John Schmidt's new DVD

[SPINDOKTOR]

Yes cause he is stringing high runs back to back, If he uses the big balls on a snooker table for a week Id predict 400+ on a 9' with 4.25-4.5" pockets soon thereafter....


SPINDOKTOR

Its not IF he is gonna beat Willie's run its WHEN. Mark my words.

Looking forward to this too, wonder what his average was overall? I remember hearing once that Thorsten averaged over 70 in a tournament, it seems like a number john would have no problem with too. If he put that much focus into it, I can believe 500+ is possible and even breaking mosconi's record.

I saw Torsten Hohmann win the European 14.1 Championships 2005 in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. He ran 125 and out in 3 of the last 4 matches, including the finals. His tournament average was 50 balls per inning overall, absolutely phenomenal.

Unfortunately the EPBF archive seems to be broken so I can't find the tournamentbracket and result but he beat some serious names along the way.

PS looking forward to the John Schmidt DVDs

That's a straight pool player! I've been watching EC internet live stream back then and have seen a shot Hohmann started his run-out with vafter a safety by Ottermann. What a shot to start in a final match, uh?! (just a sample, I didn't remove 3 balls pocketed by Nico)

Something is broken with the above scorekeeping. Who shot the opening break shot in the Otterman/Hohmann game? I assume it was Hohmann since Ottermann got some points. Then, apparently, Hohmann ran out from the safety. That was two innings for Hohmann. The opening break counts as an inning. Maybe the Europeans count innings differently, but in the US, safeties have always been counted as innings, including the opening safety.

 

[Vahmurka]

Bob, actually the official stats even say 0 innings for SF and final games by Thorsten So I had to put it myself. Also, if we sum up numbers in brackets it doesn't make 18... Everyone could check it here: http://www.epbf.com/sportsite/2005/Ec2005/men14oa.htm But still the average is official IMO. Don't know the exact procedure though.

I will take a dvd when they become available. PM me for details. I still watch the 245 with the after-commentary and love it.

How might I obtain the 245 ball run with commentary?

Looking forward to the new videos being released.

I would guess that John is playing/practicing more straight pool than anyone right now and his brain and execution are in sync and in the zone.
It is amazing to watch him disect a rack.

Something is broken

I would agree - but it was not Mosconi's 526. Stay non woke - or at least try uh little harder - bca bob - the rule guru. I really am up to speed - let me know if u need further clarification. I let u know about any - Official Rules - Reguarding proper and or ethical ways of filming 14.1 - Honestly. Another great instructional dvd is the 2nd TAR match between schmidt and myself, Race to 400 points.

Dammit, I thought he was releasing his 626.

Speaking of which, I haven't heard of any in-person showings for a long time.

 

[Cameron Smith]

I would still pay to see it. I think this meant more to way more to John than Jayson, so it would have been cool to see him pass the 526 (and 600) mark. Plus, I think Johns game is easier for me to emulate than Jaysons lol.

 

[Dan Harriman]

How come these videos advertised here - are available to the Open Public (in disc form) and his supposed 626 missing dvd video - is not available in disc for Public to purchase? Also the 626 theatre show is a video review - similar to a book review, only Real difference is at a book review - the audience is offered a signed copy of the book - to take home. At the end 626 theatre show there are zero signed copies of the 626 dvd available for purchase, this is a bit of a puzzle? When Shaw did the non certified pocket specs circus 714/669 loss of feed 'fakebook wreckord' - shaw surpassed supposedly - JS's theatre show record - when an aspiring 14.1 player asked JS if he would ever release the 626 in disc form - now that shaw had kinda surpassed it. Js was quoted saying "it's not worth anything now". Most 14.1 players know that the the Claim of pocketing 626 - without a miss - was just a cheap publicity stunt, many people have been waiting for years to see unsoiled proof - the 626 was ever real> Truly a sad sit for JS and his sponsors. :-(

 

[gerard soriano]

I never ran a 100 until I watched JS (How I run The 100'S)
I had the ability but not the knowledge
I think anything with John doing voice over or player review is well worth the money you will spend
I always say watching a guy run a 100 you dont learn much/Knowing what they are Thinking PRICELESS IMHO

 

[Dan Harriman]

Amen, Dan.
xradarx has been temporarily, banned on more than one occasion, since March 2020 for opposition to this particular unproven happening.
Not much reason for further discussion. radar

Ok Radar, we will let em lie.

 

[Texas Carom Club]

lmfao the whole gang is back in action
lets dig up all the 17 yr old js threads and take fire

 

[ACL]

Sure, why not? Makes plenty of sense to me.

I am sure, to lie is probly about as easy 4 u as breathing. Just a fresh breath of air - in your direction.

Really Danny Boy? After all this time and that's all you got? I gotta say I am deeply disappointed in you. A man of your wit, intelligence and stature should be much more creative than that.

I am a liar. I lied to my ex-wife for years. I have lied to myself. We all lie everyday. I admit and take responsibility for it. You my dear under-a-rock-dwelling friend are a coward. We all know it and you have proven it. It's now time for you to admit it. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Remember, the first step to fixing a problem is recognizing you have one.
