I have but have not run 100...
I have only played straight pool a real limited number of times.
Maybe I need to play it some more as practice?

A few times
More times on a bar table than a 9 footer, but I have done some 6's and 7's on them. Now I play mainly on the bar tables for league. On the bar tables I have run 9 a couple of times. My best accomplishment was in a race to 7 tournament after laying deathly ill on my couch for 2 days, I drove 2 and a half hours, won the flip my first set and ran 7 and out. 3 of my friends were sitting there watching and would not say a word to each other until the set was over. Bar table 8-ball, I ran 8 racks at $20 a game. Sam

I didn't read all of the posts in this thread but I'm sure there's some world beaters admitting to running numerous racks though. My personal best in 9 ball is 7 racks, from the coin flip, for $300 a set, at Hard Times on tight ass pockets. Other than that, I probably have a few 5's, but I'm just guessing at that. I never played enough straight pool to have a clue as to how to play it, and like I mentioned in the other thread, my high run is only 39. I think if I played enough of it, I'd run 500-600 balls after a month or so. Yeah right! Peace, John.

I got seven once but they werent true break and runs I ran 4 out made a 9 on the break and a combo once. It was on a 8 footer though and if you believe that you are as crazy as most of these people on this boared. My best breaking and running without combos and no bullshit was a 4 pack on a super tight 9ft table 4inch pockets.drivermaker said:I have no doubts in my mind!! All I want to know is did you do it all by feel or use an aiming system or two to help out?

I've ran 5 racks in a row twice in 9 ball on a tight 9 footer. Although most of the time it is 2 or 3 racks in a row.
I've ran 5 racks in a row in 8 ball on an 8-foot bar table with an oversized cb. But that was 20 years ago and I've never came close to that since then.

not me
I'm just a small timer!!!
3 racks of 9-ball
3 racks of 8-ball
48 ball run of Straight pool
12 ball run at one pocket (thats my favorite personal mark - 8 and out, ball on the break on the next rack + 3 more)
A thread about all the racks I "should have" run and dogged it is needed. I think I could be right up near the top of that

my high run in 9 ball is 2 racks on a loose 8 footer..i still have plenty of years and work to do
i ran 5 once......and i have 2 3packs. Funny thing was i had been up all night......no sleep and i was practically out on my feet, figured i wouldnt be able to shoot at all and strung together 5 like it was nothing.....then got to thinking about it and it was all over lol

I've read 90% of this thread and no girls have mentioned their mad skill, so I felt compelled to post -- I ran 6/5 racks once and four racks at least half-a-dozen times. I also ran five racks in 8-ball twice. The first time I ever ran five racks, I had to kick the one ball in to stay at the table in the fourth rack and it was so flush!
Ciao,

> My personal best is 7 racks,breaking and running,on an 8 foot Gold Crown,while gambling. I've had 8 5 rack runs in my 14 years of playing,most were on 8 footers since that is what is most common here. On a bar table playing challenge table 8-ball,my high is 4 racks. The only time I've ever ran 5 racks on a 9 footer though,was at the 2000 U.S. Open,practicing with Eddie Adams,on the same black Gold Crown the finals were played on that year. For the record as well,my high run in 14.1 is 114,but might have ended earlier if Grady,who was working with me that week,had not spoke up before I shot a ball out of the stack that wasn't dead,but looked it. Grady,not to be shown up,ran 211 on his next inning. Tommy D.
