Anyone notice John has taken a Mosconi-esque pool stance in these high runs as of late? He's more upright and looking down on the shot (like Willie had to shoot).also it minimizes fatigue of bending lower and extreme sighting in on every shot.
This appears to allow him to stay more relaxed and not aggravate his back while on mega high rack-runs.
Just an observation.

He has done that in the past but, it was always after he had ben playing for a long time.
So, your assumptions are spot on. Long, up table shots, he will get much closer to cue. As long as he is in the pack (half table play), he is much more upright, especially deeper into the run.
Most anyone over 30s ish will start to have aches and pains after standing and/or walking for hour and hours on end with almost no break at all.
Not to mention, all the bending over to pick up a piece of chalk after being dropped (im guilty of that a lot), picking at the felt....for us OCD people etc...etc. Add that to all the energy spent during getting into and out of stances, well, that's a days work.....a hard days work.
