Which was about the same time that the Sands Regency Tournament in Reno ended.

I wish they could turn back the hands of time and go back and relive one of those old Sands Reno tournaments. And have players like Varner, Reyes, Parica, Archer, Strickland, Sigel, Souquet, Bustamante competing again. Along with Grady and Billy commentating.

Heck, if they still had it, I would pay the entry fee and go and play in it myself!

It was OS 8 right? That said, aside from not scratching, Mosconi walked into pool halls across the country and ran balls on all tables. 35+ racks, no skids, no frozen cue ball after a break, no cluster that opened wrong, etc…. I’m impressed even if other runs somewhere sometime have been better. And something tells me Mosconi would run racks on this GC4 without much angst.

And OHB should be remembered- thanks for quoting him.

Sadly, no. It was a phenomenal event, and nearly as hard to win as the US Open 9ball. Although I have attended pro events since 1976, most of the events I have attended were since my retirement in 2008.

It would be interesting to see if Orcollo could keep up with Biado in a long race.

You ordered a table?

And I should be more sympathetic - those Gold Crown IVs are notorious for having bad spreads and few options for running out after a 9 ball break - that's why they won't use them for televised tournaments.

What I get a kick out of is when I go into a bar for pool league and get to see a look that says oh no he's still playing pool !!!

I'm of the mind set that I enjoy it when someone runs the table out on me , because if they can't or don't I'll try my best to run out on them !
When my arthritis isn't kicking my butt to much ha ha !

Reminds me of a long-deceased AZB poster called Old Has Been. Not too long after Mosconi had his world record run of 526, Old Has Been visited the poolroom to see the table on which the run took place. Noting that the pockets were huge, Old Has Been commented that he felt that the most impressive thing about Willie's run was that he never scratched. LOL.

Motorola Bar Code set
In 2012 Epco produced 3 sets of these balls for an engineer at Motorola for use in trade show presentations highlighting specific Motorola equipment. Presentations were to consist of informational slides and discussion with pool shot demonstrations, and trick shots worked into the program. However, Motorola soon sold off that division of the company. One set of balls was used a couple of times, then gifted to an executive at Motorola, and the 2 unused sets are now in collections.

You probably could lick my ass.

But poors like you always overstate their game as a way of compensating for both a lack of natural talent and financial wherewithal.

Spend more time practicing on your quarter a game tables, and call me when you grow the fuck up.
