The 526 run and the 626 run were also on a table with buckets, so what are people bitching about. I don't think anyone can run 714 on a table with 4.250-4.500 pockets.

Has there ever been a financial incentive to break records on a table with 4 1/2" standard pockets today? The answer is NO, because if there had been, the 526 would have been broken a long time ago, the 14.1 players today, with today's equipment, are more than capable of doing that! Which is why its a shame to use a circus table in order to assist the players along, just to make sure the records are broken!! And like I've said, whats next, only 4 players have had a turn at the records so far, what about the 100's of more players capable of putting up huge runs????
How are these runs accomplished are they continuous or over several days. Thanks

Says me who can spot a person with a raging case of cognitive dissonance.
I'll give you the short dumbed down version, as I know who I am dealing with now.
The drama you have had a hand in, was avoidable you clown. But you willingly ended up in the same position as John Schmidt and co. that you have been complaining about for years.
I mean, that is some crayon eating level planning....... But, you're such a nice chap I guess you don't deserve it (this is sarcasm, stating the obvious.. But hey, I know what I'm dealing with).
Or maybe you have done it this way as you want the attention, there are people you can see to help you with that as well. Could help you in the long run.
In the meantime, keep the mud from falling in from the hole you dug yourself into. For now, this thread is a popcorn piece of entertainment but it will run out of puff soon enough.
Whilst you work out how to spend the millions you will make from this project (yes, that is more sarcasm).
I say Bulls*it! Run it if you're so sure, get Diamond to fund the reward. How long did John try for on a so called clown table until he ran 626. I think it was a pretty long time.
You're the one doing all the talking, "clown table, pocket size, anyone could do it on a clown table"One player out of millions, is that the basis of your claim
Don't talk no more, set it up and show us.
Bobby promised free stream of all runs in the start of the Challenge. Some viewers got attracted to your challenge because of this statement. The number of viewers created revenue from advertising. So people believing the myth of free stream on Facebook created revenue for you.
On the day of the record run Bobby still remembered his promise. He was sorry, stream went down. He said, he wants to get sure the recording of the run is not disturbed. He will upload the full video later that day.
And then he had the epiphany, that he could get more money by offering the run as pay per view.
Yeah, that really sounds like a honest mistake in the heat of the moment.
Your snowflake
Well fortunately we don't really care what you think.

easy
If you think it's progress you haven't kept up.
If there's a mistake, I say so. If I don't know something, I admit I don't know. If I chose not to say something, I tell you that too.
Telling a few folks to go pound sand is just the whipped cream and cherry on the top : -)

I'm not sure but I thought the DCC 14.1 event was offering 10K if someone broke 526.
Lou Figueroa
Don't worry about that, its already being planned, using a antique Brunswick Regina 9ft with factory 6" corner pockets and 6 1/2" sides, and no pocket shelf to speak of in the corner pockets, because that's how the STOCK tables were built by Brunswick back then. Pocket size has been proven to be of no concern to anyone so I WILL post and prove all the pocket specs so anyone that knows what they're doing can copy the table playing conditions.
And didn't get an unlimited amount of attempts, let alone a week at the table, right LOU??
BTW, I wanted to mention that Mike Howerton is featuring a very nice write up of Shaw's run at our event on the AZ home page:

Shaw Breaks 14.1 World Record With 714 Ball Run - News - AZBILLIARDS.COM
In March of 1954, Willie Mosconi ran 526 balls during an exhibition match in Springfield, Ohio. After pocketing that 526th ball, the great Mosconi unscrewed his cue and called it a day. Sixty-five years later, that record was broken by US Open 9-Ball Champion John Schmidt when he ran 626 balls durin

That’s very sad. It’s been a week now and even you are saying no progress. Admission of a mistake is a good start.
If I recall correctly, you could pretty much get as many attempts as you wanted but you had to pony up $100 per 12 tries.
I think Leil Gay set the record for attempts one year chasing it.
Lou Figueroa
And Jayson Shaw competed in the DCC but couldn't win it because Joshua Filler ran a 285 with very little effort, and set the overall high run on a Diamond.
