Straight pool greatest run.
 
Another record that will probably never be broken? From guy most don’t even know?

John Schmidt (pool player - Wikipedia)

John Schmidt 626 High Run - Chasing Greatness - Predator Cues - YouTube

Well, IMO Joshua Filler may challenge on day?

I don’t know several video’s on Utube of his attempts.

So, you don’t believe he done it? This guy been close for years and it (according to video I posted) sanctioned. I don’t think Predator cue’s would participate in fraud attempt?

I understand that there is a video, but it is only shown in private events for a fee, and John Schmidt appears in person. Here is just one of many comments about the video posted on AZbilliards.com.

"I just want to recap what an incredible event we saw last night. Jerry McWorter has put together an incredible presentation of one of the greatest achievements in sports history. Not only do you get to see John Schmidt's entire 626 ball run, but he is there to commentate and answer questions as you watch. John explains shot selection on key shots and is brutally honest about ego, self doubt, fear of choking, and how it affects his game physically as the pressure builds. In the end he grinds through it to break a record that stood for 65 years. Most of the people there made 4-6 hour round trips to be there, and it was beyond our expectations."
