Sorry, I've played with many hall of famers and my scepticism remains.
I will agree that Eddie Taylor may have been the best banker of all time though.

Homan was in dead stroke for those ipt tourneys and i think the only guy to win one outside efren
28 is not believable though, more likely so if he was counting racks where nothing dropped on the break

I don't know if he ran 28 or not. But with what I have seen from much lesser ability players, I have no reason to doubt that number at all.
Right.....I want to say Chris miller who runs white diamonds has ran like 16 on a BB.
I seen an undercover player lost to the 10 ball ghost at the palace on table 1 in Tulsa... get pissed and switched to playing 14.1 and ran 246 on 4 1/8" pockets
Personally I've ran 8 racks of 8 on a bar box....the big table game is much more open and I don't contest thorstens number by no means.
Twice as easy and only 3x and change more games...... lol gin I say

Sorry, but I'd bet $1,000 all day that ANY player couldn't break and make a shot on the 1 ball 28 times in a row (playing 9 ball). Forget about running the rest. So long a s it's a standard table, BB or 9'. I'll even let you try as many times as you like for 4 hours.
[shrugs] Easy money.

I could say the same thing about running 526 doesn’t make it any more or less real or believable
And that’s not as strong of a bet as you think. Rack specialists or using a accurack we all know racks can be hacked apart with a player just playing dam near the same layout every time.
Why you think that many tournaments make you put the 2 ball in the back of the rack?
Just because everyone else just wacks away at the break doesn’t mean that’s benefiting them lol.
As such of course kicks and jumping the cb are abviously allowed.
Dave will jump full ball with a house cue from a half diamond....I’ve seen it and it’s not like he’s the best to ever wield a cue but dam sure one of the greats

What about worst running 40 balls into one hole without touching another?
Ervilino and crane both supposedly running well over 500. Johnny number is said to be in the 700s.
16 year olds win world championships....
The depth of skill that can be acquired and executed in this game is beyond what some understand, it’s just as strong as the mountain of data that chess legends learn and put to use. imop
What those guys do with memory also seems amazingly impossible for us.
Bhlomdahl ran what 33 points in 3 cushion?
Culemans had it at 27 for decades.....everyone thought it would never be beaten.
Eddies banks record was done playing FULL RACK not that half rack stuff we diddle with today. In my mind that’s the holy grail of pool records not the 14.1 high run.

At one time I felt the same about someone snapping in the 9 thirteen times in a row. Then I saw it happen, and had to pay out $100 a game on it.
Be careful with bets like that. Donnie Mills just might take you up on it.

Some guy in a 5 man ring game. Two of us complained about the rack after about 6 of them, but got voted down. Was too good of an action spot to make a big scene about it.

Brutal isn't a strong enough word for the 9 on the break story. Obviously a problem with the rack. I would have just asked for a different triangle. No biggie.
And I understand the statistics of critical state physics. My bet proposal still stands. But I'll do the racking, thank you.
[as an aside about statistics and odds. If you have 23 people in a room the odds are 50-50 that 2 of them will share the same birthday. If you have 75 people in the same room the odds rise to 99.9% that 2 will share the same birthday. It's an exponential thing and it applies to pool too. Just because it happened once in the 2 hundred year history of pool, doesn't mean it can be duplicated. Think of all the billions of games played over those 200 years. I'll take my chances with one person in a four hour period. 'nuff said]

No of course I get what you mean. Trust me it’s not like I’m saying “oh this is a lock for some pro”
Heck no lol.
Just saying it’s been done and can be is all.
With a neutral racker (no accurack) on a brand new table I’d be betting the same thing your offering lol. Of course those odds are in your favor.
But it’s a strawman argument sort of.
No ones gotten ahead of mosconis 526 officially but like we have mentioned in here before....it’s mostly because it’s not popular.
Lock some monsters up in a room and twll them there’s some big prize or that they can’t leave till they bust the record.....the record would fall. I have no doubts. Would it come quick? No. Could it take a few months or 6 heck yeah....but it could and would be accomplished. At least that’s how I feel about it personally

I’ve just seen too much myself personally and know too much about the games history to count out possibilities of people NOT being able to accomplish something when they grit their teeth hard enough.
I’ll bet if we went back in time and someone proclaimed someone would be doing the artistic things Florian is doing most would have called bullshit lol....and look at that lil skinny chit, he’s on another planet

Newer players have the advantage of having a target to shoot for. Like Isaac Newton said: "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants."
