The record will never be broken, because there will always be haters, naysayers, smear merchants, and deniers who will find 1,000 excuses and reasons as to why it would be invalid.
It is evident by the many threads on AZB on this topic, that nothing can satisfy them. What they have done is lay the ground work in advance to illegitimize any potential record breaking. These people should stop wasting time with pool, and find high paying jobs in politics where these skills are in demand. We should call them the Asterisk Gang. They seek to put an asterisk on any potential record break.
Not sure how to analyze the psychology of such people who cling to the past and for some reason, need the record to stand with Mosconi....these people have some kind of problem within themselves and project it onto the record.
As for JS, he holds the 9 foot table record, regardless of pocket size. He also holds the video-taped record. Which, to me is the most important record of all. Hard evidence. No exaggerations, no myths or legends. No he said she said. Right there on video for all to see.
Still though, the haters find nonsense. Such as attacking the racker. Really? Who racked for Mosconi and to what standards were they held? Or when they cleaned the cue ball.....this is very sad and pathetic attempts to pick at JS.
I would say that 434 on a 9 footer is at least equivalent to 526 on an 8 footer, but that remains to be seen. I'm with Bob in thinking that they ought to setup a 8 foot table to match the specs of Brunswick's demo table that Mosconi set the record on. 526 probably would have been broken. Maybe John wants something better or greater? Or maybe he wants to silence the critics by doing it on a 9 foot table?
I can't believe the amount of criticism out there regarding the pocket size and ease, while simultaneously ignoring Mosconi did it on a 8 footer. Just bizarre.
