Nobody really knows anything. There is no evidence he did anything at all.

I know something. He does not like a debate and will block you quicker than you can respond.


He'll block you faster than a gun fighter from an old western.

He'll block you faster than a Chuck Norris in his prime.



He likes to call you names or stupid then block you.

It's okay, he has groupies and shoots great.

Here's the BCA press release, in which your question is answered.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

John Schmidt Breaks Willie Mosconi's 65-Year-Old 14.1 High Run Record

Superior, Colo., August, 15, 2019 - The Billiard Congress of America would like to formally congratulate John Schmidt on his 14.1 exhibition high run of 626 balls, breaking Willie Mosconi's 65-year-old record of 526 balls.

On March 19, 1954 William J. Mosconi, playing in the East High Billiard Club in Springfield, Ohio, ran 526 balls in an exhibition match against Earl "Jake" Bruney. Mosconi's run lasted approximately 4.5 hours and was played on an oversized 4' x 8' Brunswick Exposition Table.

On May 27, 2019 John Schmidt, playing in the Easy Street Billiards Pool Hall in Monterey, California, ran 626 balls. Schmidt's run, recorded on video, lasted just over 4 hours and was played on a 4.5' x 9' Rebco Pocket Billiard Table on Simonis 760 cloth with 5" corner pocket openings, and 5.5" side pocket openings. Schmidt used Super Aramith Pro Belgian billiard balls, a Sardo rack, a Predator P3 Red Butt along with a Predator Revo 12.4 mm carbon composite shaft that weighed 19.5 oz and had a length of 58".

Mosconi's record took place during a 14.1 exhibition match. Having defeated his opponent, Mosconi kept shooting until he reached 526. Schmidt's record took place during an intentional attempt to break Mosconi's record. After viewing the unedited video, the Billiard Congress of America is proud to acknowledge John Schmidt's 626 run as the new 14.1 exhibition high run record.

Do you practice being a complete jack-a%^ or is it just pure natural talent??

I don't use an aiming system if that's what you're asking.

Skill + HT + Nothing to prove he actually ran any balls really ticks me off for a variety of reasons.

Anyways... back to promoting pool halls...
