List of Living 200+ Runners
- Thread starter Steve Lipsky
- Start date
ehh yea Carter is my pick for the little list
Jeff could play, and I know as I practiced with him in Madison, Wisconson on many a cold evening. So if u get the message Steve I would vote for Jeff being added to your infamous list, I think he studied the game with Sailor and Jerry Breisath also.

Larry Hubbart, a mentor to and road partner of Mike Sigel, seems very likely to have run 200 or more, and even 300 wouldn't shock me. Playing 14.1, Larry used to give Sigel a spot until Mike was a late teen. The thing is, Larry retired from competition early to start the APA, so he may not have put in the hours to accomplish a really high run. Best source to check on this would surely be Mike Sigel himself.
I will echo Danny Harriman's comments about Jeff Carter. I played some 14.1 with Jeff during the mid-1990's and he played 14.1 about Tony Robles speed. Most likely that Jeff ran 200 at some point.

I don't know if this has been addressed later in the thread or not, but Mike claims he NEVER practices.
Bob Maidhof's high run was 316, i was lucky enough to be working the counter at the time.

I used to hang out with George during my lunch hour (when I worked at Duggal around the corner). He would run 100 once or twice a day for years. I saw him run a couple 200 runs as well. These were generous pockets (5.25" I believe).
I wanted to mention that George had a high run of over 400. His 336 happened at Chelsea Billiards, a few years before he passed away.

George passed away some years ago. Story was he fell down some stairs at home.

Pittsburgh Jack White the trickshot showman has run over 330 balls.
Thanks I knew George but did not know how he died. He was quite a player and always kind and friendly.
200 plus balls
Their is a gentleman from the Cleveland area who used to host the World Straight Pool Championships in the late 80's named Frank Zummo who has run over 200 on several occassions. I am sure that either Alan Hopkins or Pat Flemming could vouche. He is still alive and runs over 100 on a regular basis.

Russian straight pool record has been updated recently. New record holder is Ruslan Chinakhov with a run of 203. And it was performed on house equipment: pretty inaccurate pockets, dirty balls... Tough conditions and a great run. Please put Ruslan on the list.
