45 break and runs is impossible. I call total BS
Tend to agree here. These old stories are awesome but they do get embellished over time. GB is a great cuemaker who had a stroke a while back and is no longer building. Makes classic old-school steel joint players.
I think it was the Grisham book that stated something like he ran out over 40 racks and whoever was relaying the story said something like not 40 racks straight but 40 runouts in normal play during the session.
I was talking to Don at Airline Billiards in Dayton Ohio at a big tournament. I asked him about beating a ping pong player using a shot glass, He said no. It was the state champion and he used a big bar of Ivory soap. He was an amazing athlete. He then put on a trick shot exhibition that all the champions eagerly watched.
