In the last week (approx), John hit a 420, 350, and last night reached 490.
That’s some off the hook $hit right there. There’s a unique combination of skill and OCD that is simply amazing.
Freddie <~~~ go John
damn 490 is close.
he would break 527 for sure on an 8ft.

If they switched to an 8 footer at Derby City, 527 would fall in the very first year, and 1,000 would be quite possible. Even so, I'd call a 1,000 on an eight footer much less of an accomplishment than Cranfield's 420 on a 10-footer.
Switching to an 8-footer would be like lowering the basket on a basketball court. A lot more people could dunk!
John will get the exhibition record on a 9-footer. I'm very confident of it. Patience.
I'm guessing that's as close as anyone has been to 526 in a long time. It has to be a huge letdown to get that close - running 35 complete racks and within 2-1/2 racks of the record, and then (I'm guessing) missing on the break shot? He knows now more than ever that he can do it, and he needs to stay at it until he does! I'd love to know the side and corner pocket specs on this table he is currently playing on?wow a 490? i didnt even know about that, oh ok it was just last night
a new high for him
dammmnnn

Hey Freddie, do you know if these runs that fall short will ever be streamed/posted? I'm sure the record breaker will be for sale, of which id buy it, especially if John does a running commentary (like he did in Accu-Stats player review 14.1 series).
Now that would be a Derby event to remember! What are the odds that a novelty table could be built to the same Mosconi record table specs by diamond (remember they made a no side pockets table for Earl). That would be quite interesting to see how the best 14.1 players out there like John, Thorsten, Filler, etc would perform in the heat of the moment.

Freddie, where is John playing at?
I know he will be going to Monterey CA later this month.....
