Both you and your friend are in on it. For no other motive than to be mean to Danny and Willie, too.
You are correct, folks have already stated they will never believe in 626, irrespective of the unedited vid being released or not.
Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

Maybe that was sarcastic font?
The video that maybe 3 folks in the world get to see unedited outside John's circle,
It isn't up to a nationwide popular vote. It was submitted to BCA as evidence of a BCA record. They accepted it, it's done. Is it a Danny Harriman record? No, I guess not. I wasn't aware there was such a thing.
So unless you witness the run yourself, it did not happen?
two staff members, that's twice as many as most guinness world records have when they get validated.
I never said I cared if you ever accept it or not.
Guinness has zero to do with any of this, including the previous high run record.
Well, just a little...:smile:
Guinness requires video/photo of the event, without which it won't even be considered. The only relevance this has to this event is that without documented video, especially in this day and age, where video is so easily accessible, and with a deliberate record attempt, one would have to be either foolish or biased to accept the claims.
The second item I'd like to mention is that many people here accept that JS may have run 626, but that's vastly different than breaking Mosconi's, or any other, record. In order to "break" a record it "must" be under the exact same circumstances....saying otherwise does not make it so.
Actually, most of the people on this thread seem to believe or at least accept for now that the run is legitimate. You can easily conclude otherwise because the doubters post a lot and do so with vigor.
But the previous record was not a Guinness record and the new one was never intended to be one. Guinness became a caricature of itself decades ago. Its Guinness book of stupid human tricks.Well, just a little...

Sent from the future.
Aside from using Guinness as an example, it is irrelevant to the point of the post. Records are only broken when the event and it's exact circumstances are replicated. Capish?
But he did it.
If you don't believe it just ask him.
What is spelled removing every other in John's made up last name> )
That is what I think.

Pure that.

All that being said he might the best pure shot maker on the planet.

Just coz nobody has bothered to address the nutty assertion- again- doesn't mean it is accurate.
Care to explain how speed records can possibly be broken, if circumstances need be identical?
We don't know what he saw or how he viewed it.
Did he actually sit through four hours plus and watch every shot? Were there anomalies he witnessed about the table, balls, and pockets? Did he take breaks during which the video was still running?
I could go on but feel I’ve made my point.

So who at the BCA watched it -- do you know?
As I recall, the BCA nowadays, is all folks who sell pool tables, hot tubs, and equipment with their main goal being to promote their expo. As far as we know, it could have been the admin clerk and janitor who watched the video one night in between doing their job and swilling beer and eating Doritos.

Who were they?
IF you told me that the BCA had asked a couple of Hall of Fame 14.1 guys to check out JS's video -- Nick Varner, Ray Martin, Dallas West, (extra points for including Mike Sigel
-- I'd be far more inclined to accept this argument at face value.But we don't know, do we.

Yes.
There is no way he could get, though I thought he applied for, Guinness recognition.
Lou Figueroa
not even close
Danny didn't hack me, lol but I think he brought up some valid points
If someone asked who had the highest run, I'd say I don't know, I never saw Willies, Babe's or John's runs. Apparently other people did. I don't know about the equipment on their runs, and don't know the equipment was ever verified.
If I set the world record for most free throws in a row, nobody verifies the size of the ball, or the hoop? If I have my own practice court setup for the sole purpose of breaking that record, the lack of verification becomes much more bothersome to me.
At this point I don't care much, John saying he did this to help pool but won't release it to the public unless he makes money, meh.
