The stamina as wel as the determination
I do wonder what role today's chalk plays in making these sorts of runs even possible. There are hundreds of skid-able shots in a run like this -- those rolling half-ball hit type shots, where a skid causes a miss. You just don't see as many of them with the newer chalks. Even being diligent about cleaning the cue ball only helps so much when using the older chalks.
What tournament would allow a player to run over the set FOUR times?
Lamps need to be sacrificed too. Let us not forget that.
Say whatever you want. My point is there is NO ONE sitting in the chair waiting to shoot. Zero pressure in the outcome. If two players played a match to 1,000balls you think a 800 would get run? No way. The hi-run in a real match is somewhere around 275 iirc but don't hold me to that #. Most 14.1 events allowed the player to keep going after closing out and no one has ever run #'s like this. As far as funsy runs go i think Crane's 310 on a 5x10 is stronger than cat piss.
Should be on YouTube.
I don’t think they are taking it down.
I think what you said is precisely the point of a high run challenge: it removes the person in the other chair so the shooter can go 100% offense. It is not a tournament by design. Comparing it to a tournament, while somewhat interesting, is apples/oranges.
It’s a exhibition.
I wouldn't go that far. Yes of course there isn't "opponent pressure" but there's ridiculous amounts of performance pressure.
