wow that is really impressive. john really is a class act and a great ambassador for 14.1
Is that in consecutive innings?
No. He's been here since Saturday night. He just ran 200 and scratched two rails off of the break shot. The 200 and the 246 were 3 innings apart.

After the 200 even, we went out and played 18 holes at my local course. Came back home, had dinner and in his third attempt he just ran 267. A pretty impressive day of straight pool. 246, 200 and 267, all on video. He is going to give it one more try in an hour or so. I'm getting a little tired of watching balls go in but if I fall asleep the camera will still be rolling, LOL.

I told you he hadn't shot his wad with the 246. I said he would come back with a 300, but I was a little off. He came back with a 200, 267, and 168 after 18 holes of golf.
Not too shabby.

All those numbers in the 200's & high 100's, that is really something. To put up those type of #'s in one day of practice....
I could see see, 200 once in awhile....
It is kind of scary..........
He is a great player and will go down in history along with the rest of the greats.

3 200 plus runs in the same day after 18 holes of golf is stupid off the charts!!!! That is a feat I'm not sure anyone has accomplished..Wow is all I can say..................
What a show-off, even his scratches are cool..................LOL!!!
Just kidding of course........................ but My God if I hit one of those numbers on a run my pool buddies wouldn't be able to talk to me for a month! No, for a year!!!

John is really a World Class Professional. I occassionally go to his Pool Hall (although not recently) and watch him play. It is impressive to watch him run 150+, 200+ balls without missing; even more so when I was his opponent ...lol.
John is a class act who will share his love and knowledge of the game. If you ever are in Wheeling, WV, stop by his place, Schmidt Billiards & More. Very reasonable rates on tables (cheap actually) and very, very good food. It is a small place with four or five 7' Diamond tables, and two 9' Diamonds. You can see it on Facebook: Schmidt Billiards if interested. John will talk pool, motorcycles, golf, hunting, fishing and will make you feel welcome. Nice place.

John is truly an amazing player. I'm so curious as to what he attributes his fantastic pocketing skills to. Is it eye timing, grip, is it his ability to envision the shots?
At some point in his playing something must have stood out as the reason he was able to make everything.
I'd love to hear his thoughts on that.

It really is astounding.
I don't think John is going to be satisfied with just another 400. Nor
do I know how long it takes to runthat many balls, Maybe a 10 minute break somewhere around 375 or so just to get some air or something...
goodluckjohn
