Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs
- Thread starter lfigueroa
- Start date
And of all the players you mentioned that Jason Shaw beat their personal best high runs, how many of them did he pass up before this event took place? And how many of those mentioned by YOU, had they played in this event in their prime, given the incentive to break Mosconi's 526 high run record would have in fact, done so??? Had Willie Mosconi himself been given the incentive to break his own 526 high run record, do you think he could have set it to over 1,000?????????
The scratch on 714 (715)
Shut the hell up, stop guessing at the pocket angles, just put a damn tape measure on them and take a damn measurement, shouldn't be to complicated for a damn rocket scientist like you, or is that to damn complex for you to understand????!!!!
And to do all that requires skills, not luck. LUCK is when you buy a lottery ticket and HOPE you win!!
And not one of them had ANY incentive to push their personal best high runs as far up as they could have! Just curious, what was Jason Shaws personal best BEFORE this event, that NOT ONE of the players you mentioned had a chance to play in??so just for the record
Jayson just broke the lifetime highrun of following players:
Klaus Zobrekis
Danny Harriman
Grady Mathews
Oliver Ortmann
Steve Mizerak
Mike Sigel
Danny Di Liberto
Alex Lely
Niels Feijen
... 4 times in two consecutive days
edit: 5 times in two consecutive days
None of this matters at all. You are the king of deflection. Give credit where credit is due. The man just ran 714 FUCKING balls. The table does not matter; other people’s incentives or lack thereof do not matter; your petty bullshit does not matter. Maybe you should start your own thread and you can fly in and shit all over it……
Jeez dude get a life.
You're really arguing that 714 isn't good enough because someone could have hypothetically run more. Please get help.

You are reapeating my argument not even noticing it. Your argument was, Strickland could have never run 400+ since it's more than the High run of Ortmann, Mizerak, Sigel. I wrote, that perhaps some of these players never bothered to put up a high run. Strickland did bother and ran 400+. Jayson did bother and ran 400+ also. Even though you would have bet everything you have in the pocket (would be probably a small bet of around $10) he would never be able to, since his patterns are so bad (or at least not RKC approved).
You could (hypothetically) admit you were wrong. But it obviously won't happen

Well in fairness, that's been the event promoters take from the beginning. Now of course he'll care.
hope his table skills are better than what he thinks he knows about 14.1
i went in late just so i could see this lol
just going from 407 to 714 is mental. incomprehensible.
No doubt, but I purposely left luck out of the equation. However, anyone who has played a lot of 14.1 knows for sure that although the outcome of the vast majority of 14.1 games is not determined by the luck or "bad roll" factor, it does sometimes factor into a competitive outcome, or even an exhibition outcome.
I'll limit most bad luck factors in 14.1 to the full rack and large cluster break outs where sometimes one just cannot predict where a ball ends up rolling as little as an eight of an inch onto another ball and you have no shot - it could roll up to another OB or the CB - sometimes it just happens and is truly out of the shooter's control on break outs, especially large cluster break outs. End of Run.
The flip side, of course, is that one does not play the break out shot correctly in terms of speed or CB control, yet they get a "good roll" - Lady Luck and that OB or CB misses the bad freeze point to another ball by that eighth of an inch an you indeed now have a shot to continue your run.
These "luck" issues in 14.1 are like a coin toss- over great periods of time they should even out - so no need to factor them into one's 14.1 progress or lack thereof.

Try all you want to discredit me, but you can't. I said Earl never ran over 400+ balls before this event, and would have a hard time making 200+ of which he did once, in a week!!!! I said Jason Shaw coming into this event would probably have a high run of around 318, he did. I never once said Jason couldn't learn how to play 14.1 a lot better that he was playing it in the past, with a 9B approach, of which he has learned to adapt to 14.1 playing which is why he's been able to stick to it and improve his ball making ability. But Jason still has an Achilles heal, meaning he has a weakness that is holding him back from setting even higher runs, and that is Jason's shooting to fast at times. I've seen him miss to many times because if that, and have said it since the first time he came on the US radar as a player.
So again, shut the hell up unless you can prove me wrong!!!
Right there you're showing your ignorance in my trade skills, because you really have no damn idea what I do, you just think you do, and YOU couldn't even repeat ONE of my days of work, not even if your LIFE depended on it!!
Thats a good thing, since I've already thrown out the trash, I wouldn't want to have to do it again so soon.
