Congrats to John Schmidt !!!

I hope he gets paid handsomely for this feat....

 

[patscue]

Yo Baby! I'm so excited for you!

Cool that he beat Mosconi by exactly 100.

He also covers Mike Eufemia's run by one. Point made on both claims to the highest run.

A job well done by John Schmidt. It proves that with hard practice and enough determination, you can reach your goals if they are within reason.

I wonder if he'll go back to selling sandwiches now???

Damn, it's always that "within reason" part that gets me.

Nice job John, I got to see a few of his attempts earlier this year, glad he got it!

It ain't fair and shouldn't count.

Willie didn't have a REVO.

What PT said...

 

[OldOrvis]

RREEEEEVVVOOOOOO! better get out and get one while you can lol I play with a 12.4 and its an amazing shaft. Was going to sell my extra one but maybe with 2 shafts I can get to a 1252 run lol

Congrats

Guess I must be the only guy who wants to see an unedited video of the run before cracking a bottle of Crystal, lol.

Lou Figueroa

Phil Capelle isn't credible enough for ya?

Congratulations John Schmidt! and congratulations Predator!
I got my popcorn ready and am just sitting here waiting for the carbon fiber haters. LOL:grin:

John Schmidt's hi-run is 626. Willie Mosconi ran 526. And mine is 26.

 

[Michael Andros]

Lol, 626 balls... Nothing amazing.

Edit:. My comment was written sarcastically in response to the quoted comment. Just writing to clarify as sarcasm can be lost in text.

I got it but you're right to clarify. I tell ya, sometimes it's ALL I CAN DO not to just let loose with full artillery on the pure IDIOCY I see here from time to time. But, I don't. Even were I not ( fairly seriously ) ill, it still wouldn't be worth the energy it takes. So, I do what I just did with this particular keyboard cowboy. I instantly added him to my already-healthy list of "ignores".

Problem solved.

My thought exactly when I saw the number.

Someday much later in this century pool fans across the world will be enjoying USA vs Europe in the Schmidt cup.

Nice job John.

I highly doubt that , the run might be part of the reason for the name , but him winning 15 world championships between 1941 -1957 , is much more relevant it didn't take a high run for everyone in the world to know who Wille was they already knew

What's wrong with pool ?
Js just ran over 600 balls (626) and people actually have neg things to say' wtf

There are, sadly enough, countless people to whom Mommy and Daddy never showed enough attention.

So they try to get it in other places.


And even MORE sadly? It almost always works.
