    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    That is not how I remember it.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    I disagree. They clearly disclosed the measurements and since there is no actual standard in pool, other than the BCA specs, which apparently nobody gives a rats derriere about, here we are. If the BCA specs were to be strictly agreed to for all tournaments, I'd be on your side in this. But they...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    Personally I don't care about the pockets on the table. Mosconis record was set on large pockets and so was John Schmidts. Now people are trying to move the goalposts to avoid the record getting broken...Also the whole question is rather bad. If he WERE playing on a Diamond, he might not have...

    It sure is.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    OOOOHHH; NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Just shy of 400...Can't believe he shot that shot, he looked like he was going to run 1000 balls.

    Looks like it will take an act of God or a skid to stop him.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    The balls seem to react a little more sluggishly.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    I'm amazed he got out of that one. That was solid play, I have to admit it.

    End of rack 24 should be interesting.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    WTF is up with this speed, lol. The stream lags, and when it resumes 3-5 balls are gone:LOL: I'm loving the way he's hitting his breakshots. He really went to school on the Mosconi angle.

    So it should be easily broken now that the incentive is there, is that your prediction?

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    I was one of the people who thought the record stood because the (9ball) pros couldn't break it. And I stand by it. Schmidt needed many, many tries and dedication over a long period of time and he is in the top tier of straight pool players. Other people have tried, this isn't the first attempts...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    It was a very difficult breakball to get position on and his keyball was suspect af, which provoked the miss. But he's learning on the job and we may see less and less of that. Seeing some signs of frustration. He's throwing his cue at the ball a bit. Hope he can keep it together for another run.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    I doubt he's listening to me, so you should take that up with him! Anyway, I'd never approve of going into clusters blindly, especially from beneath! But I've seen more nice, simple patterns now than when he started and he always gets good on the breakball when he does that. However, there are...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    He's going into clusters without insurance balls and getting stuck, over and over. He's mostly shooting his way out of these traps, but can he keep it up for 600+ balls?

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    Hmm... Centre table breakball, this will be interesting. AAAAAaand, perfect outcome. Wow.

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    He just made a great recovery, shooting a long shot with the cueball wedged in a pocket, then he went into a 2 ball cluster from beneath and got stuck...And banked a ball, length of the table. He's getting away with murder right now. There are some really positive developments in his play since...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    The game is played a bit in Europe, so most European players on the Eurotour will probably have some knowledge of the game, especially Germans and the Dutch. I'm not entirely sure how much 14.1 Filler plays, though. Thorsten would be my top pick if he had some time to prepare. There are quite a...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    He has a chance, perhaps the best chance of all the top 9 ballers, however it's a long shot. A week isn't all that long. I think, whomever really wants to beat the record needs to set aside some serious time to practise to get into the groove, before showing up. I remember an earlier thread...

    Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

    From what I've seen so far, his patterns are worse than Earls. He'll get a good number, but to break the record, something has to change.
