You've inspired me, Lou....I need to start playing straight pool again. I wish there were still big USAF tournaments during my tenure.I grew up playing 14.1.
Saw Mosconi several times, won a USAF 14.1 European Championship, won a US Open qualifier in Chicago, done commentary at the American 14.1, and have always enjoyed playing and practicing it. I used to get the occasional 100 on a tough GC. Nowadays I play on a shimmed Diamond and want to celebrate if I run 70, lol.
