Niels is a good shooter, indeed. The closest I've heard of anybody coming close to Mosconi's 526 was a run made by John "Mr. 400" Schmidt. It's too bad that many don't play 14-1 (STRAIGHT POOL) these days...it is quite possibly the purest form of the game with every shot being called...
(edit) I once watched my "honorary nephew" Matt make a practice run of 126...on a 9' Brunswick...4 7/8" pockets. Don't think he's broken 120 since.
The "Derby City Classic" is quite a show from what I've read of it. Multiple tournaments in about every pool game there is. Top players from all over the planet attending. Action going on 24/7....
Thanks for posting this. I'm pretty sure many who post here don't have a clue what pool excellence is. This is a good illustration of same. Niels has whitey on a string in this video...
