Run 27

My humble personal best on video so far, just 27 balls, but getting better all the time, and reaching for the next goal of 50, then 100.

I had just finished a couple of hours of practice, doing the PAT level 2 drills, and had a few minutes to try some straight pool. This was the first go at it.

This video was edited to fit withing the 10 minute limit for YouTube, so some spots were removed where I was taking some time to think, and the racking was removed, but other than that, this is the way it happened.


Video recorded on location at FastMikie's Fun House, Del Mar, CA.

principles great players use: clear a path to the two front corner pockets and pocket the majority of balls in those 2 pockets, leave a ball along the front rail to shoot when you have nothing else and avoid getting trapped behind the rack, Sigel keeps a "key ball" in the rack area to play for position on the break shot

Yes, good catch! Good thing it wasn't a competition!

Thanks for pointing it out.

twisted your cue on the 3:03 shot. that could be a sign of a lack of confident or having doubts. perhaps should study more about the current shape and the likely outcome before the shot. well that's for myself.

nice development on the ten in first rack

You need to figure out which ball is the break ball a lot earlier: they real key to Straight pool is having the last 4-5 balls all figured out where position is just as easy as the shot.
