Are the corners going to be 5 1/2"? If so, do you consider that "Legit" for record attempts?I say yer incorrect, while I may not care for whirld pro's attitiude I am familiar with sum' of the prize $ logistics. Kinda some irony for j.s. - in that it's his own possible fake news scandal - that has actually inspired a Legit - 14.1 challenge - mhmm! Top talent will surface under chamberlain's 14.1 challenge, their will be unedited footage for sale - to both 'Open Public' and semi public' - when a top shelf player truly surpasses 5 centuries +. Any of yer doubts - are probly the future of 14.1 - maybe that is why yer a usedto bee - eh sunshine.

Plus the only reason made it look difficult - is he did not show any shred of real evidence - that he has in fact run 626. Possible attempted theft of Mosconi's true 526 is all I saw from the bca/j.s. teem'. But yea I guess there is sum return for the 'bca/csi/j.s./ pred cue cabal'.

Hello fellow 14.1 enthusiasts, I just thought I would share with someone that last night I ran a 156. A few weeks ago I ran a 200 and caught it on tape however it was ugly as I had many difficult shots. Last night's run was smooth, the equip. I'm playing on is an early 1900's Brunswick ball return table, it has a few squirly' spots in the slate due to the age factor but besides that the table is in fine shape. The cushions are K66 and the cloth is not brand new, I might add also that this table is in a basement which makes it more difficult to disperse the rack due to humidity. Someone on this forum is allway's referring to that perfect 14.1 run (Steve Lipsky) well I realize that it is nothing like John Shmidt's 246, I have ran over 200 many times but never before did it look as easy as this particular run. I have watched John's recording of his run and he makes it look easy, what a great champion he is. I thought maybe I will make a commentary of my little 156 if anyone would be interested pM me back and I might get a hacker to show me how to display it here on the computer.
Your's truly, Danny Harriman (Bob Jewett's 14.1 challenge Champ)

I believe you are not correct.
First off, I would characterize the prize monies involved as “substantial” and more than sufficient to motivate the best players out there.
Second, keep in mind that Mosconi and Cranfield frequently put up huge numbers and while 600+ is quite a goal, it’s doable. And while it may have taken JS months and months, I think it is very possible —given all that is coming together in terms of money, equipment, conditions, and players — his record will fall in relatively short order.
That’s just my opinion... I guess we’ll all find out.

So someone is going to put up "substantial" prize money, and have a venue for 10 or so pros who can realistically do this, and have multiple cameras on each table, and do this long enough (4 weeks?) for one of the 10 pros to break "one of the records". I'd say that's a 500,000USD expenditure. Someone is going to put up that cash just to shut up JS? I don't buy it.
A lot can happen / change in 14 years!
And where is the return? The only way someone would do this is if they were a multi-millionaire and loved straight pool, and did it as a charity. It would never make any money.
Holly molly! What happened to you?
Bingo. You are correct on all of this. Now if you and all others could just continue to post like this instead of posting anything negative then more people would love to see a very successful event. Of course some people just can't be positive and have to try to find negative or create doubt or drama when a good thing is happening. These are the same people that watch a free live stream just to post negative comments in the chat room. Those people will be remembered and be barred not only from making comments but also from even watching the stream. Continue on please.
Sure thing pal. Just let me know when you need it. I'll just add it into the rest of the free money.lolCan I hold a hundred?
Oh the irony...

You are really funny.
This is way off topic, but I got to see you play once, ages ago, at the Billiard Center, in Cape Girardeau.
You played this guy on the front table, where you had to switch playing hands every other shot, and you were getting out playing like that.
I thought that was really cool, and you seemed like a really cool, friendly, and down to earth type of person, which is very different then the nasty way that you are acting toward me, in your replies.
And about the high run, I do not think that John Schmidt, among other reputable people that I read, who have seen the video, would lie about the run, and it is his business who he wants to show it to, and how he wants to go about doing it.
And if it turns out that he, and others are lying, they they should know that it will eventually come out, and it would only make them look really bad in the world of Pool.
Therefore, I think that it is very unlikely that the high run is not legit.
I do not know John Schmidt, but he seems like a really cool, down to earth, and honest person.
For whatever reason, I guess there is a good reason as to why the video is not available to the public yet.
I am hoping to get John to AZ to show it and also to watch it for myself. Plenty of credible people have seen it.
John Schmidt said this on FB a few hours ago and it makes sense.
"I don't understand why people think I didn't really do it.heck I ran 320, 395, 382,464 on live stream in bullshooters.im not the greatest player but I thought it's common knowledge that if the stars align and I get real lucky it is possible I run 626."

Keep me posted if that happens. I'll donate.
Me too!!
I don't think there are many...if any at all...who think he didn't do it. There are just a few who really really really really wish he hadn't.

I disagree.
I think some just wonder why, two years removed, unedited video of the run hasn’t been released. Ostensibly it was to monetize the recording and that’s totally reasonable. But still, two years later no video has been released and there have only been limited showings of an edited tape, a portion of which is always shown at 2x. So there hasn’t been much in the way of monetization.
Lastly, I believe most reasonable people believe records are made to be broken. Mosconi’s record has stood for a long time and I think given the right conditions and incentive it can be surpassed *and documented with a verifiable recording* by today’s high caliber ball strikers.

Being puzzled about why people do what they do is understandable. I don't see how it leads to the accusations some are dreaming up.
