Buddy was Born in 1945; if he won 1991, He was '46'!

"Buddy" Hall (May 29, 1945 – May 22, 2025) was an American professional pool player. International Pool Tour described Hall as a "living pool legend".

You're both correct and thanks for pointing out my mistake. He was 53 when he won his second in 1998 (not 1991).

It's not felt, technically.

After having been to the Simonis factory in Belgium, it became necessary to understand the distinction between felt, which is usually made of compressed, treated rabbit fur, that is used in casino gaming tables and wool cloth, which is used on snooker, billiard and pool tables.
We should all recognize the difference.

A lot has been mentioned about Shane's performance and win at the age of 43. Keep in mind that Buddy won the US Open at 53 (1991) and Mike Lebron was the oldest at 54 (1988). Clearly a much deeper field today than in those days, but I think Shane is looking to get his sixth and I'll certainly be rooting for him.
