Keeping track of your long 14.1 run
 
I actually never kept track before. I had a nice 21 ball run yesterday so I'm going with that as my all time high. I'd like to break 30....sadly I don't play this game very often.

Whats your guys high runs?

I rarely play it either, but I'v been trying to do more of it lately. Its a great all around skill game. My high run is 57.

Bishop April 2nd, 2007 02:56 PM

Thats the thing for me......most of the people I play don't even know the game exists. I spend most of my time playing friends and family in 9-ball and 8-ball. I'd almost rather play 14.1 than anything else.

Probably 25-30 once. I had a long binge of straight pool with my friends. It's a great game.

Talk about a glowing endorsement of the magazine. :rolleyes:

Perhaps if you would use a "gentleman's" magazine for packing, your orders would go through the roof.

Way back in them ole days when i was still young and had a good set of eyes, i once ran 37 in 14.1. We also played a similar game, but instead of racking at 14. you would line up you balls after your turn was over in a straight line from the head spot. I'm not sure what we called it but was something like call shot continous. Anyways i ran 53 that way.

I used to play more 14.1 in college than I do now. My high run back then (10-12 years ago) was in the high 70's. I tried to top that recently and I couldn't break into the 60's. I'm weakest on the break shot so I typically stop at 42 or 56.

If I play a lot of 9B, I find 14.1 difficult due to over-stroking everything. I need to consciously "turn off" my stroke and carefully plan my pattern to minimize CB movement.

Wasn't it Mosconi that said "there are two ways to play. Slow and Slower".

He did say that when having an off day, he would speed up his play and he would invariably play better.
