On December 3, 2018, John Schmidt broke his all time record and joins the Top 5 14.1 Straight Pool high runs of all time. In this video, John uses a Predator P3 Red and a 12.4mm REVO shaft. Congratulations John!

John has a run of over 300 on a really tight pocket table. And he said that was one of his best runs. But there is always some troll who can spell pool going to find something to belittle some ones accomplishment . That is my main complaint about the internet. There are lots of keyboard warriors who can't walk the walk.

Lol people. Point out the pocket size, which in fact is generous, but they won't be able to run 50 balls on the same table. Run over 100 balls let alone on any table is a good accomplishment do over 400 and it takes serious skill regardless of pocket size.

Yes and those people don't realize how much set up comes into it. Because "Americans" play on larger pockets there is a lot more set up variety. Nobody really is running 400s on a diamond or super tight Brunswick. He may be playing on a larger pocketed table, but he is also controlling the cue ball and stopping on literally a dime, it's a lot of feel for that and more then just pocketing balls and pure accuracy. @@JeffKernsTheArtist
@marshalcraft5 жыл бұрын
Also to me the issue with tight pockets is not "hitting center pocket" or accuracy, it plain throws your cue ball off, you come up short, can't get as much action out of the cue ball and what not, and before long all discombobulated. Not saying for or against tight pockets for those who like that kind of thing (you could go play snooker??) but I do kind of reject the idea, that a pool table is somehow gonna produce better players. Sure it has part in it, but it won't make you more accurate some how I don't think.

Although John plays pretty fast remember that you can watch it faster if you're pressed for time. If watching on a computer you can press the left and right arrows on the keyboard to skip 5 seconds in either direction and press J and L to skip 10 seconds in either direction. K pauses and plays. Sometimes you have to click the video to pause and click to play to activate those keyboard shortcuts. But regardless, you can quickly and easily get the most out of your pool video watching on KZfaq this way. If viewing on a phone you can also double tap the side of the video to go forward and back 10 seconds. That said, awesome run John. I'm hoping you get the record soon.

Greatest run with that "infamous" distinction now. I've been playing 20+ years I've only seen that on a Masse shot. That's going to be the shot known around the world long after we're gone. True he does take the record later but this will have some hold over it because of the epic ending . Either way he deserves the title as both having the record and the infamous shot to his credit. The shot could have happened at any time so when it did I was shocked. I'll always wonder about that shot now. Almost paranormal like a mysterious "Christine" or "Grassy Knoll" cue ball out there but we all have multiple cue ball stories. Not like that though at least not me as of yet. I'll have to find out what tip he used cause he didn't chalk up to many times on the first rack granted I know he just was going through the motions but I'm curious.

Is it just to have a better spread of the pack balls and/or for cue ball positioning or something else?
@crissixstrings5 жыл бұрын
This game is 14.1 Continuous, commonly called straight pool. 14 balls are pocketed, then the last ball is left as a "break ball," to break the re-racked 14 balls, to continue the run. The object of the game is to reach an agreed-upon score before an opponent. Each ball is worth one point. In practice, players run as many as possible as a measure of skill. John is trying to beat Mosconi's official high-run of 526. He has also mentioned beating Arthur Cranfield's unofficial high-run of 768.

@mickenzie58635 жыл бұрын
They needed more memory or battery for the camera they were recording with, they were running out and needed to shut off camera to change it. John wanted to make the change with a table full of balls to make it harder to reproduce, to prove he didn't cheat during the time camera is off. He also realized there was a black and white security camera recording the room as well, if he needed additional proof. He wanted to make sure that if he beat Mosconi's run there'd be no room for people to accuse him of shenanigans. The cueball just needed to be cleaned as it had been used for many racks without cleaning. Bits of chalk embedded into the cueball can cause skid and cause a shot to miss that otherwise would have went with a clean ball. It's good policy to clean the cueball as often as possible. On a long run like this there are few opportunities to handle the cueball, so it needed to be marked (with the cube of chalk), cleaned, and replaced.

There is no benefit to putting all that English on the ball when breaking the pack. Energy simply goes into rotating the ball rather than ball speed - and potting accurately becomes more difficult. You can get away with this on unmissable pockets, but not on a snooker table.
@LeonFleisherFan5 жыл бұрын
Comparisons are odious: the ball size and pockets form the very basis of a number of entertaining pool games, the rotational ones in particular, but also banks, One Pocket and Straight Pool, that no one in their right mind would WANT to play on a Snooker table. Snooker with tight pockets is fine since the pattern (and hence position) play is Worlds apart easier than in pool, given every second shot is onto a color that's being put back onto its spot. To play, say, Rotation, 9-Ball or 10-Ball on a Snooker table, now that would be a serious problem. People would get bored - imagine how much Snooker would be slowed down if that the colors weren't being re-spotted on the spots used today, but on a rail/under a cushion. People want to play and watch games that are difficult for the amateur as well as the pro, but surely not impossible for the latter.

I'd like to see you try to run 434 balls on that exact same table.

I mean, he's not wrong. That was a bad miss. This reduces the accomplishment significantly, though it's still quite a remarkable feat

I see what you mean. That really shows that the corner pockets are quite wide and maybe shallow too. But still, you have to admit, he plays a pretty tight game. It was also at sort-of pocket speed so some tables will accept an over-cut ball like that if played soft.

does not count because he was doing it from the wrong end of the table...lol

Most impressive part is that he did with that awful music in the background

Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" is considered by most experts the greatest jazz album of all time, and one of the greatest musical achievements regardless of genre..

"Awful music" is subjective, but I think that one of the skills any serious pool player must acquire is the ability to play pool in areas where they play music that one hates. I actually like this music for pool, but I hate most of what gets played during pool tournaments, in bars, etc.

Great, John, but no one plays straight pool any more. Stick to nine ball or ten ball.
