The argument that Willie ran his 526 against an opponent is dumb. The match was over at 150 balls.
John Schmidt has beaten Mosconi

Lol, very few people would share that opinion on 1 pocket being a better game than straight pool. Congratulations to John, such a great achievement. The best thing that could come out of it is to help create additional interest in pool and hopefully 14.1 the best of all pool games.
I'd wager that 14.1 will not become very popular. People these days like fast games. They like all or none games. Only the money ball matters.
I ran a few more than that in front of some friends but it was on an 8’ with new cloth, 5” pockets and snooker reds so I don’t really count it as “beating” his record. I wasn’t even gonna say anything cuz I’m not like that but...

Amazing accomplishment!!!! F*ck the haters!!
Then you got an attention span of a 5 year old, which doesn't surprise me since you always post dumb things here on the forum....
And Mosconi was getting paid a decent salary to play 2-3 games of straight pool per day. Since you seem to have missed all the important points in your own damn post.
................
And the majority of people are not champion players, such as Johnny Ervolino. I'd rather take his single opinion over 100,000 "bangers".
That reads like a personal attack.....
How about you eat the peanuts......
You know I'm telling the truth. It would be difficult to win a large audience of fans for a game, when they aren't even aware it exists. Ask people on the street if they've ever heard of 14.1 or Straight Pool.
I know it's a great game. It's a great accomplishment. It's a very big deal.
The general public knows what 8 Ball is. Some even know what 9 Ball is. Ask them if they know what 14.1 or Straight Pool is. They don't.
wow big up mr. 626! what an incredible accomplishment..I hope to catch th vid!

Congrats John. I’m patiently waiting to buy the video. Commentary would be a nice addition.
What an accomplishment.

I wonder how many more balls Mosconi would have ran with a low deflection shaft like Mr. 600 played with? :thumbup:
In all serious, this is nothing short of an incredible feat in pool history. Simply amazing!! BRAVO!!!

I just got home tonight after a night of playing pool myself, and I'm very happy to see this news.
Beating the record by 100 balls and on a 9 foot table to me is literally shattering the record.
Anyone that doesn't think that this is anything short of amazing, just watch one of John's 400+ runs. This is exciting news. I can't wait to watch the 626.

PT - You're a poet and may even know it! :grin:
I'll give you one thing, lol.... your consistently wrong.
What about? Well, other than pretty much everything you've said about pool in general but, to the point:
People are not eager to play fast games. People are not eager to play slow games either.
You want to know what game/games people are eager to play? Well, the most popular game on earth is the "EASIEST" game.
The fast part is true but not in the way you used it.
People like 9 ball for example, not because they can walk around the table faster, shoot faster etc...etc, its because they cant do the one thing 14.1 REQUIRES and that is:
CONCENTRATE for long periods of time.
I've said it before and I'll say it here, the biggest difference between most strong rotation type player and strong 14.1 players is the ability to hold concentration for a long time.
You can think of concentration as "in gear", "the zone", "dead punch". People dont slip in and out of "stroke". People's concentration, comes and goes...
The player that can concentrate the longest, is the very player that will be the best 14.1 player and the best 9 and 10 ball player when the races get long enough to matter.
You started off on the wrong foot on AZB. No worries though, I sorta did the same and others have too.
Just slow your roll and you'll be alright.
I was told to read more and post less....lol...its good advice to most here.

Do your history, kid. I'm not your damn teacher, you can teach yourself all that.
From what I am reading, you are looking like you're on the wrong side of things, that's for damn sure.
Enjoy the bashing folks here are going to do to you. I will just sit back and see you make a fool out of yourself.
By the way, stop making post on your dumb questions. If you look up on your tab, there's this special button called the "Search" button. Don't be a lazy ass and answer your questions there.
