You are wrong in your recollection of your conversation with Bobby because he (and I) both said numerous times the table had been in storage and the rails needed to be replaced, not just the facings.
You are also wrong about Bobby not including his 311 in his avatar. Just check his most recent post -- it's there.
You are also wrong about Jayson's run, and all the other runs, not being streamed live. The feed did go out for a couple of minutes but it was then streamed from one of our tech's phones. Many, many people watched Jayson break the record live, including me.
And I seem to recall that back in 2013 it took you months to reproduce and distribute a DVD of your run, which was not streamed live and was recorded with what looked like a cheap security camera.
So our table played easy. But not so easy that SVB, Earl, and Chinakhov could break the record. Lastly, you made a very specific allegation that you still have not answered. So I'll ask it again: what proof/evidence do you have about Jayson's table having, "dry rotted pocket

Lou you are correct. So here is a breakdown to those who need to know.
We had a Gold Crown 3 set up at our Billiard Academy that was in storage for years. This was the table that Ruslan,Earl,SVB and Jayson played on. The table had new cushions put on it and new facings of course about 1 year before The Legends Of Pockets Billiards started the High Run Challenge. The table had 860 simonis blue on it. We changed it to 760 blue and didnt like it so we went with 760 Tournament green with the idea that Mosconi and all others back in the day played on green cloth. There was no alterations to the table at all. On all Jaysons runs there was no heaters and at no time were the balls replaced or taken off the table to be cleaned or polished during his 714 high run. In previous days we did clean the cue ball a couple times but only with a dry towel with no polish on it.
Now currently we remodeled our Billiard Academy and are using a Gold Crown 4 with cushions a few years old. We only replaced the facings to make sure we have the best playability possible and were standard specs which i believe are a 60 hardness. No heaters are being used and at no time the balls are being replaced or polished once a run starts. 760 Simonis green is being used again.
After speaking to Jayson and many other top players and World Champions we all agree that if heaters were used under the table and balls replaced or polished after a run starts there is no doubt Jayson would have topped the 700 ball mark 5-6 times already and SVB would have probably got to 600 or 700 also.
As for any chance of people thinking Jaysons 714 video was edited I have an open invitation to anyone especially Danny to put up 20k in cash and I will personally put up 1,000,000 in cash and Jaysons run can be reviewed by any video experts in the world. If the original video comes back edited than your a millionaire.
We have an open area at our academy we can put another 9ft. Table at so we are looking for a 9ft. Rebco leather pocket table if anyone finds one let me know. Im willing to pay top dollar for one. This table will be used for wild,wild rules where there can be heaters under the table, polish or replace the balls anytime a run starts, can rack the balls high or low, or tilted and the slate can be rounded over on the edges and huge pockets so we can have the same conditions as Schmidt uses. I want to make 100% clear that the wild,wild wesrt high runs will only be used on the Rebco table only and not on our Gold Crown 4.
I think it would be exciting to see how many balls World Champions and top players can run on the same conditions that Schmidt uses in all his runs over the past 5 years. I hope this clears up some of the questions ive been asked to post.
