300s and 400s used to wite letters to the National Billiard News,
in an open letter to Mosconi, HE said he was sure Willie could
run 1000 if he had ever cared to.
So what's the source of your opinion?
players played with tougher equipment back then,,,i think they were BETTER back then.
but unless some does it at an appointed time and place, saying he could means nothing. if i ran two racks with ease and ended it there, saying "see how easy,,,,i can run three more racks",,,well you know as well as i that simply doesn't happen(*snap*) just like that.
the actual running of 1000 balls is within everyone's grasp, and there probably isn't a pro out there who doesn't think he can....but all it takes is ONE ball to roll 1/8" too far and you're screwed. if it was that easy, then willie should have run 150 every time he came to the table........but he didn't - so what stopped him,,,probably that ball rolling 1/8" too far.
