I was watching his run in slow-mo to see how he uses spin on break shots. I sadly noticed a foul on ball 119. He was bridging over the 15 while shooting the 7. Just prior to the shot he gently nudges the 15 with his ring finger, then pulls that finger back into his bridge before pocketing the 7. It is at the 27:39 mark. It looks very intentional. In WPA this would be a foul. I understand it is just an exhibition. So, I might be okay with it if he put the ball back before shooting if it was accidental. I think this run really ended at 118. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Intentional to get a little better shape or make the shot easier? I have not watched beyond this point in the video. It's an incredible run either way. But I think he cheated.

He has another foul later on that has been discussed in the main forum. According to reports, John doesn't plan to submit the run for any kind of record recognition.
To be recognized as a record by the BCA, it must be done without any fouls.
