Grady came to the Ballroom (Toms River N.J.) pool hall to see his good friend the owner Tony Cattucci in the mid '80's.
I played him a game of 14.1 and beat him.
Neptune Joe Frady(RIP) destroyed him playing 9 ball.
In my opinion Grady was in that level just below the top players of that time.
Had no idea I had this until I went in for a scope. It would not fit up one side of my nose.
It doesn't affect me much at all so I have not addressed the issue.
Best of luck to him and anyone who needs to undergo the fix. It can be rough.
Grady's game was over rated. He was a high level One Pocket player, but not one of the top five guys, maybe top ten. I watched Ronnie give him 9-6, 9-7 and torture him. As you said Grady was a famous pool sucker, going off to all the top hustler/players.
Grady could probably murder me on the table but he wasn't a monster player. He had heart/guts though. I think he really shined in the teaching/instructing aspect as well as commentary. Some of the things he would say had me rolling. That and he was knowledgeable enough to be able to learn from when he was commentating.
I would have loved to hang out with Grady for a while, he seemed like a real hoot to be around. Some of his ongoing "rivalries" that we got to see on the accustats tapes were gold.
i did that one some years ago. lots of guys have this without knowing it, especially if they were in many fights growing up (cumulative trauma). didn't enhance my pool game much, but it eliminated my snoring
closest one I have is I have to take an hour boat ride. the other one is an 8 hour drive and one more from overseas. I'm already in talks with 2 of them. one of which I'm waiting after I gave what materials I want for the cue. from those 3, I could buy a few right now from their inventory but wanted to try something unique as per my specifications. nothing too flashy but the wood selection are bit on the denser side.
