Could you imagine the amount of poopies that would result of Danny laid down a 700+?
Yeah and a bunch of them would be solid gold bricks.

As much as he claims to know about super secret undetectable video editing, slate shaving and ball polishing...why would we believe it happened?Could you imagine the amount of poopies that would result of Danny laid down a 700+?

Well I really didn’t think I gave a shit if John did or didn’t run 626 but I guess the fact that I just wasted an untold amount of my short ass life reading this thread probably proves me wrong. I did learn a few things though 1. Lou is still as big or bigger a sarcastic asshole as I am (and as or more entertaining). 2. I still can’t stand PJ. (It’s ok though I’m sure he feels the same—he can’t stand himself either). 3. Danny needs to get back on his meds including the chemical castration stuff.

I'm definitely funnier.

Still pretty quick too. Especially for an old curmudgeon. Hope you’re well old man.

Pretty sure you’re not paying attention, but John is having showings of the record breaking run, even picking up some cash along the way. He probably gets a lot of enjoyment from the events, any profit is icing on the cake.JS communicated that if he couldn’t monetize the video, that he would just keep it for himself, and never allow it to be shown. He has evidently made his choice.
He certainly is not going to monetize verbalizing the event.
ENJOY YOUR VIDEO JS.

That was fast, you must have a search alert for "flunky".AND, where does he get that bonus privilege? Certainly, not here on this forum, since he chooses no participation. Maybe, does yours truly, report directly to js? No, I thought not, since he can only feed his drivel to a few.

Why would he come here? He's enjoying his 15 minutes and doesn't need to bother with some guy carrying a decade old chip on his shoulder over an alleged chalk cube incident....sorry, AND his chunky flunky..didn’t mean to leave you out

I'm not going to shed any tears over it, certainly. It would be nice to have the pro's mingle amongst us, and to be able to interact with us. But I completely understand why they won't, as the forum is all Wild Wild West, with comments, attacks and juvenile comments going mostly unchecked here. Why would they want to expose themselves to that crap?AND, I can’t remember anyone shedding a tear or pulling their hair out over their leaving. No matter the reason, it is/was their choice.
BUT, there remains, here, most of their reasons for having left.
Some of those folks have been here and exchanged information and chatted and such. The trolling nature of forums like this simply become a hassle. Yes, they could ignore the trolls, but it becomes a whole thing "so and so said this" and there is no upside in getting drawn into that. Plus, many of those folks likely aren't internet savvy, so its not a comfortable experience. Just my .02...they can control what someone puts on their Facebook posts, if it gets out of hand.They are too busy chasing that almighty $$$ that is unavailable to them here.
Instead of freely exchanging information, they value their experience too highly and need to charge summarily for it as they had to pay for it in a much more entitled manner. Play someone better than you to get better, has been preached forever.
Honestly, I think a lot of the problem with pro's getting chased out of AZ has to do with physics. Pool players play pool. They don't study and understand math and physics, generally speaking. They come here and make statements that might be helpful in a practical sense but when they start getting into why this or that happens they swerve into areas they aren't educated in. In other words, they might recommend something helpful for the wrong reasons. They found that maybe something like TOI or using TOO is a good thing to do based on their vast experience on the table, but they get mired in the semantics of why it works. Of course, sometimes pro players are wrong, too, just like the rest of us. It is a two way street.They are too busy chasing that almighty $$$ that is unavailable to them here.

I like having pros around as much as the next guy. But what I have observed over the years is that most often the pro does not know how he does what he does anymore than prodigies or naturals at any other sport. And so, you end with guys trying to describe and explain how to play pool and often (usually) those explanation don’t resonate or are based in faulty logic, or can even be proven to be flat out wrong.
The occasional pro that wanders in here should keep things in perspective: being a professional pool player just means you can poke balls into holes on a cloth covered table better than most. It does not mean you are the brightest bulb on the tree and right about everything. And, they should respect the fact that there are people who might not play pool as well as they do but are smarter, more insightful, can argue more artfully, write better, and have accomplished far more in life than poking those balls around.

I agree, it's the knowledge the person has. Some pro's can't put it into works or show it visually to make sense. Some can.I had an interesting experience getting a lesson from a pro player, then shortly after getting a lesson from an instructor. The instructor was a far less capable player, but he saw a lot more detail in what I was doing both correctly and incorrectly, and gave a lot more useful information.

But, going back to what Lou says, I'm guessing he has not hung around with Nick Varner too much. He knew what he was doing at the table, and why things happened the way they happened. If there was ever a student of the game that is a also a pro player, its Nick. I would think there are not many folks on the planet who has more knowledge of ALL pool games than Nick.
I’ve heard about this supposed 768 ball run by Crainfiled, does (or did) he personally attest to this or was this something by some other party?The truth is that Babe Cranfield ran over 700 balls in the 1970s
Caps cue club Syracuse NY. No cell phones or other devices to record this run, only my personal memories of racking for him all day long.
So my answer is it doesn’t matter!
