I looked around and didn't find any previous post of this video, so I'm posting it.

Joshua Filler's record 285 at Derby City

Nice. Thanks for Sharing. Very Impressive
This was the last year of the 14.1 high run challenge at Derby City. 285 was the record. Second that year was 260 by Dennis Orcullo.
I was actually present when Dennis ran his but missed Joshua, Great Memories.
Yes, it was an electrifying day at the DCC 14.1 Challenge. Chris Melling had already run a 244 and the general feeling was that this would hold for the high run prize. It sure didn't pan out that way, as, on the final day of qualifying, Orcullo beat Melling with a 260 and then Filler topped Orcullo with a 285.
Was this the challenge table that mistakingly had 4.25" pockets? Or am I thinking about another year?
Orcullo's 260 was on the 4 1/4. Filler's was on a 4 1/2.
Bob,
I really looked forward to the 14.1 event at the Derby. When the decision was made to end it, I was very disappointed. Do you know if there is a chance for the event to come back someday?

It doesn't really fit in at DCC any more. Actually, DCC doesn't fit in the Horseshoe.
Home for lunch and started watching this. Was going to watch half and then come back later. Great being self employed, Wonderful work out
this young man put together. Superb to say the least. Thanks for this post. Will be watching this many times more. Saw a few moves that raised my eyebrows it did.

Thanks Bob, much appreciated althouh it makes my 38 ball high run
seem pretty dismal
Fake video nobody can run that many balls with a maple shaft these days.
Naw. It's carbon fiber with painted wood pattern. Stealth LD.
I knew it?
Nobody can run hundreds with out a carbon fiber shaft and $30 chalk these days.
Went back and watched this amazing run again. The spot where Filler had gotten himself behind the per-verbal 8 ball and he found the small
window to go into the rail first for the 11. He looked at that shot many times and at one time looking over the shot, he layed his cue down the line where the cue ball was headed. He had it lined up headed at the point of the cushion right above the side pocket. Then he looked at the shot again for awhile before going after it. After making the 11 the cue ball went right to point of that side cushion and came back out about 6 inches or so for the tough cut he made for the 7 ball. That got him well on his way again, but my eye brows were raised indeed when the cue ball came off that side pocket point

Seems more accurate to say that "nobody can make a cue with which Filler can't run 285."
Probably it's the table with pockets that are too large to make you focus. Are they 4.5" like for Filler?
Yes! Must be the problem, if they were 4.25” I’d be off to the races. That and a new cue.
