Who is the current record holder of the highest run in 14.1?
All I remember was Willie Mosconi made till 526 in 1954.

Folks:
If you're talking about the modern-day high run (and not Willie's "asterisked" 526, which was done on an 8-foot table with recreationally-cut pockets), then that would have to be Thomas Engert's 491 on a Dynamic 9-footer with Artemis cushions and tournament-cut pockets. If my memory serves, I'd read that Thomas accomplished that feat during a 14.1 league match, and there were many witnesses for the whole run, start to finish.

When one of the current 14.1 pros tops 526 on an 8 foot table with recreational pockets, then you can put an Asterisk next to Willie's name and not a day before.
Sean - thanks for the great recommendation on a Dyson hand-held for my table. It works great! However, I have to agree with Dr9ball on this one. There's no asterisk in the record books next to Roger Maris' 61 home runs.
I think records in sports are, and always will be, imperfect measures. I think you have to take them for what they are worth.
