I was cleaning out some drawers and found my old autographed copy of John Schmidt's 'Exactly How I Run 100s'. It's from 2008, John's miked up and runs 100+ as he talks through what he's thinking as he does it. Brings back some good memories. I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell if his style has changed much since then, but it contains a lot of good tips. Can't quite remember how I got it but it may have been from an AZB member that was helping John out by selling this for him. If I recall it was around $30.

Yep, things have changed a lot since then.... now, if he'd only finally release the world record 626 run.

Burn a copy for Harriman. Sure he'd treasure it. ;)
 
There are a few older videos out there on running 100 balls- one was done by Dallas West in the late 80s - he describes each shot selection and why- supposedly done on the first take- very possible with Dallas back then. Also, Ray Martin sold a similar video that was taken in the 80s in a New Hampshire pool hall owned by a guy named Al Barron- Ray did a 14.1 exhibition and ran over a 100 balls while narrating each shot and selection reasoning during the exhibition- also live first take 100+ run while talking to a live audience- very impressive! Never saw John's. I once owned both tapes- they came out on the larger video tapes- no hard discs yet back then!
 
Dallas West video was quite amazing. The guy was very methodical, but not overly mechanical.:)
