Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

So it should be easily broken now that the incentive is there, is that your prediction?
On 294. Nice high break ball coming up.
You are right in the sense that it is probably closer to the typical or average table out there than it is to a tight diamond, but wrong in the sense of it not being ridiculous. While there are lots of easy tables out there, this table is on the extreme end of the spectrum about as easy as a table can possible get so there aren't many tables out there at all that are easier.
If it is closer to the typical table than a Diamond, then how in the hell can it be described as ridiculous? This is pool as it was played for generations.
Shaw is now at 300 and looking good after a couple sketchy moments in this rack.
I'm out of touch with how pool is generally played? I've been playing for 58 years. All I said was, and I was very clear, it LOOKS very generous- I said that I don't know for sure since I have not played on it - period!! It was an observation- no need to say what you said.
On 308. Choppy video now.
WTF is up with this speed, lol. The stream lags, and when it resumes 3-5 balls are gone
I'm loving the way he's hitting his breakshots. He really went to school on the Mosconi angle.

As I said earlier, if Warren buffet said he would pay a million dollars to every single person who could run 627 or more balls (on equipment like Mosconi did his 526, or like Schmidt did his 626, or like the equipment in use for this challenge) by January 16, 2023 (one year from today), there would be dozens of players who would accomplish it including a number of players from other billiard disciplines on other table types such as snooker players and Chinese 8 ball players.
I don't know what the chances are for somebody doing it in this setting because I don't know the terms of the incentive or what it is, don't know how long each player is going to try for, etc, etc. But my statement from the first paragraph above makes my belief real clear. Do you agree that with a large incentive that a number of players in the dozens would break the record within a year?
I will also add this. If Jayson were to spend eight hours a day every day for the next month try to break the record, he would probably be somewhere close to even money to do it. But given a year spending eight plus hours a day (which is what players would be doing if the incentive were big enough)? There would be dozens who would be better than even money to do it.

I don't think he's the underdog to any player alive at this moment in straight pool.

I think it would be fairer just to say it’s a generous table for top professional players to be playing on.

Well then maybe I shouldn't have used the term ridiculous, but what was the table John played on that was a question.
End of rack 24 should be interesting.
He's stuck thinking about this past few minutes:

I noticed also as the number gets up there he's well aware of it. He is slowing down and hesitant, a lot of that free wheel is gone. I'm not going to call it dogging it, but it's all of a sudden looking a little more difficult.
Wow he made a break ball from there. On 336.
What a finish to rack 24 holy cow
