Question

How many pocket billiards players can run 15 consecutive balls or 30 or more balls?

Answer 1

Are you talking about in sequence or just "whichever"...I could probably do the second.....just as long as I don't have to break the rack with the cue ball of the last ball.....just dumping them and then running them....."maybe" the 15 but not consistently......read something about Efren Reyes running 8 racks in a row like this....they asked him what happened on the 9th rack.....he said, he lost the "coin flip" to see who went first....he also won the flip 8 times in a row!!......hope this helps some.....just an above average player...some of these other guys can probably do 30 or more consistent!

Answer 2

Runs of 35-50 balls are not uncommon.

Answer 3

Are we talking about a straight pool run or breaking and running multiple racks of a game like 8-ball or 9-ball?  I know that Earl Strickland once ran 11 straight racks of 9-ball.  The record straight pool run is still 526 by Willie Mosconi.  I wouldn't even want to guess a percentage of pool players whose high run in straight pool is over 30.  It's not as easy as it sounds.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
