Thanks Maxwell
Just wanted to say that it is an honor to even be compared to the great players from the past (Mr. Mosconi). I will mention that there were no fouls during this run - by this I mean I never touched an object ball with my cue or otherwise other than my tip hitting the white ball, at one time touching an object ball with your sleeve was a foul AS IT SHOULD BE. No jump shots eiher, another fact is that I was completly free of any influence of drugs or alcohol or as C.J. would say 'real eyes'.:wink: I really was going to be happy with any run over 350 and the table did not have shaved slate near the pocket - as if to create a downward slide for any approaching ball. If anything the table had some issues that held me back many different times. I have run over two hundred more than one hundrerd different times but prior to this had only ran over three twice. I understand that rotation pool is the modern day game of choice in the tournaments however one facet I love about disciplines like One Pocket and 14.1 is that the player is not dictated or forced to pocket his or her shots in any particular order FREEDOM. Plus in 14.1 re-rack there are many choices and it's up to the player at the table to make the correct decision and or get the full value of what the table has to offer. So again thanks for all the kind responses I thank God for giving me the hand-eye coordination and perseverence to complete this - during the run around one hour and forty-five minutes I felt as alive as I have ever felt plus I did find the center of the cue ball and of the pocket. I am currently in the process of burning the DVD off the hard drive of the DVR, after I do the voice over and a few geek squad tech savy details I will start a thread here on AZBilliards 14.1 section for anyone who might be interested in purchasing the DVD. More than anything I am thankful that this might spark some interest in 14.1 than I am breaking anyones record (even if it is Schmidt). I would be fibbing even I did not say that breaking Schmidt's old record was not a bit of feather in my cap.

Going back over the video on the DVR tonight I saw that I missed once early in the run and did not catch the error until now. I did not run the 379 that I had thought previously, the correct number of balls pocketed in this run is 351. I apologize for any confusion but I still feel that it was a great run that ended on a skid. I understand now that it is NOT the most balls pocketed on camera, however I will still have this available for the public to view - once I figure out how to convert irf. format to a dvd. I feel compelled to predict that once I repair the table and have it re-covered that 400 might be around the corner. I read once that self awareness and arrogance don't work well together, yellow journalism was not my intention here and again I apologize for 'jumping the gun'. I also hope this does not affect Jay Helfert and Fatboy's kind offer. Plus I did mis-cue once in the run and made the ball in the pocket. I was happy with any run over 350 but this does not surpass Mr Schmidt's record of 366 and i stand corrected.
