What we may require is to see the specs on a table prior to the attempts being made. If we okay it, they can proceed and take as many tries as they want. As far as I'm concerned, it's a go right now. I've got 10K that speaks for me. And if it's during Mark's event it looks like they could get 20K. With me this record can be attempted anywhere at anytime, no specific location required. I want players all over the world to feel free to swing at 527. But it must be one continuous clean recording. Any funny business and it's over. Better yet, maybe they should stream it as well. That's a good back-up security and any good video guy can hook this up.


sounds good to me, would be prudent to look at the table afterwards as well, only takes a few minutes and a recover of the bed. I will roll with it how ever you want.
 
Okay I guess I am too stupid to understand how the insurance works.

Let's assume there is a 10% fee. How often does the fee need to be paid and how long is it in effect.

I am thinking if $100,000 could be raised to pay the fee on $1MM payday.

I know I am missing something, someone straighten me out.

With a $1MM payday, now that would generate some interest!

Did CJ / Jay somehow got the Earl Strickland $1MM messed up, and it took a lawyer and a settlement that was less than the full payout?

We all need to learn from that and make sure that there are no mis-steps.

Here is all the information you need:

and talk to:

Darren Stemmerman

LEt me know before you contact them, the site explains their biz, they dont write open ended $1,000,000 for 10 cents on the dollar. the shorter the time period the lower the premium.

hope this clears things up a bit,

best Eric

if you need my help let me know, glad to help

The infamous "28 Ball added honest mistake"

No one is going to come here and claim the wrong number on purpose. He claimed he had the higher number without first reviewing the tape. When he reviewed it, he saw he had screwed up the count and fessed up.

It was an honest mistake in my book.

Lou Figueroa
still sore about
the CW sock puppet thing, eh

He never should have "screwed up" or had to "fess up" by increasing his number by 28 balls..he certainly didnt make the mistake of decreasing by 28 did he..Posting an inflated run and then asking for the thread to be taken down DAYS later is not an honest mistake...its pathetic and makes him look like a complete liar. His previous highest run in his LIFE was 280..he knew EXACTLY how many balls he ran and his "honest mistake" - it just so happens - would have made him hold the highest run caught on tape instead of Schmidt who he HATES. Its no coincidence that the 2 racks he added made him surpass John's highest on video run and without those racks its still John's record. Again ask any straight pool player if they ever miscounted a practice run with NO FOULS by more then 1 or 2 balls if AT ALL..let alone 28 balls. off by 2 racks is UNHEARD OF!

And not sore in the least..just the PERFECT opportunity to show what a hypocrite you are..and throw in the perfect line where its deserved..I don't defend CW anytime and certainly wouldn't if he lied about a high run #..yet Harriman lies about a run then figures he's gonna get caught so asks the thread to be removed, and you defend him, without knowing ANY facts...you just say "honest mistake in my book", what is your evidence of that hones mistake claim? Did you get details? Speak to Harriman? Or its simply "all good" with you as you like Harriman. I would never believe any run Harriman claims now cause he cant seem to keep track even on tape on the best run of his life, way too shady for anyone to believe 28 ball "mistake"..I call bullshit on any practice run claim of Harriman..he just wants to out-do Schmidt any way he can and will lie to do so..IMHO he just proved it.
 
Personally, I don't care what they do to the balls with three stipulations:

1. Whatever you're going to do to the balls -- wash, wax on wax off, car polish, silicone, plastic cleaner/polish, grease, whatever -- do it at the start of the run. The balls should not be run through a polisher, wiped down, or caressed after that point.

2. The shooter cannot touch the CB after the start of a run.

3. If an OB or the CB gets something on it, a referee, or at least someone other than the player, can mark the ball and wipe off the offending pollution.

Just my 2 cents.

Lou Figueroa

If a player wants to clean the CB all he has to do is leave it in the rack on the last ball. He/she can then wipe it down in their pocket (as many pros freq do before the break in rotation games) or on their pants/shirt.
 
oops

You may have heard already...

EXTRA! EXTRA! A 379 Ball Run is the Brand New "14.1 Highest Run Ever Captured On Video" recently set by former UPA Pro Tour 9-Ball Champion and Derby City Banks Champion Danny Harriman of Springfield, Missouri... On a moderately tough Brunswick Gold Crown II. He will be releasing the video soon with commentary.

John Schmidt has the previous video record run with his 366.

Congratulations to Danny! That's quite an accomplishment!

Max Eberle

Unfortunately he lied. And wants you to remove the post.
 
Comet tables

I defer to your superior expertise and experience with different tables, but I would just like to throw out there that I played at Comet many times and did not think the tables there played soft. I thought they played fair, in terms of accepting a ball shot down the rail at speed, or to a corner pocket at an angle with speed. Overall, I think they played a hair on the tough side vs soft. The corner table reserved for 1pocket definitely didn't play soft.

