John Schmidt runs 820

[jalapus logan]

No. This was on John's table in Wyoming. His 626 was on a Rebco table in Monterey. Jayson's runs were on a GC1(?) in Maryland. I believe John has a GC4, but the video should be out soon.

It would be interesting to see what a top player's high run would be on a standard 9 foot diamond pro table like they play on at the DCC (not the 4 1/8" rotation table, the normal pro table). I recall you putting on those really cool 14.1 challenges, that was awesome! But I'm talking a similar dedicated & sustained effort to what produced Jayson and John's high runs. I'd be real curious to know what they could achieve on those Diamonds.

Yes he does, John plays all games well, last time he came through town we played Banks and he edged me out. Looking forward to his return here soon to avenge that loss.

Hmmm...you must be a strong player then and not your usual AZB'er. Freezer????

I don't think that pool players "retire". They just stop playing.

Allow me to correct you there, they stop competing. I don't think anyone who has ever caught the pool bug has stopped "playing" for any real length of time so long as they are physically able.

Fair enough, I will stand corrected

It's not harder for the top pros, they just don't want to dedicate that much time for something meaningless.

If someone with a lot of money paid Joshua Filler to dedicate a few months on straight pool, I can see him easily beating the highest run.

There is no incentive for a top pro to attempt this, besides love for straight pool.

It didn't elevate Jason's career and it won't do anything for Schmidt.

big reward has been on the table for years for this

after jayson hit 714 they all kinda stopped trying

There has been no big reward for years, what are your talking about? There might have been a 10k reward at various times, hardly enough to entice pros.

Schmidt had some sort of private reward from Predator. Shaw also had some sort of private reward from Bobby.

But as far as a public "big reward has been on the table for years", that's a load of bs.

From my recollection, the high run in all the years at the DCC challenge was about 280. And, it just so happened to be on a 4 1/8" pocket table that got snuck into the challenge that particular year. I forget who it was, I want to say Filler but can't be sure. Bob would know for sure.

All time on a 4.5" diamond, I believe Danny Harriman has a video in the low 300's on one, from about 10 years ago.

hmmmm, think it was on a GC2.

To me, what was especially impressive was that he pretty much did it shooting at five pockets because the right corner pocket up table was grafted, up so he played patterns to avoid shooting at it.

He plays pretty top end 1P. I’ve played John and watched him, too bad he didn’t concentrate on 1P. He could have been mentioned as one of the greats in 1P.

i dont think its too late.

Bobby chamberlain has offered his challenge or did you forget

Keep to crying about diamond tables
Helps the sales apparently

all those high runs are incredible for sure and not to take anything away from any of them.

but if they are made on different playing conditions they are not comparable to each other. and only stand for what they are ,, great events.

it would nice to have a real standard for record breaking events, balls, table, pockets, etc.

and for the future standard sized pockets and shelves or at least close to what we currently play on. even those are not completely standard.

the bigger pockets used to break mosconi's record are understandable as he had them. but he was on an 8 or 8.5 foot table.
so his run as others are just a number not completely comparable.

and most sports world records are in sanctioned events. not setup.

unfortunately, straight pool tournaments or events are not conducive for it to happen.

Back around 2014 John Schmidt's two highest runs in straight pool on a 9 foot table were 403 and 400, and his highest run on a 9 foot diamond table was 294 (don't recall what the pocket sizes were for sure though). As I recall he said at the time that he felt his 294 on the diamond was the bigger accomplishment than his 403/400 and was more proud of it.

I don't know how much time John has put in trying to do high runs on a diamond verses other tables, nor do I know if he has beaten his 294 on a diamond since then.

"...I saw the video...I can confirm the run is authentic...A limited run of DVD copies will be available for sale for $5k each..."

put me in for 5 copies. seems like a fair price.

if i get them from wyoming i might get to pay an extra maybe 1500 in sales tax then.
