Understood, good point.
I’ll go Yogi Berra style and revise my goal to run 50 or 100, whichever happens first.
I have the dvd, your dvd! Excellent work. Why the attitude? I was simply pointing out that the balls were probably not cleaned as often as they were on John Schmidt's record breaking run. I was saying if they had been then maybe that ball wouldn't have skid and you would've been the one setting the record.
And yes, I am an amateur, a very observant one.:thumbup:
"add vice:" amateur speller
thanks for the add vice, why compare my game to that loser.

u are a liar, myself and a couple others are the only one's who have seen the skid so do not try to act as if u have seen it or can even begin to acknowledge the severity of that particular shot. Moron. Add vice is correct spelling 4 peeple such as u.
Man, I'd hate to think what JS would be if he threw an anvil at your head instead of just a cube of chalk easy tough guy, I'm just playing with ya !!
If you have a table at your house and practice 14.1 regularly - your opinion on why we the people 'general public' are blocked from seeing proof of the bca' dragon promo/schmidt, predator mystery tape - is valuable to me...
That sort of level-headed reasoning and rational thought is just going to put you higher on his list of enemies.I guess I qualify so here's my opinion. I think if the BCA reviewed the unedited run then it probably is legit, as in he ran 626. I'm not convinced that incidental infractions such as touching a ball would necessarily be identified or even cared about by such a BCA review. Given that "the powers that be" have put their stamp of approval on the run, JS has calculated that his best chance for a financial return is through the private viewings. Or, maybe he enjoys the idea of sharing the run with people in a theater type environment. Whatever the reason it's his run to do with as he pleases.
Having said that, I think the unedited run has to be made available to a wider audience, if not necessarily to everybody, so that the run can really be validated. If JS said something like the video was never going to be released then I would change my mind and assume there was a problem. I think that it will be released sometime in the not too distant future but that's just a guess.
If I had to put money on it, I'd say the run is legit, but I wouldn't feel confident.

I ran 12 balls once, but I was playing one pocket
, I never played straight pool or 3 cushion because where I lived, nobody gambled at it.
Well ,once in a while they played 3 cushion race to 25 for 5 dollars , a game took all day, and straight pool was 5 cents a point , race to 100. You won a dollar if you had 100 and they had 80 wheeeee.
That might take 2 days.
Ok there big brother Dan, but as you once told me there are rules - and we must make sure those rules (for fake news about extraordinary claims) are followed. Besides moving a ball inadvertently, there has to be a triangle line drawn around the rack that is the same size as the rack that is being used - or else a player can manipulate space while re racking - my guess with schmidty is there isn't a traced line for the public to sea' plus probly a very thick rack to boot. The worst infraction would be a glitch in their theatrical production (non continuous air time) this is where john's buddy got caught here on az, the graph or geek squad will be imperative to clear their tape of any larcenous vermin new sponsor 'hill of fame' activity. The fact that they have not released the tape for sale to general public (poor marketing) almost a full year after their (powhers' that should let b) grandiose claim was made is a huge warning flag - and not fair to the student of 14.1. Otherwise Mosconi's family should sue predator cues and their hall of fame banquet for all it's worth - capiche.
If a 14.1 pocket billiard player posts a new high run of more than 150 here in Straight Pool section of az (well known/popular or not) - without video, I will assume they are needing attention from the mods - or shall I say potential puppets and their claim should be discredited immediately.
That's a good point. When I got hooked on 14.1 I used Danny Diliberto's commentary as my initial goal. In an Accustat match Danny said if a guy can run 40 Balls and can play solid defense then he would be a good competitor in 14.1. That match and commentary was from the 90s but it was a good goal for me.Just a suggestion. Set your goal for 50 balls first. Deep down most people set 100 as their goal because their ego won't let them set it lower. Even though you've broken 50 before it might not be so easy to do it again. I think you will play with more motivation if your goal is a little closer. Think about it. Why not make your goal 627? Think about why that would be stupid and then consider 300, 200, 100. Just prove you can do 50 first!
You best chance is to do it when the table and balls are new, IMO.
Congrats ur a gambler and u can read. wheeee off topic and irrelevant as well.
Your name rings a bell Chip, I am sure I have heard it before. Thinking you were a good player at one time 184 is World class achievement in Straight Pool. I would rather see a 150 ball run that looks easy minimal cue ball movement) than a sporadic 300+ ball run where the player at table has to pocket many difficult hits with too much cue ball movement (end game).