Lou Figueroa

Wow Lou if you thought those tables were tough then well I will save my thoughts. They had dead facings - this makes the pockets play really soft. The only table I thought ever played as soft was the brunswick metro (when they first came out) and the Comet tables. They were indeed outerspace easy, which is why they had all those invites poilitical piggie tournaments. If I had a room I would want the tables to play soft also.
 
It was 526! :thumbup:

But oneballeddie is right, you can't get to 526 without running 523 first, and 523 is a prime number, so no "official" higher prime number than 523 has been run.

351 is not a prime number, by the way, but 349 is.
 
Unbelievable...first Harriman lies about his run IF ITS ON VIDEO HOW CAN YOU CLAIM 379??) Putting Max Eberle in a weird position as he posted it thinking if Harriman actually did it, and Max being a gentleman congratulates him for "The Highest Run on Video". Then Harriman asks for the post to be taken down because he knows he didn't actually break Schmidt's 366 on video .. then he has the balls to question one of the TABLES of either the 400 or 403 that John made. Way to go from defense to offense..Why are 99 out of 100 posts that Harriman writes include Schmidt's name? Post after post, year after year. That isn't his perceived "rivalry" or simple jealousy/sour grapes, that's obsession and its getting to the level of disturbing.

Well since you are a 14.1 student I will give you a quick well know fact John and Danny don't swap spit together

The answer to your rhetorical question is "no".

I did learn a great deal about prize indemnification after being involved in the 300k of legal work on the Earl Strickland "Million Dollar Challenge" case.
 
no swap required

Does that mean that Harriman should lie about a run and have nobody believe him again because he wants to beat John's record? Actually saying he did beat the record only to realize that if people see the DVD and know how to count that they will figure out that he is 28 balls short of his claim? They don't need to swap spit..not liking a guy is fine..lying about your highest run ever is a major problem credibility wise.
 
i dont believe Danny intentionally lied, shit happens, thats what video is for, to make sure no mistakes. we all make mistakes, sleeping balls in $1000/rack one hole, people make mistakes. That's the purpose of video, if Mosconi didnt run his claimed record it could because someone miscounted. Danny was stand up about it.


of course i post a link to a site that explains hole-in-one insurance with a contact there where I have juice with and it gets ignored, shows how interested the posters here are, dont tell me, show me, i did and it fell on deaf ears. yup thats pool!

Unlike John Danny's credibility has never been question he came with the truth on his own free will not after someone saw the video and called him out

Still one hell of a run.

I think Danny has acted honorably by correcting his slight computation error on his own.

Schmitty will just have to keep that feather in his hat, at least for now. :D

I agree. The same thing (on a smaller scale) happened to CJ on his one pocket ghost run. An honest mistake. How about he rest of the run? Just awesome and I'm sure Danny wouldn't cheat. I think he is a honest guy.

Lets be honest

1. To start off by saying "Unlike John" you show your bias and I've never seen anyone call Schmidt out on any of his runs including Harriman who hates him..Harriman just says John's runs were on easy tables, he doesn't dispute the runs as the 366 is on tape and the 400 and 403 had witnesses.

2. It wasn't "free will" that forced the truth out of Harriman, it was the fact that he wanted to sell the DVD and people would see/count 351 balls made not 379. Who would ever release a video claiming one number when everyone who bought the DVD sees another one. The fact that it was taped and he wanted to profit from it MADE him come clean, otherwise who's to say he would have?

3. Ask any of these players if there run could possibly be inflated by just 1 ball and they would be infuriated and feel disrespected, then ask them if they could have made a mistake and added 28..they would laugh their asses off:

In Straight Pool the first question a player asks/is asked is "what is your high run?" It is that number in 14.1 (rightly or wrongly) that DEFINES you as a player and it is always exact. Every player who plays the game seriously or more importantly a Professional knows his high run exactly and there are no mistakes from them. To be off by 28 balls is laughable and would never happen to a beginner let alone a pro. Counting a practice run is simple..especially at home with no fouls to deduct a ball and possibly be wrong by one. To be off by 28 is simply absurd and absolutely a credibility liability in ALL future claims of runs by Harriman. And it would be the same for any player that claimed one number and 4 days later said "there was a major mistake I shot 28 less and jumped the gun." WTF!! Never heard it before and won't ever hear it again..its simply too ridiculous.

Well I'm sure Danny won't be able to sleep to nite knowing how much this bothers you. For the rest of us who don't care we'll sleep just fine

I am happy for Danny and his great run.
Sad that he miscounted,and was unfortunate to post a "wrong" total,prior to
determining the correct score.:eek:
