    The Siberian Express is About to Roll

    I think it comes down to what Nick pointed out up thread. Sinking balls is work. Professionals aren't going to spend a lot of time doing it unless they're paid in some way. John Schmidt decided on his own dime to try and break the record that had stood for70 years and he succeeded. Schmidt's...

    The Siberian Express is About to Roll

    Isn't it 141? Didn't he make the break (141), then get the wrong ball on the combo?

    The Siberian Express is About to Roll

    I suspect Ruslan will do well, and do better and better the longer he goes. With SVB, on his warmup day only 10% of his runs were hitting 100. On the '1st' day, 16% of his runs were hitting 100, and on both days '2' and '3' , 29% of his runs were hitting 100.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    The 241 is on Monday's video, but the 257 isn't. On an earlier post you also mentioned a couple of 140 level runs that Monday, but they aren't on Monday's video either. Is it on video?

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Wrldpro, Last night on FB, you said "Thanks again to Shane VanBoening for an exciting week of some great 14.1 high runs! We greatly appreciate it! His top five runs were 308,295,257,241,210." I can see four of those runs, but the 257 doesn't show up on any of the videos?

    EARL STRICKLAND Returns to TEAM USA

    I heard a commentator say that the US team tends to be a group of individual players who sometimes don't mesh well, and the Euro team tends to have better teamwork. The job for JJ is trying to juggle not just playing skills but also those players who have the 'best fit' in a team event.

    The Siberian Express is About to Roll

    I've been hearing that a lot from 14.1 players. The common perception seems to be that Ruslan plays better patterns. It will be interesting to see.

    Does it stop being fun?

    Lighten up maybe. What you wrote was "Think the total is 27 or 29, problem I’d people who do not understand they are luck to have to use for low cost.🤪. People suck.😭😭😭😭" This is pretty garbled wordage, and I hadn't actually noticed your post until PJ made his comment. Then i went back and...

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Thanks Nick, this really resonated with me. The big thing about John Schmidt's record of 626 was that it took 70 years for someone to get motivated to put in the time and effort to beat Mosconi's 526. Schmidt's 626 raised the profile of the game again, and now other people are chasing that...

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    I did put those two short runs in that you mentioned ( 2 and 4), but i accidentally added them to the end of Day 3, instead of just before the 308. I'll edit my database. I think there were a couple of short runs that i happened to be watching when they were being processed so I could add...

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Facebook's 3-second windows are why so many Facebook posts are just click-bait - looking for that 3 second engagement and don't care if you stay longer. "Playing 14.1? See this secret the pro's don't want you to know!" "Casinos in Vegas don't want you to know this trick". "Hilarious video of...

    Yeah, it was obvious that Xradarx was a fictitious person.

    Hi Danny! Can you show a picture of Danny Harriman and XradarX standing side by side, holding today's copy of USA TODAY? Thought not! Case closed!

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    In 1 out of 75 runs, SVB broke 300. Does that suggest that it would take SVB about 8x75 = 600 attempts to break 500? JS was 50% to run 50, and 25% to run 100. SVB was 50% to run 50, and 21% to run 100. Good work Bob!!
