Chris's Billiards Chicago

Of course it is not him

I hope this isn't who you are referring too!

This is so bad, it's funny. Not only can't he hold a cue...look where he is looking at the end of the video! LMFAO


Jeff Gates is a little eccentric, but I have witnessed, and he has recorded (since he has the video camera running all the time he is shooting these shots) making 40 balls in one shot -- many times. Why he refuses to put his shot up on YouTube, or in a TV commercial, or anything else, is his own strange decision. He is very paranoid about someone else somehow taking credit and advantage of what he has worked on for years. He doesnt do it for the money, so the only people who have had access to viewing the shot are the players who hang in Chris's Billiards.

Beard

He does have a few bucks so he rents the table by the year!
(Now to all those potential wise-guys out there who say it cant be done, save your money, you will lose.)

Yeah, that whole protective thing was a little tough to figure out. Nice guy overall.

Like George and Freddy have stated, that's Jeff Gates and he's no nutjob.
He invented a shot that is up to over 40 balls on one stroke. I have a video of myself shooting it when it was at 24 balls in 1991.

Just for the record, I didn't call him a nut job. I was just making a joke.
 
I didn't know Jeff as well as others here, but I seem to remember him calling himself nuts. :)
