It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Yep, I feel he's going off a pre-internet business model. Even accustats have free content on their youtube channel. I guarantee they've got more subscriptions due to their free content than any other advertising they do. It really pays to know the business climate of the decade you're in an a manager or marketing person would have helped him with this. Dude's a monster at pool but it's ok to ask for help from others in an area that's not your specialty. The era of "straight to tape" is over.
Actually the claim, in a letter to the editor of Pool & Billiard Magazine, was that twice during Mosconi's 526 the object ball jumped out of a pocket. The claim was without details in the letter. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. In any case Mosconi's record was recognized by the organization that was recognizing records and I think Willie was fully capable of running that many balls, especially on a 4x8, so I'm happy to recognize his record as well.

Since the weather is now getting cool - you might mant to wrap the skeleton in 'red tape' - but yea lie' I thought - almost two years after the announcement - still no unedited footage available for true 14.1 enthusiasts to view - and support their claim = bad actors. They can say what they will bout Mosconi's 526, the fact remains there is more accountability today vs. in Mosconi's era. All we can do is read their fake news (bca and j.s) and then continue to sweat their 'red tape'. Welcome to the fake news industry folks, they (bca,js,nyt, and predator coups') should have left 14.1 alone. There will be zero distractions pertaining table specs from my end, 626 is an incredible feet - on any table, I'm sorry to report i believe it did not happen. At least this is my double speed take. Be leery of fake news journalists - they do have a political agenda to use the media for their corruption. They just laugh at those seeking the truth and this is a problem for them, I repeat 'With great power comes great accountability'. It's a powerful claim to have surpassed a 70+yr sports history record - and then not provide evidence to the public.

Here is a diagram of shot 627. I imagine that John was thinking that the only way the run would continue was for the 8-3 combo to throw enough to make the 3. It didn't throw.

Anyone still excited about seeing the video?
Good grief. Tough shot for sure.
more lieagrams' to confuse the 'general public'? I think the key phrase here bob - is that u imagine. Now back to reality - anyone looking to acquire a copy of this 626 - unedited - don't hold your breath. It's been two years since they announced it, thousands are asking for proof and jewett has some graphs to show us - not exactly unedited footage that many have asked for and even offered to pay for their own copy. Do not believe the bca's lies of corruption.

Based on that diagram it looks like one should be looking to cut it enough not throw it enough.
For example by playing the three-ball combo (12-8-3), which would be a cut in the right direction. If two balls are the right distance apart (3/8 inch) the cut will almost exactly cancel the throw for up to about a half-ball hit. I'm not sure exactly how far apart the two balls were, but they were not touching. Since the
3 went pretty much straight ahead, the combo would have been iffy as well. Maybe at high speed where there is less throw.
Well, on a shot like that, it's pretty much either dead or impossible. A tough shot would have been to play the six with left draw and Z across the table for almost straight on the 3 ball (assuming it fit) and then maybe take one of the other balls into a head pocket.
No and it is likely fake (in my opinion) so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Everything thing about the run points to it being other than legitimate.
