Now being someone who plays 14.1 and keeps up with the History and follows the rules that respect the game here are a few things that stand out.
why wouldnt Cranfields multiple runs over 700 on a 9ft. table be the all time record. They didnt use video back then and from everybody i talked to that knew Cranfield said he was the most honest person they ever knew and even had the nickname honest Babe to some.
The BCA guys who decided to call it a record were new and it was just a who knows who at that point and they dont even know how to platu pool. It should have been done differently.
There are to many things that was happening to be questioned.
760 Simonis? who uses this felt. It is faster and slicker and makes for the pockets be at least 10 easier when hitting balls down a rail to go in.
Heaters under the table to heat the slate to make the table play faster? who does this except for 3 cushion Billiard tables.
No one inspected the table or was allowed to inspect it. Why not allow this and for breaking such a record the BCA guys and actually John should have had multiple experts fly in to do so I know i would have and now since the table has been recovered the extra things to make the table easier are no longer available to inspect.
No original video ever released to the public and never available to any experts to make sure of any alterations.
Removal of the balls to run through a ball polisher many times after a run has started.
Cleaning and vacuuming of the felt many times after a run has started.
a special rack that racks the balls exactly the same way everytime which helps spred the balls more open after the break shots.
Starting a run several hours before the poolroom even opened in which the people who signed off on the run did not see it completely and count the racks completed and the other people who signed off are partial.
Exactly 100 balls over Mosconis run for a number to pick to make it sound more amazing to stand out
the date was on 5-26 another set of wierd numbers
Many more things that can be added to this false claim its all fake news.

lol....NOT
Geeze, Lou. Guinness sets up fake records to amuse drunks. Seems like a pretty low standard to go by. All I have to do is learn to balance a cue on my nose for a 100-meter dash and I can get into the fine "Record Book" as well.... set by Guinness for a world record. ...

Pretty silly, because it has nothing to do with me -- JS's run did not meet the criteria set by Guinness for a world record.
They are very specific about what you have to do for a record to count. So his "record" ain't gonna be in the Guinness book today nor 30 years from now or *ever.*

Well, dang it! I'm heading downstairs right now to rip off that easy, ball-making cloth. SON-OF-A.....760 Simonis? who uses this felt. It is faster and slicker and makes for the pockets be at least 10 easier when hitting balls down a rail to go in.
I think you missed my point.
You didn't have a valid point.
Lou Figueroa
Nobody in the pool world will know who Lou Figueroa is in 30 years. Not so for JS.
Like I said: you had no valid point.
And, so what if JS lives on with a big fat asterisk next to his "record" that folks wonder about because 30 years from now THERE'S STLL NO UNEDITED VIDEO OUT?
ah hem.
In any case, eventually I may finish my book and then, just maybe, in some small sense, I'll will live on. How 'bout you, Popeye?
Lou Figueroa
Says you.......the word magician. I don't think you really care. You just like to argue and hear (read) yourself talk. GL with the book, chair force flyboy.
