Ah, yes, you have proven your superiority. Get fucked moron.

It's in the straight pool challenge archives here on AZB: Please post a video of your high run here. I'll wait.

The run was finished at 45. The new run started at ball 46 of the old run.

This is your pronouncement. Again I ask, "Because?". By what authority do you proclaim this?

Because? Edit: There are no guidelines for "high run attempts" anywhere. There are rules for specific events (ex. Derby), but neither John's or Jayson's attempts were bound by rules like these.

Do you dispute that he made 669 legal straight pool shots in a row? Because that is all the record measures.

No. Just the first rack. And yes, if you did this your run would be legitimate. Your high run is counted from the time you made your first legal ball until you make your last legal ball. Anything before or after that has no bearing on it. The fact that Jayson started his run of legal shots in...

Report that to all the high run contest organizers. The guys at the derby will be devastated that they've been doing it wrong all these years.

What is the difference between the 8-ball smash approach that you're mocking, and the traditional opening break shown in the video above? Essentially zero.

You are wrong. High run contests start with 14 racked, 1 object ball wherever you like, and BIH anywhere.

You go right ahead and start your run attempt with an 8-ball style break, and start scoring from your first pocketed ball. It would be totally legitimate in my opinion. The big challenge in straight pool is NOT found in the first rack.

What in the hell are you talking about? My high run is 55. My opponent missed part-way through a rack, I finished the rack and broke the next, and missed after 55 balls. You're suggesting the first few balls of my run don't count? WTF are you on? Edit: Mosconi's run was also from a game...

We call that a "perfect pop-n-stop". It's what I try to do every time I break down the middle, which I only attempt with a perfectly tight rack. On most tables I get to play on I'm stuck using the 2nd ball break.

This is what happens on any shot that is hit with a lot of force. It is impossible to get a truly level cue, so basically any hard break shot is just a low-arc jump shot. Same physics apply. Best approach is to use as level a stroke as possible, and ignore the physics of it. Hitting the ball...

Always solve your problems early. Sounds like in your example shot 1 solves all stripes problems right off the bat. Barring specifics I go stripes.

As a dead minimum, meaning they consider any less to be completely unplayable, and they are stretching the numbers a bit to sell bigger tables. As others have said, shorty cues are poison. If you can't get a full stroke, all around the table, don't bother. I must've spent 4 hours measuring my...

Safe. Cut the 5 past the 13, leave the cueball as far back on this end of the table as possible.

Saturated posted a pic. The permarack template is the big white sheet with the holes. That's what you use to place the donuts. The pic Saturated posted: Outside the rack. I use my thick-walled plastic rack to mark the table, and still use it to rack as it's faster than placing the balls...

Naw, it doesn't really play different from the divots of a well trained table. The rings virtually never interfere.

Yup, that's what perma-rack uses. Here's a pic of it on my table, I color the rings blue before I stick em:
