Isn't this thread a moot point? What major 8 ball tournies are on Valley 7ft tables?
Did you read the OP? The Valley bar box is probably one of the worlds most common tables. It's been the industry standard for bar tables for decades, and is found in every hole in the wall bar as well as more upscale places around the world, except the Commonwealth, where the UK bar tables rule.
It's an easy table to pocket balls on. The rails are usually not too springy, and it is cloth is usually fairly slow. The conditions are there to make big runs possible (when they are not too run down) and they are found everywhere.
I don't care what some you think may or may not be possible. I wanted to know about the things that took place, not what some guy thinks is possible or not. So called- and real "experts" get proven wrong all the time, quite recently on this very forum. They never have to apologize or be held accountable in any way, they simply change their explanations without ever admitting to being wrong. How many pool room "experts" have been proven wrong over the years, I wonder? I guy once told me I would never run 100 balls and should quit pool. While he was probably right about the last thing:grin:, I sure proved him wrong about the 100 balls part. Don't take the words of naysayers such as that guy too seriously. They are usually bitter, nobodies that project their own failures onto others. I say f'em all!
I especially do not care what the main tourneys are played on. They are usually races to 7,8, 9 or sometimes 11...Such a format is not ideal for the big runs, is it? I bet that there are people nobody's ever heard of, in small towns around the world that has run a dozen racks on these tables, as well as pros gambling against local people etc. That was what I wanted to hear about. Thank you to all that contributed such stories. Even if some should turn out to be false, at least by hearing about them we get to check them out.
