Congrats Jayson! Anyone got a link? I just keep seeing a video posted that stat don't seem to get over 407.
JAYSON SHAW BREAKS 626!

What Jason Shaw accomplished was fantastic, however my pool heart still believes Mosconi‘s run was more remarkable. Mosconi walked into a room and set up trick shots and possibly shot balls for a few minutes, On an unfamiliar table and then proceeded to run 526 balls! (on one try). And stopped because he was tired.
He wasn’t trying to set a record. I can’t imagine how many balls he could of run on a familiar table with no distractions.
Congratulations to Jason Shaw, I’m sure there is a few guys out there thinking about breaking this record.

Well, actually he missed -- I believe it was a cut on a six ball that bobbled.
But I pretty much agree with how impressive Mosconi's one off was as well as Jayson's run.

but his job was doing that, travelling to different places and playing on brunswick tables. that kind of gig doesn't exist today, pool interest isn't big enough for straight pool exhibitions. so it's not replicable and probably never will be. the closest we can come is just this - online streams.
He went out with a bang on May 25, 1935 hitting not only #714 but #712 and #713, driving in six runs for the Boston Braves.
Not to mention the equally meaning connection with Officer Friday -- we've got the (indisputable) facts Mam/Man!!!

And we might say that there is a new Sheriff in town.
No one will... My league team is full of pool groupies and we share a group chat. I'm the only one that really cares, and there's one other that's more happy that John S. no longer holds the record more than anything else. Rest... crickets...
What it might do is light a little fire under the asses of a few other pros that like having bragging rights. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more pros hosting their own live streams taking shots at Shaw's record.
"Hey Joshua, you ever going to take a stab at John Schmidt's 14.1 record...?"
..."Who's John Schmidt...?"
"Hey Joshua, did you hear Jayson Shaw just beat the 14.1 record...?"
..."What's the number..? ...and hold my beer for a sec"
I didn’t run 300 on Saturday either.
Maybe this record is big enough to get some top snooker players to make an attempt. I'd like to see Ronnie or Judd Trump try this.
he will be a force to reckon with. mosconi cup MVP, turning stone winner, world straight pool record holder within a little more than a month. the sky is the limit..
Really? For sure I thought you ran 300 on Saturday. You might have your days confused.No kidding?, believe it or not,
Me either
Now he has to go to the Derby and win that.

there's a fantastic television documentary made for casual audiences about ronnie coming to america and trying to "hustle." he plays straight pool against jeanette lee, if i'm not mistaken, and gets his ass handed to him. i'm only telling you this so you can go watch it, not because i don't think ronnie could crush 14 and 1. i'm sure he would put up amazing numbers if he decided to give it a go.
He also made a ball when he scratched
Any idea what that doc was called? I'll see if I can find it online somewhere.
