Boy do you see silly comments in the chat though!! Lot's of people who have no idea about the 526 and Mosconi. Lots of people who like to talk about other higher runs undocumented -- but hello people -- those are practice runs and undocumented, they don't count as a record!
Some who have complained that his runs don't count because he is playing "cue ball fouls only" and all the straight pool tournaments of yore were "all ball fouls". Well do those people not realize Mosconi's 526 was in an exhibition, not a tournament, and who the f knows what fouls would have been technically called or not lol. And oh by the way, it was an 8' table reportedly with BIG pockets (not to diminish what Mosconi did, because I think it is amazing anyway -- and as yet unduplicated in more than 50 years).
And some try to dismiss John because the pockets are 5 and 5-1/2 on the GC he is doing this on -- not a modern Diamond. LOL, John has run 434 on a friggin Diamond. But the best of all are the many who think he is playing the wrong shot often -- probably those are players with personal high runs under 40 lol :frus:frus
Anyway, I find it fun to watch... For the first 200 or so he is really quick at finding his patterns and shooting. I often cannot even keep up trying to anticipate just watching!
