Sorry if this is old news, fellow players ask me about it and don't have the time looking for it right now.
What where the exact playing conditions under which the record was achieved?
What kind of table?
What kind of cloth?
What size of pockets?
What kind of balls?
Thanks in advance for your time.
In general:
HARD AS HELL. Most couldn't drop 626 balls into a five gallon bucket without missing.
Dont really matter to most but here is what i remember:
Corners were 5"
Sides were ~5.25 to 5.5"
Cloth....i think it was 860 simonis ...tournament blue?
Rack.....Sardo
CB.....Measles
Object balls.... Arimath brand but not sure which.
Table.....9'....not sure what brand.
Setting...... public room with a few spectators
Having said ^^^^^^:
Do none 9f your "fellow players" not have internet or not EVER read AZB at all?
Reason i ask is because if even one of the "fellows" did, it would've been impossible to miss any one of the multiple threads about it since the day John ran the gazillion balls.
Not saying your not honest but its hard to imagine someone in any part of the pool world NOT knowing already.
