    Video of Mosconi shooting some Straight Pool in 1980

    Cool :) How about Dailymotion?... It's possible to upload clips on there that are just under 20 mins long and 2GB in size and so, I would imagine that it could be uploaded in 2,3,4 parts, depending on how long the entire video footage is :) Willie

    Hey Dennis, how are ya buddy? :) If you could do that to upload the video somehow, that would be brilliant since it would also be a little look back a part of billiards history and to get a little more insight on Willie Mosconi as a player and a person :) Willie

    it's funny you asking about the 150 and out by Crane being available because I have wondered that same question many times as well, including whilst typing out my previous reply :) lol I can't help thinking that Willie Mosconi must've had ran a fair few 100+ run outs, including a few 150's, but...

    Yes, I remember that match, I believe it was from 1963 and Jimmy was playing strong in that match, but neither player seemed to really be able to really get into 3rd gear :) I agreed totally and I reckon that ABC could easily make alot of money from having the footage of all those old billiards...

    I think you're right on the money about Willie's pattern play as I have heard that same thing over the years :) From what I remember of what I'd read about or heard is that Willie was somewhat notorious for having the ability to run the balls of the table only using the 2 bottom corners and the...

    Antique Brunswick info needed.

    If I had the room for a table, I'd love to buy a Brunswick "Kling" table with the original ball "Lightning" return system... I think they're the same model of tables that were in the pool room called "Elkers" in NYC, where "The Hustler" was filmed :) There's something about those big old tables...

    With all due respect to you buddy, but I did not post this thread for any political soap boxing or any kind of political debates, etc. I would like you to please edit your post and have some courtesy to respect another person's choices for what they are, but most of all to keep politics, etc...

    Hi Jason. Are there any pics of the table that can be posted up, as I suspect that some of the table mechanics may recognise it and be able to shed some more light on it :) Also, it'll be worth while posting this thread in here as well :- http://forums.azbilliards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54 I...
