I really don't know. I thought pockets of old were like 5.25" and 5.5 (corners and sides).
What size were they and what size did John run on?
is the schmidt record legit or not

I really don't know. I thought pockets of old were like 5.25" and 5.5 (corners and sides).
What size were they and what size did John run on?
Here's the info about John's fourth series of attempts:
14.1 Challenge IV
Easy Street Billiards
Monterey, California
John Schmidt Equipment List:
Rebco Pocket Billiard Table 4½ x 9
Drop Pockets - No Ball Return
Simonis 760 Tournament Cloth Blue
5 inch Corner Pockets
5½ inch Side Pockets
Sardo Rack
Super Aramith Pro Belgian Billiard Balls
Predator P3 Red Butt
Predator Revo 12.4mm Carbon Composite Shaft
19.5 oz and 58 inches
Techno Dud Tip by Outsville
Taom Pyro Blue Chalk
Predator Second Skin Billiard Glove
Predator Urbain 3x5 Hard Case Red
I question it now that I see he used a techno dud tip. Those should be illegal because they play so well.
As always Thank you sir.
Do you know the specs for the Mosconi 526?
Someone claimed John's is invalided do to the table specs (not if he did it or not).
Honestly don't know what you mean.
For clarity, I was asking because some said that because of the "conditions" of John's run it wasn't legit. My question was, did Mosconi's run get done on a table with smaller pockets? I understand the cloth would be different with different pros and cons to it. But the pocket size someone mentioned is what made me ask (since I thought but might be wrong, the old tables had larger pockets not "Pro Cut" 4.5" pockets).
And I think any run over 100 on a table with even 6" pockets would be good (but I'm a Ham'N Egger).
Hope this clears up my question/reasoning...
Oversized 8' (8 1/2 foot) table, generally thought to be same size (5 inch-ish) corner pockets. No word on what chalk was used.
I hear you...
Honestly, at this point the run seems likely, but not 100% proven.
There will be some folks who will never be convinced, or believe 626 is somehow less than what it is coz of some self-determined condition.
Now THAT's funny.
Thanks.
I just don't see pocket size being the issue. Yes I want to see it, and hope it's real. but the statement that it doesn't count because the pockets weren't regulation size caught my eye and made me wonder.
Plus I know lots that don't know what 4.5" pockets really look like (and think the balls are 2.5" not 2.25" not sure the metric size cause I'm stupid American lol)...
If you don't see issues then you are welcome on the hawk side of the forum. Or were we the rabid ground squirrels with lassos? Anyway, we're all in a field, near a fence (I think), and Harriman has his radar on while the black BCA helicopters circle. Or he's circling. I don't know, but hey, welcome to Danny's block list!
Don't get too dizzy.
I needed a laugh. I just got bad news confirmed today about surgeries coming up reeeeeel soon.
Like I said, I appreciate the laughs, but please don't make me laugh after I'm cut and then stitched up......ouch.
