Yes for sure. I was playing my youngest son and my partner, they where taking two shots to my one. They left me in the balls and I ran five blacks and two blues. The minute they left I posted it on the TSF and text Cliff. Cliff called me around midnight the same night to talk about it and to make sure I never forget that moment because that moment will happen again and maybe you will look for more balls to free up next time. I ran out of reds in the open and that was the end of my break, 52 I just made it.

This reminds me of the Abraham Lincoln quote.

Practiced the new routine for a little while, managed to do 2 in a row (4 reds, 4 blues) so far. Very nearly got 3 in a row but missed a red by a fraction while getting perfect position on the blue.

Wasn't filming during my practice. I'll try to get a video up some time this week.

It's a great routine I managed five (30) yesterday and today my best was three (15). I seem to come up with a dead in blue after first red which makes your second red tough with a rest. Maybe the five I did the other day will be my best. There where no recovery shots every shot was perfect until my last one when I come up short on the blue. I will try it tomorrow night. I have X-rays and Ultra sound tomorrow afternoon on my shoulders and elbow.

It would be if I got paid well.

Hi guys just a little update. I just had a chance to start practicing so I thought I would go back to previous challenges and just see how I am doing. Started with Black off the spot, I ran 18 first try thats 5 more then I ran the whole week of the challenge. Then I tried the 4 red line up first time I had bad position on my last red second time I ran it with all blacks then ran the pink n black. (45) Thought I might as well try the T Challenge, ran it the first time with 1 Pink and 3 Blacks then followed with Pink and Black (44) time to eat diner then hope to get back down for an hour and try the Blue Challenge. Keep the Challenges coming Ted. I am looking forward to our tournament this weekend.

Thanks Ricky, I hope I don't wake up and find all this was a dream..... I have to believe my hard work is starting to pay off ) I attempted the blue 10 times I ran it three times (15) and then finished it off with five again (30) I then played one game against myself a little loose to run some balls and I ran 4 Blacks and two Pinks (46) Then when I put the balls away I thought I would try running the colours, I ran them first time with perfect position. Please tell me this is not a dream.

Well done Les, defo changed days for you, try to enjoy your weekends snooker no matter what the outcome is. It might take you a little longer to take what you have to tournament conditions but in your mind you have no reason to approach the weekend with any negative thoughts. Not long before you have these session of your life mate. So much easier playing with a smile on your face lol.

Good luck Ricky
