Jayson Shaw in the Hunt for Another 14.1 Record

The guidelines seem pretty clear to me:
The pocket openings for pool tables are measured between opposing cushion noses where the direction changes into the pocket (from pointed lip to pointed lip). This is called mouth.

Corner Pocket Mouth: between 4.5 [11.43 cm] and 4.625 inches [11.75 cm]
Side Pocket Mouth: between 5 [12.7 cm] and 5.125 inches [13.0175 cm]

Granted that is a recommendation but I don't think 1/8" is to broad of a range.
Check out the templates and tolerances for professional Snooker and get back to me.
 
I look at that issue from a different (admittedly totally subjective) perspective:

-- "Godfather II" didn't devalue the excellence and worth of "Godfather I". Both films quite deservedly won multiple awards, huge audiences and jillions of network-evergreen ($$$$$$) TV replays for decades.

-- Historic world championship boxing matches performed by the same fighter and captured on film don't devalue each other at all (for me).

These superficially seem like apples-to-oranges comparisons (great films to 14.1 mega-runs, to great boxers), but the historic, great achievements cited are all entertaining, instructive, suspenseful, memorable, and re-watchable as they unfold for us -- if (and only if) -- you're a fan of any of these.

And so it is with aficionado watchers of ultra-talented players establishing and breaking 14.1 mega-run records. The navigation of every new rack is a series of new situations requiring solutions that are optimal and mysteriously instinctive to Jayson. Optimal enough to make the process look ridiculously easy and so enviably admirable.

Just high high rack the balls…..problem solved J/K 😂😂

Who’s looking? 👀
Or just never show the public an unedited 626 video for video experts to scrutinize and compare to Jaysons legit run. Or rack tilted, no outline or table spot and heaters under the slate and a crooked BCA board member that signed off on the run without any real proof. Fatboy whats the line on Jaysons attempts?

I can’t put a number on how many attempts. Because he mite have lots of 100-200’s that eat up lots of time but aren’t notable. Imagine running 200 and not remembering it??

I think the real question is what’s the line on will he or won’t he 714?

I’m guessing he’s likely to get close, he wants it. That’s clear. I haven’t spoke to him since he ran it-idk how pissed he is about the haircut they gave his effort. Which might be a factor-it might not.

I think the line is he’s a +300 dog to 714 again.

This ain’t a knock, I’d love to see him run 715. I 🙏🏼 He runs 1000. I’m pulling for him. But 714 is a big number and I don’t think anyone is a favorite to accomplish that in a few days again-even Jayson.

That’s a gambling line, not a “how I feel line”. I really like Jayson as a person and of course respect his game. So I don’t like making him a dog. But man that’s a tall order.

Now give him 30 days and he’s a huge favorite to beat that-assuming the table is as before(I’m not going to argue with anyone about the pocket profile-it is what it is).

The narrow window of time is why he’s a dog. I’ve played enough pool to know, I never beat personal bests on demand in 3-4 days. But again I’m not Jayson or anything close…….

I really hope he crushes it💪💪

Well said and I agree. I didnt take any shortcuts or so called rig the table like some of these haters and mega nuthuggers want to accuse me of. Its all standard eccept for 760 Simonis. 1 thing for sure is its not snowing a foot of snow like it was in January and he really wants to do some damage. No matter what happens i hope everyone enjoys watching and its get more people to play 14.1.

Cloth is cloth, tables are tables, pockets are pockets.


If it’s so easy how come everyone isn’t running 1000 balls?

The rest speaks for itself

All due respect,
Fatboy <———can’t run 100 on any table period, ever and I’ve played 40 years.

Well good luck on his attempt, but remember not too long ago when John Schmidt tried to beat his record up in Canada someplace, I don’t think he came close. Lightning rarely strikes in the same place, but who knows good luck to him.

This sounds about right. On easy equipment, 715 balls or more is about +300 and I'd say 1,000 balls or more is about +1400, but Jayson might just have it in him.

Again……we agree. It’s amazing Stu. We see so many things alike.

Let me ask you, if he had a month. Clearly he would need a day off here and there. But a month. Think he beats 714? I do, I think he’s a big favorite

Given a month, I think he'd be a slight favorite to top 714.
 
Why even watch it? If and when he is gonna hit serious numbers you just not gonna show it properly anyways.
Maybe it would be more considerate of you to ask questions about how it will be aired/filmed and if it will be done differently than before.
 
i would rather see a guy with a day job gambling in one pocket, nine ball ... ect without a backer ... heart and courage .... i dont even know why people pay for the 14.1 world record video (doesnt people have other things to do?) .... i mean that is what he does ... plays pool all day long every day ...
Then go to any number of streams and watch those, and stop knocking SHAW’S attempt.
