Wrong, they were 5" at the mouth but never the same in the throat. Stock Brunswick tables since the 40's up until the GC5 came out ALL came with 5" corner pockets and 5 1/2" side pockets. Corner pocket miter angles were 142/143 they varied, but the throat of the pocket was 3/4" smaller than the pocket opening. The pockets on this table are huge, not even close to stock!!!
To be clear, I'm not knocking Jayson's performance. The stamina and determination he showed is amazing. He was presented with a challenge and he made a great run. He is a phenomenal player and congratulations to him on a great accomplishment.
Didn't get there. I imagine he doesn't make an excuse. He's a great player and maybe can get there if he cares enough about it.
Yeah, those side pockets look huge! The corners look standard.
IMO, 714 is 714. I was hating on the table and pocket specs when this whole thing started but that run is impressive regardless of the table. 51 straight racks. Most people posting in this thread couldn't run 51 balls on that table. It would be nice if people didn't go all Danny Harriman on Jayson's accomplishments. I have a feeling this is going to get a lot more attention than John's run simply because there is more juice behind it and hopefully the video will be more accessible to the general public.
I donno... Eagle Eye is pretty badass...
Differ how? You're saying that the pockets have to be 4.5,4.25 or what? Mosconi's run was on a oversize 8ft with big pockets and no one talks about that. Why an asterisk here? Championship 14.1 has been played almost every year on standard size pockets just like these. Do Crane's, Mizerak's, Sigel's runs/wins require asterisks too?? Please.
What cash reward, how much???
Haven't I told you a 100,000 times not to exaggerate
Garczar,
Are you trying to imply the pockets on this table are stock pockets, just like the pockets were when 14.1 events were played on GC's in the past?
I agree with this, but now to be fair to anyone else attempting to set a high run, they're going to have to do in on this table!
Which van are you sleeping in?
They had pics on their FB page. 4.91" corners and 5.3" sides. Those were the standard pocket dimensions FOR YEARS. Same sizes that championship 14.1 has been played on forever. Current WPA standards may be different but why does that matter. He ran 714 on pockets the same that all the greats played on. NO asterisk required.
That is a complement coming from you sir.
You want the "viewers" to believe what you write but not what others write.I'm calling the pockets altered, but apparently you're one of those "viewers" that believe everything you read, the pockets are "legit"
