merylane said:ive always been told by the old timers that the record is 23 by greenleaf on a 10 footer
seen 13 on a barbox 4 of em on the break.
i think buddy said he done 15.
Bobby said:I believe Neils Feijen ran 15 consecutive 9-ball
racks last year or the year before. Johnny Archer
also ran 15 racks while gambling with Bustamante
around 1993, he ran out a set to 13 and then
started the next set with 2 racks...I guess that
counts as 15 racks. I've also heard from several
old-timers that Luther Lassiter ran 21 racks in
practice.
My personal best is 5 racks, that was about 5-6
years ago and I haven't run more than 3 racks
since then.
sjm said:Under the heading of pool's unsolved mysteries is whether Lassiter actually ran the twenty-one pack. I heard in the early 1970's that he had done it in the early 1960's on a 4 1/2 x 9, and asked several pros about it over the years. Though a couple of them had heard of it, most hadn't, which raised grave doubts about whether it really happened. Those that had heard of it couldn't verify it. I remember Irving Crane felt strongly that it had never happened, but he added that if anyone had run than many, it was surely Lassiter.
Crane was more inclined to tell the story of when he matched up with Johnny Irish in the 1950's for $1,000 per race to six, a big bet by the standards of the day. Irish won the lag, and broke and ran six. They lagged again, and Irish won the lag, and, sure enough, Irish broke and ran another six. Thoroughly demoralized, Crane paid the bet and unscrewed, $2,000 lighter and having not actually played a single shot. Irish's unfinished 12 pack was something Irving spoke of often.
