High run on a Diamond Pro

I think the answer is 403, in this country, and it belongs to John Schmidt.

Scott, John's run of 403 was on a fairly forgiving GC @ Barry Bs. place.
The week prior to that John was at my place for about 4 days working with Landon and John's high run over the 4 days was about 120 on my diamond pro. John mentioned that his high run on a diamond pro was about 285 at that time. (Edited-See RBC post below)
My high run on a diamond pro is 108......It took me 415 runs of 30 or higher to achieve that....

Scott,
Johns high run of 403 was on a Gold Crown.
I just talked to him about high runs on his Diamond at home. In the last 6 months, since he got the table, he has had 7 runs over 150. This includes a high run of 224 which was just last week. He also ran 169 on video.
According to John, the Diamond is much tougher for high runs. The rails are so fast it is hard to kill the cue ball, and of course the pockets are very tight.
I have to brag a little. The 224 and most of the other runs over 150 were in just the last couple of weeks since John switched to our new 408 series cue. John has been playing with a prototype cue we built for him last year, but has just switched to the production version. He absolutely loves it, and is looking forward to the US Open in a few weeks.

You may be right!
I know that John's 224 was not documented.
The 169 was video taped though, and that may be the highest documented run on a diamond.

I believe that table had 4.5 inch pockets, but it was not a Diamond.
I agree that running 100 on a Diamond is more difficult than on a "bucket pocket" table.
I know that Jeanette Lee ran her 152 (against our own sjm) on a Diamond that is a bit tougher than the ones at DCC. That is the highest run (on ANY type of table) that I have heard of for a woman.

WOW, that's awesome! Imagine what Willie could have done with a cue like that. Technology breeds progress, I guess. It's strange how the equipment in golf has become so much better, but the scores don't really reflect it. To compensate for the 300+ drives, they just make the courses longer. Maybe we will someday switch to 5X10' tables with 3" pockets? If that happens soon enough, there's no stopping Earl Strickland. :grin:RBC said:
Anybody have a high run for 4" sides and corners?
