Lou is an ex-PAO.So what’s so hard about sharing with us the exact corner pocket and side pocket specs, if you are really trying to be transparent?
He only tells the story he is told to tell.
Ask Bobby.

I was told that it was stopped from the regular stream on purpose.Come on, seriously?
We have an unedited high-def recording backed up numerous times and places. Bobby is just in the process of getting the run certified.

So what’s so hard about sharing with us the exact corner pocket and side pocket specs, if you are really trying to be transparent? Mouth width, and either throat width or pocket facing angle - very simple!
If you guys are clueless as far as how to accurately take these measurements, I’m sure the table mechanic that altered these cushions/pockets knows exactly!
Lou, no one here is questioning the validity of Jayson‘s 714 ball run. Those of us here including myself who were lucky enough to witness a good bit of his FREE (greatly appreciated) live-streamed week long effort, including a good bit of his final session all know that Jason was playing unbelievably.
It would just be nice enough for those of us that are knowledgeable, to know the pocket specs of the table, so we can make some kind of determination in our minds as far as how the difficulty level of that run would compare to doing it on a diamond table, even if that would obviously be a very subjective opinion.
Yeah, thanks. I guess I must’ve missed that post, or was that your post basically telling us this would remain a tightly held secret, and how dare we ask?I have answered you on this so many times I will not do it again.

Not to mention that the photo with the calipers everyone is now having an aneurism over has been online since quite some time before SVB did the first session, and the people accusing Legends of only wanting to break Schmidt’s record (I don’t see why this is a problem to begin with, records are made to be broken no?) are only now brandishing pitchforks when the record seems to have been broken.I have answered you on this so many times I will not do it again.

Take another good look at that photo you’re referring to posted of the corner pocket with the calipers, showing 4.95” on the digital readout. If I knew how to copy and post it here I would, but I don’t.Not to mention that the photo with the calipers everyone is now having an aneurism over has been online since quite some time before SVB did the first session, and the people accusing Legends of only wanting to break Schmidt’s record (I don’t see why this is a problem to begin with, records are made to be broken no?) are only now brandishing pitchforks when the record seems to have been broken.
I think I just gave myself an aneurism.
I miss the $2 steakThat cow is out of the barn, been milked, slaughter, and ready to be served at Binion’s Steak House.

Whatever, lol.
Not going to debate anyone based upon fantasy conspiracy theories.

makes it very likely you were lying about the table specs the whole time. Studies in psychology show, people hate actually lying so they like to say the truth if this distracts from the honest answer. Like a player sitting on quads in poker will say "I am in the mood for some gamble, I never have full house" (no he doesn't, he has four of a kind, he beats every full house you might have).The caliper photo shows them at just a hair under 5".

the photo with the calipers was the only one we had before, so "innocent until proven guilty" we believed the pockets to be fair.Not to mention that the photo with the calipers everyone is now having an aneurism over has been online since quite some time before SVB did the first session, and the people accusing Legends of only wanting to break Schmidt’s record (I don’t see why this is a problem to begin with, records are made to be broken no?) are only now brandishing pitchforks when the record seems to have been broken.

We can thank Jayson for having the integrity to show us even if no one else did. The horse is now out of the barn and it will be interesting to see how the organizer’s damage control strategy plays out at this point.the photo with the calipers was the only one we had before, so "innocent until proven guilty" we believed the pockets to be fair.
After his record run Jayson showed on video, how big the pockets actually were. Knowing the size of the pool balls now it's visible for everyone that Lou gave us wrong information before. And now it makes sense to make such a big deal of not sharing the table specifications. Because even Lou and Bobby don't believe 5 1/4'' pockets to be fair.

....just saying
No, look again at the photo. It’s a matter of setting the caliper inner points precisely on both mouth points in order to take an accurate measurement. Can you honestly confirm that is the case in this photo? It’s simple, if you’re not intentionally looking to deceive your audience.yes, digital calipers don't say very much in a photo. i use a vernier caliper more often than a digital in my carpentry and welding projects nowadays. no need for battery or reset. i guess the resetting is the issue here.

Absolutely not true. The video was NEVER stopped at anytime. Please refer to our official statement that Lou posted up and also on Our Fb page The legends of Pocket Billiards. There will be no replies to anything else for nowI was told that it was stopped from the regular stream on purpose.
I should've known better than listen to this guy.
As much as I've seen of your and Bobby's post's and Bobby's announcements, I couldn't foresee anything underhanded going on.
My apologies to you and Bobby and I'll be looking for it to come out.
Definitive.there are so many threads talking about same theme, I couldn't find it to repost. But I read earlier this evening somewhere Bob Jewett providing BCA table specifications for something like the last 70 years. And there were never allowed pockets bigger than 5 1/8 ''
