So what your saying is all pool players should die lonely, divorced and destitute.

Wow, conflation and projection all on one post, congrats you win a participation trophy 🏆

Just watching this match got me to thinking how a really slick table changes the game. Really hard to hold the ball and on some shots even Earl was struggling not to overrun the ball. It changes the way you stroke and the way you play position and is not conducive to punching the ball at all. Is...

Great to see Darrens tactical prowess on show as well.

:ROFLMAO:

Room owners sho gonna be mad when they have to install 5 different types of table.

I think the 626 thread and all the other threads about this run speak for themselves and it's clear to me neither were done right, all IMHO of course.

That sounds like a reply I would have gotten from the lady that ran that disastrous grade 3 sports day event my kids attended had I expressed any emotion short of ecstatic.

Given the sad state of Pools governance I would opt for the WPA standards as that is what is used currently for most Pro events. I'm a big fan of Jasons game, followed his trajectory since he played English pool, disappointed that this was not done right.

You think if JS had done his run on a factory fresh Diamond that thread would have gone the way it did? I don't think it would have.

And all of this could have been easily avoided, lay down 700+ on a proper table and it would have shut down all debate and the nastiness that has come with it.

Personally if I were a player of Jason's stature I would not partake if the tables weren't of pro standard, it detracts from his brand imo. Lay down 4 or 500 hundred on a proper table and you create yourself a legacy and much respect.

Why on earth do folks run events or make record attempts under conditions that they will forever have an asterisk next to, just do it right the first time and make history that is indisputable. No one ever questions the legitimacy of Ronnies 147's or his number of centuries, because it's done right.

These from the WPA are a bit different than the BCA "Amateur" Specs The purpose of these specifications shall be to set standards for equipment used at all WPA World Championships, WPA World Tour events and other WPA sanctioned and/or recognized events. These specifications do not necessarily...
