Straight pool great John Schmidt joins Legends of the Cue with Bob Keller, “Shortstop on Pool,” to tell the story behind Schmidt’s extraordinary 820-ball straight pool run.
John explains why he returned to serious 14.1 high-run attempts, how Jayson Shaw’s 832-ball mark motivated him, and what changed from his previous 626-ball run. He breaks down the preparation, table conditions, equipment, racking methods, pacing, mindset, and pattern play that made the run possible.
Bob offers the unique perspective of the man who racked, filmed, tracked statistics, and supported John throughout the attempt.
Hosted by Mark Wilson, Allison Fisher, and Mike Gonzalez, this special Legends of the Cue conversation is part straight pool masterclass and part pool history, culminating in the dramatic end of the run at 820.
A must-watch for fans of John Schmidt, Bob Keller, 14.1 continuous, straight pool, and professional billiards.
