I'll try to update the list this weekend, guys...
List of Living 200+ Runners
- Thread starter Steve Lipsky
- Start date
Steve im glad i inspired you to create this thread and by the way great playing at the world 14.1 this year.Now how about starting a 300+ list.i dont think it will be that hard to make.
I think this list is the most telling....because most players that have run over 100, match over, lets play another game.
True, the fact that a lot of people don't even continue their 100 ball runs once the match is over is telling enough. The list of 100+ runners would be immense, there's no way all the 100+ runner's could even be tracked down. I've know 2 people who would be on such a list that aren't even that good at all, you wouldn't even believe they'd run 100 if you didn't actually see it.

Todd Fleitman - 323
Steve,
George Rood passed away last year (October 2010) and was 95, almost 96, I believe. I believe Todd, owner of Airway Billiards would have info on whether George ran 200+. I would not doubt he did, he was one of the greats, and stayed below the radar for the most part through his career.
It was amazing learning things from George, and listening to his stories.

Interesting list so thanks for the post.
For me, Wu "the Little Genius" from Taiwan comes to mind.
He's so young however perhaps he's hit 200 +?
Also, I strongly suspect some of the top women have hit this mark.
Allison Fisher, Jasmin Ouschan come to my mind first for straight pool.
Perhaps Karen Corr too.

You should add Bill Hendricks to your list. He was intercollegiate 14.1 champion in the 1960's and a 200 ball runner from St Louis. I no longer live there and the last time I checked at Cue and Cushion they told me Bill doesn't go to the pool hall much because he quit driving, but as far as I know he is still living.
If you don't know who Bill is, Louie Roberts introduces him at 7:28 of this video. http://vimeo.com/28806145

List updated. Can't include Dick Letorneau because I can't tell if the story is recent enough that he's probably still around... Doitforthegame, please clarify.

Dear Steve !
Normaly I am only at AZ to look at cues in the gallerys and the wanted for sale forums, but this thread is awesome - great job.
As I am from Vienna (Austria) I will try to help you verify some of the Austrian high runs over 200.
And yes, I will only tell you the ones that where really seen by trustable people and players. :thumbup:
The ones that I know for sure are:
Maximilian Lechner
Jürgen Jenisy
Werner Duregger
Alexander Wanner
I have to ask some more, ecspecialy Albin and Jasmin and some others I know quiet well.
And I will tell you the exact numbers, too.
Best regards,
Eric"h"

Ok, I have some :grin:
Was calling around for an hour and here are the secured high runs from Austrian Top Players for now.
Maximilian Lechner - 296
Jürgen Jenisy - 210
Aslan Cetin - 215
Werner Duregger - 349
Alexander Wanner - 320
Some more are between 150 and 200, and some others I have to call in the next few days.
Eric"h" ----- Sandor Tot (Serbia) has 276

Werner Duregger's high run is 326, as far as I remember (I must have been a teen back then). I'll ask Dimi (Dimitri Jungo) about his next time I see him. Ronald Regli may belong on this list, too, as well as Rolf Hollenstein - again, I'll ask if I run into them. Martin Kempter doesn't appear to be playing anymore, but may still be able to find out (pretty sure his high run is over 200). The correct spelling of Vegar's last name is Kristiansen, by the way. Since I'm at it, check out the spelling of Thorsten's first name. Also, Grady (RIP) spelt his last name with one "t", not two. Wondering: are we really going to take him off this list now…
Greetings from Switzerland, David.
