educated pool people - the word pool actually means to gamble. Those educated people ARE indeed gambling if their claim is that Mosconi's run has been surpassed - without unedited video proof. Are the two fellas at bca experts = NO. Do I think Bob Jewett is world class in Pocket Billiard discipline of 14.1 = NO. Do I think he has ever run a century in major tournament competition = no. Is Bob the only official adjudicator of the j.s./bca new record claim = NO. Do I think my opinion matters more than anyone else who practices 14.1 avidly = no, do I consider myself to be at the expert level in Straight Pool = Yes. I am still learning about the game - and unfortunately it's relation to political scandals involving Mosconi's 70+ yr old official 526. Are there political sponsorships available for those who claim to have run more than Mosconi = evidently answer here is Yes - i.e. Hall Of Fame corruption/ new cue sponsors. For any top 14.1 players out there seriously considering recording some runs and trying to surpass Mosconi's great achievement of 526. Here are the steps for success - 1st you'll need to show unedited video proof (not currently available with the bca's new claim after two years :-o, 2nd get past the dreaded skid (clean dry well insulated environment), 3rd plenty of heart, and 4th perseverance. Good Day - to those who are not dishonest and or helping the spread of fake news.
Since there is a large contingent here who insists on educated pool people to verify that JS actually did this feat, and apparently Bob Jewett isn't considered to be "expert" enough...could we also expect that some equivalent sort of expert testimony be presented verifying these "circus tables"? Beyond your say-so, I mean...
