Keeping track of your long 14.1 run - Billiards-Talk Forums

Bishop · April 2nd, 2007, 12:59 PM

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?

djkx1 · April 2nd, 2007, 02:35 PM

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.

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.

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".
