they claim so.. i never seen more.
Me either. I've heard of Wimpy, Archer and Earl running 10 or more but not on video.
It's been a while since I watched it, but Chang Jung Lin has a 10 pack on video in a match. It's in a race to 11 too.
They're still 4.5" corners with Diamond's pocket angles and deep shelves. The cloth was 2 weeks old . Saw Shane bobble some balls that went in too .
It was a great run, but what's up with the two at the back of the rack every time? The one and the two end up near each other at the head of the the table every time, and the wing ball is wired. I consider that pattern racking. There certainly are more impressive packages that have been run. Still a great run but the conditions were very favorable.

They agreed to that stipulation . 2 on that spot and no same pattern all the time .
Put them in the octagon.
Obviously, great players know how to take advantage of the equipment they are playing on. If they were tighter pockets, he probably would have split it dead center!
There's crappy video of Ko's 11 rack steal on Dennis but you can't really see anything either. In the sidebar of this match there's the finale from the previous 120 where DO does the same thing - banks the one high and ends up dead out. He does this real comical schtick running around the table every rack. Probably bonked SVB more than the swing itself.
I understood that it was agreed upon. Imo, it does take something away from the feat, or I should say that a 10 pack accomplished with a truly random rack would be more impressive.
To be sure, it certainly was impressive. That stipulation was put in there to guarantee packages run. If you position back up table your odds of getting shape on the first ball in the run is astronomical. Both the 1 and the two finish up table every time. Seems gaffy to me.

I think table plays like normal Diamond table with pro cut pockets and really slick cloth. See how little he uses speed on many shots and cueball just goes around. That why it also break so easy. I think i gotta try play some Ghost and try copy that break. 
He really is Robocop. That was some inhuman perfect play. Table is just perfect condition and he delivers!

U got something wrong there. It is Ralf Souquet who have 27 racks in 8-ball. and Niels have ran 17 racks in practice match on 9-ball...
Magic rack and pattern racking makes it much easier to run racks. A 11 pack before magic racks and pattern racking is much more difficult since there is no guarantee you will make a ball on the break and patterns are more random. See my comment by Richardson below.
