 9... Or maybe a 10 footer :thumbup: You will need to post pics when you get her done.
