It's the kind of feat that is directly linked to the size of one's pockets, everyone understands that. It would be very simple to show it to everyone at the start of the attempts, those who are really interested like to know these details. As far as I am concerned, the fact of not being able to see the true size of the pockets takes away all credit from this said feat. You have to take your word for it, so keep your video of the run to yourself, we'll take your word for it.
As far as regular pool tables it really makes little difference to me shooting on 4.5, 4.25 or 4.0 pockets. I'm sure it means even less to the pros. For me it's just harder to exploit pocketing the ball to one side to force position and definitely harder to pocket on shallow angles into the hole.
I had a Chinese 8 ball table in my pool hall. The better players who used it for 9 ball would run out pretty much like they did on a regular table....only a little less often.
I think the harder pockets keep your attention more. For sure the game is a hell of alot better than on Gold Crown 5 inch buckets.
...and the clay balls.
Amazing people just flat out refuse to read and see what’s told to them
They just want what they believe

I happen to like Bobby. I consider him a good friend. He’s a hardcore life long pool player, knows his stuff and has stood the test of time in the pool world.
But let’s pretend I didn't like him(which is NOT the case). His word is still gold, taking friendship out of the equation. The facts are the facts. And Bobby isn’t revising anything or gaffing up a table. He’s honorable and an asset to pool. He was in Jayson’s corner and racking for him, all good racks, nothing funny to “help” Jayson’s break.
The last thing Bobby needs is any help defending himself: point is in this matter he shouldn’t even be questioned beyond a simple look at the equipment. It was an old GC in mint condition, 760 as stated, all criteria was met and Jayson performed.
I’m still thrilled I got to see it live, that’s nothing I’ll ever forget even if 1000 balls is reached. It was all good from my perspective. If it wasn’t, I’d say something.

it is indeed a world record.
ive got to give credit to bobby that he set up the conditions to be relatively constant and repeatable for others to try in their own environments.
as all records they get broken one day. especially important ones as many dedicate to doing it.
this one will fall soon enough as well. who will it be, who knows. that will be the interesting thing.

I don't care what size the pockets are. Most players head would explode after 300, if they get to 300.
Less experienced not included, they would have a heart attack at 60.

All runs end at some point, whats the point?
Do you have any idea how small the # of players that have run 300 is? Rhetorical, not a dig at you
Please post you +300 run, we'll wait.
I could take the whole left side of the table off and not run 600.
100% agree, Bobby is top notch and beyond reproach.
It was nice watching it live with you, the reruns will be just as amazing. Truly a generational talent.
Took a pic of him with 2 of my buddies ar TS, he's in good spirits and sjm is sitting in the stands with his life. Winning!
I feel seen
sjm is one of my favorite people in pool. I met him maybe 15 years ago I’d guess. Could be longer. I’m honored to call him a friend. I’ve been lucky to meet some great people in pool over the years. I don’t take that for granted. Of course I’ve seen my fair share of phonies, but they get weeded out fast enough.
it's where the rail meets the pocket
I do. That’s why I say if they can get to 300.Do you have any idea how small the # of players that have run 300 is? Rhetorical, not a dig at you
I see you and I raise you.
There's 15 people alive that can get to 300
That’s exactly my point. I probably should have said it differently. If the pockets were 6 inches most of them couldn’t get to 300.
So the pockets measure what, 8 inches
