Today I had three golden breaks in a row playing 9 ball for a wager, can anyone beat that ? I'd be interested to know...

ermmmmmm i might be wrong on this but ask thediamond about a match a few years (maybe 5?) ago with Andy Battams........... i'm sure there was a few goldens in that one.............not sure if they were playing for anything though -----------------  [ This message was edited by: PC on 2007-05-15 01:15 ]

I had 6 goldens from 9 breaks against Adam Clarke in a tournament at Stretford 2 years ago....and 2 of the other 3 got blocked from going in the same corner pocket! He checked the rack every time cos he racked em! No idea why this happened Oh....he had 2 also!.....score was 9-2 in about 20 minutes! -----------------

The most I seen in one night's competition play, was one guy had no fewer than 10.
When you look at how much racks he played ( 3 x race to 3 group matches and 2 x knockout race to 4 matches), it was some feat!
I guess they are just freak stat's, like dazzler's above, but it show's they do happen!

I had 5 golden breaks in a row once. But I gues putting the 1 and 9 ball pointing to the corner pocket doesn't count - you have to rack the other 7 balls too  [ This message was edited by: expertfluke on 2007-05-15 17:50 ]

Yep, Andy 'Who ate all the pies' Battams sunk 5 Goldens on me in a race to 9 for £100 about 5/6 years ago. Strong lesson learned that day, I will tell you! Not that I am saying he did anything to the rack, but I sure in heck should have racked for him....after the first one!!!!!!! [ This message was edited by: thediamond on 2007-05-15 17:50 ]
