Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

Solid. That was awesome to watch. That carom towards the end to get out of a tough first shot after break was sweet. The screenshot above and getting out with a break was crazy. What a run.

Scratched on the break in the side (bunch of kisses) at 28. Starting again.

Sitting here dreaming of running 300, I think if I did that-I’d call it a day. This guy just keeps going like it never happened. I really respect that! Most people I’d guess would be pissed after a big run and call it a day.

Respect

So I said that the gist of your belief was essentially that you felt that if anybody could have broken Mosconi's record during that time they would have, and that the record was the big incentive and that it wasn't broken not for lack of incentive but for lack of the players being able to break it because they just aren't good enough and Mosconi was just that much above them. You say show me. Well here you go. There are other threads I remember where you are much more explicit about it, but this one makes it clear enough even though you are certain to now do your best to try to wordsmith around it.

john schimdt runs 266

hi everyone, just watched john run 19 racks of 14.1 total of 266 balls on a diamond blue label pro am. it was a real treat , the biggest run ive personally witnessed, and it happened right here at garys victor billiards. he will be in good shape for the mosconi cup !!!!!

Also funny, in light of that insanely long thread about John Schmidt breaking the record, the one where you repeatedly state that you have serious doubts that the record breaking run actually happened even though it is on video, and had people people who witnessed it in person, and had some of the most esteemed, knowledgeable and respected members of the pool community who closely analyzed the video and verified the run, and the official authorizing body for the record, the BCA, officially recognizing it as having been proven to be the new record, etc, and none of that was good enough for you, but here you are in post #95 essentially saying that unless there is a good reason not to we should just take people's word's about their high runs. Lol.

And here you are in post #78 taking one single person's word about another run that at the time would have beaten the record, yet all John's overwhelming massive evidence somehow wasn't good enough for you. More lol.

You would take one single person's word for it when it comes to a run by your exalted hero Mosconi, but for some guy you dislike and don't want to see have the record, for that guy a full video, in person witnesses, official recognition from the governing body over the record, confirmation of the run from some of the most respected and knowledgeable people and pros in the industry, etc, still isn't good enough for you. It's the adult version of closing your eyes and putting your hands over your ears to drown out what somebody is telling you and saying, while rocking back and forth, "not true, not true, not true, not true" simply because you don't want it to be true.

So I decided to put another couple of minutes into it and here is another post from another thread with you being even more explicit about your whole "if they could have they would have but they haven't because they can't" belief just like I had said. And there are plenty of others.

Why has no one beat Mosconi's high run?

Yes there have been unconfirmed runs that may have beat him... Not my question. Why in todays state of the game, when competition is tougher than ever... Why do we not have umpteen players capable of running 500+ balls? Was he really that good? Table conditions? Nobody plays straight pool...

Changing topics, and I'm going to quote it because I'm sure it is going to get edited, but here is Harriman saying that he would put a lot more weight on a high run caught on video than he would on Mosconi's run with a signed affidavit. We all know how that turned out. It's amazing how easily humans can deny the truth when they don't like the truth, isn't it?

"I have no room for a table, while I am not a huge believer in technology I do think the camera would be more definitive than 15 people who signed a piece of paper."

20 racks down. He looked like he was going to be stuck in the rack after the break shot but a ball kicked into the pack and bumped out the cue ball.
 
Were these 300+ runs back to back?

His position play for the break ball is insane. He leaves himself such thin cuts with no margin for error and hits the mark every time.
