Not to mention he rarely continued the run after winning the match, as I understand it.

Mosconi did have multiple exhibition runs over 300, so this wasn't the only time he continued. I suspect his 309 was a sort of competition with Irving Crane. The particular political pool situation at the time of the 526 run may have been motivation for him in Springfield. It's in his autobiography.

How to adjust for banks close to the rail?

You can find that spot in two seconds by placing your cue along the end rail nose line. No arithmetic.

Idea for a new pool product: the Spot on the Wall Assistant - a 30" tall free-standing pole (collapsible so it fits into a cue case) with a pool ball on top. Place it wherever your spot-on-the-wall-of-the-moment is.

pj <- definitely illegal, but accepting confidential pre-orders (bitcoin only)

How he racked and cleaned the balls. The same things others objected too. Not to mention the hundreds of tries, under perfect conditions, it took him to do it. Mosconi had exactly one crack at a record every day, and each day under different conditions. No comparison in my book. Not even close!

IMO its a bogus record! Let Schmidt or anyone else travel from city to city and shoot an exhibition match each day for a couple of months. I'd like to bet high no one would come close to Mosconi's 526.

It looks to be spinning just as fast at the round Chinese ones which is what I didn't like about the one I tried. The balls were warm bordering on hot on the outside when it was done which didn't sit right with me.

The other thing I thought was a lack of random oscillation. The balls seemed to spin on one axis the entire time.

I could be completely wrong, but that was my impression...
