    Video of Mosconi shooting some Straight Pool in 1980

    It is certainly a good possibility considering Willie's age at the time of the video clip :) Willie

    Video of Mosconi shooting some Straight Pool in 1980

    I honestly don't know buddy, it's been working ok for me :) It might be worth trying a different browser like google Chrome or something to see if it'll work for you :confused: Willie

    Video of Mosconi shooting some Straight Pool in 1980

    If anyone knows what video this is actually from, it'd be interesting to try and get a copy of it. Also Willie briefly mentions his 526 run at the end :) http://vimeo.com/4957545 Enjoy :) Willie

    366 on video by JS

    Major credit to John for tasty string of high runs, but to be honest I'm not surprised about the 366 run because John is undoubtedly a top quality straight pool shooter and I feel that it's simply a matter of time before he either wins the world title and/or surpasses Willie Mosconi's 526...

    Dump

    I am currently unemployed and am looking for work, but I have never been a money orientated person because there is more to life and the sport of pool than money :) For those who think of pool as just being a means to earn a few extra bucks, that's entirely fine as it is their personal choice...

    Dump

    Well, I am simply going to say that any pros who have/do dump matches, don't deserve any respect or credit as being a professional player. It may be buisness, but if a player is gonna dump, they'd be better off just not entering a tournament and leave the tournament to players who are there to...

    How far do you drive

    I can't drive and so it's a 1/2 mile walk to the train station, 10 mile train ride to Belfast, then a 2 mile walk from that train station to the pool hall, so about a 25 mile round trip, which really sucks. I have travelled to different places throughout Ireland and the UK to compete in...

    Dump

    I don't think they would, especially since they're all shooting for the top prize, if they weren't interested in winning the tournament, then why would they bother paying an entry fee? :) If I was playing a tournament and someone asked me to dump a match for money or whatever, I'd tell 'em to...

    What's the Longest Straight Pool Race You Have Played?

    Hey Guys As the title of the thread says, I was wondering what is the highest points Straight Pool match you have played, either in a match up or tournament? So far the longest race I've played in was a 200 point game with a buddy and practice partner a number of years ago, but now that I've...

    Players fight back...

    I totally agree with the view about the TV network idea for a 24/7 channel for Pool, but in order for a channel like that to work and to be entertaining, there would need to also be a some 3C and Artistic Pool added in tho the mix up, as well as displaying tournament matches from Men's, Women's...

    UK pool halls

    This is probably the nearest pool hall in the Blackpool area with American tables:- http://www.rileys.co.uk/club/110/Preston There was a Rileys club in Blackpool, but it has since closed down. It'd also be worth checking out Pro9.co.uk and ask Big Dave Knight if he knows of any other good...

    BUMP :thumbup: Very nice find and some rep points heading your way. It's about time that the Pool industry started looking outside the box, to the direction of other sports and see what can be done to improve the sport overall, not so much for the industry, but for the players. In my eyes...

    Bump I'm sorry to hear about your stuff going AWOL during the event and hopefully you'll get the whole lot back in tact. I agree with mamono on this as the more nootice coverage you can get, the better your chances are of having your equipment returned to you. Good luck and I hope it works...
