Greatest Distance Travelled with a Pool Cue Balanced on the Chin
This record has been verified and authenticated as a global benchmark
On 15 August 2017, at the Boise High School Track in Boise, Idaho, USA, David Rush accomplished one of the most uniquely demanding feats of balance and endurance ever officially recorded. Travelling an astounding 3,300 metres — over 10,826 feet — with a pool cue perfectly balanced on his chin, David demonstrated a remarkable fusion of athletic discipline, mental focus, and physical precision that left all witnesses in awe.
What makes this achievement even more extraordinary is the motivation behind it. David Rush undertook this formidable challenge specifically to promote STEM Education — proving that even the most unusual physical feats require deep technical understanding of balance, biomechanics, and engineering principles. Every step of those 3,300 metres demanded constant micro-adjustments, unwavering concentration, and a mastery of physics that few people could sustain for even a fraction of the distance.
The World Records Authority proudly certifies this record as a landmark of human achievement. David Rush continues to inspire the world through records that connect physical excellence with intellectual purpose.
