If you spend time finding a break shot and speed you like, you can get a perfect starting spread on most attempts.

I’ve often thought about which is more difficult, starting mid run or with a break shot. I think for me, mid rack is technically harder because, as you mention, every milestone is one additional break shot away. For these guys, I don’t think it matters at all because they are running such big...

I’d pay for that. Let’s set some match play records. The highest run in an actual game that im aware of is Feijens 300+

Yea agree, to not at least give him credit from the next breakshot onward is ludicrous.

Wait is this a clever marketing strategy to get us all to buy the run? Now I have to see this suspicious 45th ball!

Your turn starts where the balls finished after a miss, safety or foul. And to answer your question, it would be a 2 pack. I’m not suggesting we give him credit for the balls prior to the foul if we insist on all ball fouls.

I don’t understand why a run can’t start in the middle of the rack as long as the balls aren’t placed by hand. We don’t rerack on every miss in competition. But even so, why wouldn’t you at least accept the run starting at the next break shot? Maybe he has three records lol.

Agree, definitely consider that cheating.

Yeah this is akin to placing the black on the edge of the spot in snooker to get bit more (or less) angle.

I didn’t know you could do that!

I think he is now past Shane’s high run.

These stats would suggest that if John played under similar conditions as Jayson, he would likely run similar numbers as Jayson. I think the lack of the template rack is what may stop him from getting 400+ in the next couple days.

My table has pockets that are bit looser than 4.25”. Most of my friends and family only play pool casually. They find my table to be unplayable and get pretty frustrated with it. Now imagine what it would be like if it were actually 4”. I’m a big fan of 4” pockets for the pros since I think...

Maybe, but MR is specifically focused on 9 ball and wants to set the standard for 9 ball equipment. Although the prospect of 14.1 on 4.25” pockets intrigues me, I recognize that I’m in the minority here. And frankly, we don’t have a good history of differentiating pocket specs, conditions or...

I’m a bit shy of that. 38 and counting. But I’m a history nut. If someone found lost footage of Greenleaf, Caras, Ponzi or Mosconi, I’d faint.

I agree, sadly a lot of pools history is locked in a vault somewhere. I’d rather have a poor quality version of an old 80s match where Mizerak was near his prime than nothing at all.

Ok so I’m totally on board with hating the purple 5. But what’s all this about the brown 7? Are we all interior decorators now and maroon and brown are so different from each other? It reminds me of picking out cupboards for my kitchen when I said I wanted white door panels. They pulled out...

Congrats on the purchase. I’d love to see the Vimeo service continue. The last communication I had (prior to the sale) was they were going with another platform. Personally, I prefer to watch matches on my big screen tv, so Vimeo fills that need nicely since the have an AppleTV app. I wasn’t...

I agree, it’s going to be much harder action for snooker players these days. I think just the ability of the top players with the jump cue will make it impossible to go far. But as long as pool is fully open, they have a chance to go a few rounds in since there are plenty of amateurs and...
