That sounds like it would be both entertaining and educational. I can't buy one right now because I'm moving shortly and sort of holding my breath to make sure all the checks clear for costs associated with that.

But once you sell out these 30, I'd suggest you make a bunch more copies and keep taking orders. I'll buy one from your next batch if you make one. If I ever ran 245 on tight equipment, I know I'd want to make some profit from it!!!

For that matter you should send one to Billy Incardona. I recently borrowed from a friend accu-stats' video of a Sigel-Varner match from the 2000 US Open 14.1. I guess Sigel had taken some time off the game at that point, and had played you in his first match of the tournament, and the match I was watching was his second.

Anyway, Incardona kept talking about how the Varner match was his first real test in a long time, pointing out that although he had played a match before it, "John Schmidt is not exactly a household name", and "playing a Nick Varner is a much better test of his best 14.1 game than playing against a John Schmidt".

Now I was watching this in 2006, knowing that you've run over 400 balls, and that nobody is the favorite against you when you're playing your best straight pool, and wondering whether Billy remembers saying that. I think it would be funny if you sent him a 245-ball run on tough equipment from "some unknown kid named John Schmidt".

Great! This would definitely be something I'd be interested in. Money orders only?

Hi John,

You might want to bring some to the IPT next month. I for sure will buy one and I'll pay you cash there. Now if you could do a video on how to run 245 racks of 8 ball in a row. :rolleyes: :p

Sample clip?

John,
You should try to post a sample clip of a few minutes on youtube so people can get an idea of the quality before shelling out the $35. I'm sure some of the resident computer nerds on AZB could help you do that.

I, for one don't need a sample.

John Schmidt running 245 is enough for me. The commentary is icing on the cake.

Well, it's easy to see who the straight pool fanatics on the board are.

I'm with DMG. If the commentary had no video, and was accompanied only by stick figure/crayon drawings, then DMG and myself would still be on board.

To the non-fanatics, I can only say, "straight pool nuggets are precious and few, you'd better pick them up if you see them lying on the ground." You DO NOT say, "damn, that nugget looks a little dirty, I think I'll leave it lying there on the ground."

Send me 12 free copies and I will upload a sample on the computer. Just kidding!

Do you have the video on your computer so you can use some video editing program to cut out a clip?
