Jayson Shaw in the Hunt for Another 14.1 Record
- Thread starter lfigueroa
- Start date
Nice and loose like any table should be for 14.1
Whatever they are, they are debatable
(as usual)(I think an old forum software provided a smilie of a horse, dead and being well beaten
)
Don’t know exactly.
But I have seen a photo and all I can say is that two balls fit into the corner pockets. I’d say they are comparable to the pockets Jayson set his previous run on.
If Bobby wants to release exact specs that’s up to him.

This will come in handy often on any forum, especially when you know how to use Picfont.com free editing to fill in the recipient's details when awarding. We've all heard of TV's "Emmy" and the music industry's "Grammy". This award can become AZB's special-category one called the "Arnie" in honor of the old fool who hereby contributes it for use on appropriate occasions:Whatever they are, they are debatable

Six of them.
I think the numerous high-runs at the national tournament in Virginia Beach (Diamonds/tight pockets/triangle rack) a few yrs. ago proved otherwise. Make the pockets big enough, and likely many could run 1000 with a template rack.
Hi how were they? Any records of the runs to see how many they were and is there documentation on the pocket size used ? Super clean conditions help big runs just as much, just Nick the rack and a few will pop out
He said after he finished his back was killing him
I differ. IMO 90% of the superb world-class players who posted noteworthy high-runs there would not even come close to Jayson's current and likely future mega-runs.
The capacity to sustain the relentless requisite passion, sheer determination, endurance, and instant subconscious navigational instincts he exhibited in his 714 is so rare in my spectating experience that there are few players I'd reasonably predict for equaling and surpassing what Jayson is capable of no matter the size of monetary and prestige expectations of the players who'd ever be contending in the quest here or elsewhere internationally. I would however love to be surprised by, and be watching someone -- from somewhere -- coming very close.

Here we go already. The run isn't legit because it wasn't done on a Diamond table set up for 9 ball?

Any of these pool records are just exhibition records, nothing more.
Pool has no standard professional table spec.
Its not like Snooker, which does, and therefore professional records are well established.
One day, who knows.
Matchroom is playing around trying to standardize pocket sizes at their events.
But, they are not the WPA.
Same with Predator et al.
It's not like the WPA has had decades to establish a professional standard... Oh wait, they have...
So, it will take fresh blood on that board to address it and get it done.
It will be easier for every single table manufacturer after that and organisor who wants to run a professional event to do so.
The wide range of tolerances on current WPA specs are guidelines, not a spec for professionals.
Still, they do for exhibitions and these types of attempts... So, at least follow those and don't go too hard on the sloppiness of tables...
It would be great to put this to bed.
Exhibition records.
Vs.
Professional records.
Don't see it happening in the current climate.
Still, wish Jayson all the best in this latest exhibition attempt.
Running that many balls in a row, even on sloppy tables is a huge feat of skill, endurance and concentration of the mind.

Whats sloppy? Have you seen the table he us playing on? Gold criwns and Diamonds are not the same. We all know this.

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.
