This has been my point all along. Talking about standards in 9 ball is ridiculous enough let alone solo exhibition 14.1 high runs.
For decades, 526 was recognized as the record on an 8 foot table with buckets. From all accounts, Mosconi used his own balls, certainly his own cue ball. Now we accept 626 as the record sight unseen on a table with buckets.
The only reason this pointless conversation is happening (because if 626 gets broken in this event it WILL be the new record) is because Legends have been kind enough to provide us with a free stream of every single second of plat and transparent enough to give us all the details of the playing conditions, certainly a shit load more details than any other recognized record.
