He could have run over a 1000 but he didnt want to. He stopped when he did so he could get home in time to catch Lawrence Welk.
I don't know. It takes a special kind of lunatic to even make the attempt.I doubt that record will stand nearly as long but time will tell.
But why not? After all, it should be easy...special cloth to make the balls spread out more, heaters under the table... supposed shaved slate...anyone should be able to run several hundred under such conditionsI don't know. It takes a special kind of lunatic to even make the attempt.
Lou in DC?
I hope to buy him a beer and play him one set, loser has to stop posting in this thread.
Loser can post in the thread again ONLY if each post subsequently made in this thread begins with:
_____ beat me at pool.
I think bobby might have an extra cue or two. I can likely dig up 3 or 4 more at my house.Sorry, won't be packing a pool cue this trip.
Besides, if/when we play I'd rather just play you a set of 1pocket for cash : -)

I can't play any damn 1p . I might be open to a 1p ball running challenge though. I gotta shoot at my pocket every couple turns or I might pay you to let me quit.
Well it seems from all the chatter that the "world pro" has put up on this subject that the specifications are known so they should be able to be duplicated.Don't know -- the table is gone.
Lou Figueroa
Wow, some amazingly well known top players you beat there? I bet that field was full of champions from all over the world, beating top pro Bruce Christensen must have felt amazing. I mean Bruce was a top pro right? Congratulations on your Montana state championship. I guess with the "stab John in the back" comments likely played out at this point now we are in the Lou's trip down memory lane portion where you post pics of your local tournament finishes that have nothing to do with the subject.These do.

The table was a Brunswick 8 footer.Mosconi was a player rep for Brunswick and did hundreds of exhibitions on those tables. He toured with Greenleaf and later by himself for many years under the Brunswick contact.
Again...I thought it had been established it was 8 1/2 ?The table was a Brunswick 8 footer.
He probably didn't see many of those while touring.

Sorry that doesn't say state champion on it but it's definitely a nice thing to have.

Just ask him to set one up for you.
Show us how a city champion does it. I looked at your belt buckle and it's neat but unfortunately it's not a state championship.
it was 98. I have no desire to run a hundred or two. My really competitive days are pretty much over and I am involved in promoting pool and developing players in ways that will benefit pool more than any jealousy-filled endeavor you are allowed to be a part of.The table is gone -- we'd just be guessing.
But hey, you're a 100 ball runner, or what -- it was 98, right? Why don't you get a table set up and run 200?
Or 196.
Lou Figueroa
can't believe I said
JB was a 100 ball runner
with a straight face, lol
Sorry but your "stories" have been debunked in the past so whatever embellishments you want to tell us about how "tough" your win was are not really registering.Like I said, there were/are some really strong bar box players up there -- basically all they do all winter is play pool.
So it was like many other state championships, with all the local stars participating. Besides, the reason I brought it up was because you cared enough to repeatedly ask in the first place ;-) The other photos were just to corroborate. I think I also had a 5th and a 7th place finish two other years.
I have stayed on topic this whole thread. You're the one who feels some need to prove that you are relevant by telling us you were a state champion in a small sparsely populated state to somehow justify your knocking of John Schmidt and his world record run of 626.And since when have you ever cared about staying on topic, lmao.

Actually he probably saw a lot of whatever Brunswick was selling. Some rooms had 8 ft tables and others had 9ft and some had oversized 8s. He most likely played on whatever the designated table was when he got there. Willie was on the road for Brunswick doing these exhibitions for a significant portion of the year according to the book The Hustler and the Champ by R.A. Dyer. And he didn't like it.The table was a Brunswick 8 footer.
