Jayson Shaw’s 832 World Record is Official

And all this from a guy who apparently didn't like to practice, hence his quote "I'd no sooner play pool in my spare time than a head waiter would come in and wait on tables in his day off"

One secret, Willie practiced very hard before major events. As a regular habit to tune to be a little bit better in exhibitions, if one or two exhibitions like he put on almost every day didn't keep you in tune nothing would.

I shot pool alone a lot. Drills or the same shot over and over didn't happen, a matter of patience. I didn't have any patience for shooting drills and such. I have never played computer games on the same basis as Willie. I drew with AutoCAD or Intergraph or maybe worked with other drawing related programs eight to ten hours a day. Playing games on a computer seemed so much like work I felt like I should be paid. No pay, no work.
