What does it matter, they made it very clear pocket size means nothing, so I'll set a table up for John that has FACTORY built 6" corners and 6 1/2" sides, should be interesting
You Sir, are an idiot! Good Table Mechanic, but that's all I can say about you! Did you pick on Johns Pockets after his 626?What does it matter, they made it very clear pocket size means nothing, so I'll set a table up for John that has FACTORY built 6" corners and 6 1/2" sides, should be interesting
Pockets don't matter, thats been made clear, by you, the host of this event, and everyone else like you. So if pockets don't matter, we'll see what happens later.
Under these conditions, John might be able to push the high run record to more than 1500.
6" corner pocket, 6 1/2"side pocket, AND factory built specs at that!!!!
Hell, John may have to even quit pocketing balls at some point from just not missing, I guess if that were to happen, it would pretty much destroy any high run attempts in the future.

And all of this could have been easily avoided, lay down 700+ on a proper table and it would have shut down all debate and the nastiness that has come with it.
If I’m not mistaken he had a roughly 400 ball run earlier in his final session as well, a number of hours before starting the 714 run. I thought he was cooked after that run ended, but he just kept on going, all through the night!
I still haven’t seen the complete stats for his five or six days/sessions. I believe he had numerous 300+ runs countless 200+ runs, far more than Earl did. Certainly got better and better in his pattern play every session.
No way. Some here would have just found other reasons to complain. Some are trolls, others are disrespectful assholes. That is what toxic people do. You give them a hundred dollar bill and they will complain about having to go "break it" at a bank before they can spend it.
Yes, just under 400.. 39X? If you are wired the right way like Jayson is failure fuels determination and success!
Indeed. I did not come here for a long time, but it's pretty incredible to see how toxic some are. I read the is the 626 legitimate thread and then have been following the various threads with this 14.1 legends challenge. Incredible stuff on both "sides" of the fence.
I'm not so sure about that. I think they probably need something to chase other than just cash and beating their personal best. I could be wrong though.
I agree. That was the whole reason why Jaysons high run jumped from 270 to 714 in less than a month. But what I mean is that, given the correct incentive, I think the high run ceiling is a bit higher for these guys.
I'm wondering now that Jayson owns the record if the monitary incentive remains as the primary concern.
You think if JS had done his run on a factory fresh Diamond that thread would have gone the way it did? I don't think it would have.
I think the patterns would improve but Mosconi credits a lot of his success to keeping his shots short. He says that he improved over Greenleaf's style by doing that. That is against the grain for standard rotation play.
Key word highlighted...
What exactly is proper...? More improtantly, what is proper for the game of 14.1...? Is it the same as proper for 1 pocket..?
Given the sad state of Pools governance I would opt for the WPA standards as that is what is used currently for most Pro events.
I'm a big fan of Jasons game, followed his trajectory since he played English pool, disappointed that this was not done right.
