Eagle Eye Takes Aim at 14.1 High Runs

[markjames]

A lot of people are glad you were wrong.

You picked a good number too.

there are two things i was wrong about
jayson did not melt
jayson did not melt down

i admitted my mistake in the thread
this afternoon.

but if he scratched on his break ball
in rack 51, isn’t the number 713?

The break ball he scratched on would have been 715.

No. That has been talked about several times. Apparently, if you were playing a 14.1 match in a tournament, and on your first turn you ran 100 balls, then scratched on your 101st ball, then your "score" would be recorded as 99, and your "run" would be recorded as 100. Here, they are attempting high "runs" not high "scores".

One thing is for sure you will never know if jayson did it for free or made a million dollars. I know thats burns your ass straight through your wet diapers doesnt it.

Let me check......still dry! But o do have a room owner wanting mt to build out a GC3 to play better than yours so JS can set a record of a 1,000+ run, so not only can I match the pockets on your table, I can also make the cushions play better for 14.1 and I have a better cloth for playing 14.1 on, Stevens 22oz Superweave, so I told him I'd think about his offer, but I don't know if I can stomach building a circus table just to do that, how do you handle it knowing you're running this event on a gaffe table??

He ran 51 racks and scratched on the break. 51x14=714

So sad....

Unfortunately, they miscounted somehow: Jayson was only at 625 there. When you start a rack, there are 15 balls on the table. When someone told him he had beaten 626, and he celebrated by showing his bicep to the camera, there were 6 object balls left on the table, i.e. there were 9 balls in the pockets. There is no amount of racks plus 9 that adds up to 627 balls:

43 racks x 14 = 602
44 racks x 14 = 616
45 racks x 14 = 630

If he had missed the next shot, which he shot by stretching out diagonally on the table with a 30" bridge and poked at the ball, I think he would have been pretty disappointed.

Of course they miscounted, who wouldn't be excited af to become a legend

Thankfully he continued making the ball

I've seen pictures of those pockets, do you really believe after working on pool tables for 40 years, I can't look at a picture of a corner pocket an tell if something is off or not????

Yes.

I predict Shaws high run to be around 318, but no higher than that. He moves to many balls un-needlesy because he don't see his way through the pattern layouts well.

Duh!!! Here is your post. Now who is the dumb ass. Haha!! (oh, also you could say unnecessarily or needlessly but there is no word un-needlessly)

 

[lfigueroa]

I contribute a lot of knowledge to this conversation it's just way over your head

You contribute what a little kid screaming at a nearby restaurant table contributes while everyone else is trying to have a nice dinner.

Yes.

What ever you think

yeah, baby ;-)

[wayne]

I never said that, YOU did to try and make yourself look better you dumbass.

Go back and look at your post #42 in this thread and you will realize you are the dumbs!!!

 

[realkingcobra]

yeah, baby ;-)

Prove me wrong, show me how 2 balls touch each other in the throat of that pocket like the do on ALL stock GC pockets

 

[7stud]

Okay, who at azbilliards is going to join that club and smuggle in a protractor? You might make more money selling pictures of the pocket with a protractor on it than JS will make selling his 626 video.

The photo perspective is deceiving ;-)

we have been over this
frequently

 

[Straightpool_99]

Why would you rely on pool players to decide the pocket geometry, shit, 99% of all of you posting here don't know shit about the pocket geometry, so why not just leave that up to the table manufacturers, at least most of them know what they're doing!!!

They don't. Example one: Olhausen.

Then you shouldn't have a problem taking a picture with 2 balls in the back of the pocket, right?

Post the picture, that's all I've wanted all along, just to prove a point. Do that and I have nothing left to post about.

Geez. I have explained numerous times.

Go wa-wa somewhere else.
