Don't know any rooms with a 'pit' table. A lot of them have a table that's used for action but not in any pit. Not real sure exactly what you mean here. Why is another question.

It can probably be looked up but I think Kelly's real last name with something like a Zingle. I got to know him a little bit and learned quite a bit about ball spinning.

He used to do that one thing in front of an audience where he would pocket I think all 15 balls in the corner pocket and like 20 minutes or something. And the audience would keep track of the time.

He was so good at it as the time was running out there would be a few balls left and just as time ran out with maybe three or four seconds left he'd make the last ball. He did it every time.

I used to do one of his tricks where you rack up 15 balls and throwing the cue ball three rails or more make the eight out of the middle of the rack. I got to where I could bet on 10 but usually got it done in five to seven throws.

Great post. There's no question that the decline in America's standing in the world of pro pool is, for some, a reason to view the past more favorably than the present. For me, I've never been much of a pool patriot, more inclined to enjoy great play regardless of who is producing it.
