The burgers was from Wendy’s. Lol
Jayson Shaw live High Run Attempts
- Thread starter wrldpro
- Start date
ok...lol... I know how this is going to sound after the guy ran off 832, but does anyone else think the combo was ill advised...?
I understand the idea in opening up the 6/2 cluster but was it really necessary at that point..? Hard to argue given Shaw's firepower I know.
FWIW, I've struggled with reaching 40 lately
I look forward to a thorough statistical analysis. I watched a bit in the early going and was amazed at how quickly he could dispense with a rack.
His endurance is amazing.
Congratulations on a new World Record.

He was probably in a flow, until he wasnt!
That combo looked like it needed some more aiming, but maybe not to him..
i was thinking to break up the cluster later, with the 8 alone (5, 14, 4, 8) may not have good enough insurance. pretty bog standard combo though. i've checked it in 0.25x speed and can't determine skid or not. i think he was just too focused on the cluster. be interesting to hear his own thoughts.
He knows he should have shot the 5B. He was most likely thinking about it when he pulled the trigger on the combo.

Is the full run posted somewhere?
Video is on YouTube
It’s a clean run.
I accidentally stumbled on it at 2 racks. I heard it was going on, so when I found it I was gonna watch for sure.
After the first 10 I felt this vibe that it was going to be a good run. Jayson was dabbing them very very good and it’s hard to describe with words, but it seemed like something good was happening.
At about 22-25 racks he was still going along very good and he hadn’t really lost shape or had a funny break. There was one that he almost got stuck in the side of the rack on the break but he didn’t. Was a nice roll, but over than many racks you have to catch a few rolls.
He got tough once and cross banked the 13 and the pocket helped him, those pockets look like standard old school GC pockets to me. They aren’t gaffed,
I knew by 30-35 racks something special was happening. He looked great.
He took a few risks and chances here and there, just being himself-not trying to cinch balls etc.
It was a clean run, not 453 jelly rolls. The miss looked like a bit of a lapse of concentration. And Jayson mentioned the tension.
Bobby was there racking and was all biz, couldn’t have a better rack man for that. Stone cold pro!
🫡. Racks all looked good, there’s zero bullshit going on here.It’s a pretty big statement, but it’s possible Jayson can have a huge run again today. The nervous tension should be settled now. He can run 1000, he’s capable, a couple good rolls he’ll get there. And if he doesn’t well played.
I hope all the knockers go blind looking at this video for problems. As there aren’t any. I was lucky as could be to watch it happen.
Fatboy Approved
Agreed, I didn’t think the combo was anywhere near as easy as the cut on the 3 or 5 or the shot in the side pocket. At that point, it was more likely mental/physical exhaustion that led to that unforced error. I’m not sure how he can mentally recover from that and start over, after running nearly 60 racks!

It is no longer on youtube.Video is on YouTube
@wrldpro - will you be putting it back up on youtube?
There's the essence of what can happen on hyper-long 14.1 runs -- a milli-seconds-long split of concentration on a previous move and the necessary subconscious flow for the present one.
His physical and mental endurance is world-class, but as with some other precision-dependent sports or game like chess any champion is subject to that devastating momentary lapse in the flow of instincts and body of time-tested, ingrained information.

Keep an eye on The Legends of Pocket Billiards youtube channel, maybe they will put it back up.
Either that or they are going to sell DVDs or whatnot again, sigh.
It’s off now for the recount.
I spoke to Bobby, he’s busy as hell today.
They need to save the stream, it was a few minutes short of 12 hours.
That’s the latest word from Bobby

They at least need to edit out the several hours it was left running this morning, after the shooting had concluded, lol.

So how long did it take start to finish? Anybody know?
I didn't watch the whole run, so I don't know. But from my first post here to the ending missed shot was 328 balls in about 82 minutes, or 4.0 balls per minute. That includes racking and a brief timeout. If that was the pace for the entire run, it would have been about 3½ hours. But it is quite possible that the first part of the run was at a faster pace than the last part.
For sure.
They opened it up and ran it to the limit. Which is a good idea as it’s never known when a good run will happen.
I’m confident that what ever happens it will be done with good reason and in the best interest of pool.
I watched it live, I knew by about 15 racks Jayson was in top form and barring any funny rolls he was gonna put up a big number.
As chance would have it, I was lucky to watch it all and it was in the top 3 if not the greatest accomplishments I’ve ever seen in pool. I need to think about that statement. Was amazing wow!
I’m fired up still thinking about it!!!
It was soooo clean too. To get a break ball and a good break that many times in a row is just amazing. Sure he had some tricky spots, not many as he just played so good.
Best

Fired in a bunch of combos too
