Yep agreed. Some guys really are just timeless. And a shout out to Accu Stats for capturing what it did back in the early days. There is basically not a single video of Mosconi actually playing competitive pool in his prime. We're very fortunate that isn't the case for some of the guys...

While I agree that legends would be legends, I think the level of play is way higher and tighter in the modern era. I love watching the old videos Accu Stats has been uploading over the past few months/years - I like watching them more so than modern pool. But I can't help but conclude that...

1. What he enjoys most about the modern game? 2. What he misses most about the vintage game (e.g., the 14.1 to 9 ball transition era)? I asked him about the top selling videos a while ago and he said they are the Z-Shot and Sigel's 150 against Zuglan. I recall he said that the top selling...

Rest easy Mika. One of the best when I really got into pool in the early 2000s. So young. Too young.

I think the Miz had the prettiest stroke as well. It looked like a toothpick in his hands, but it was as graceful a movement as anyone.

Jump to 1:20 if the time stamp didn’t work. It is, to me, a very pretty stroke. To my knowledge, this brief clip is all there is though and it isn't much. The whole video is cool. Dan D, Weenie Beanie, etc. A different era for pool.

Looks like a few players won't miss AC from the comments haha. I don't blame them. AC was somewhat local for me. I never go to AC otherwise, unless I'm literally driving through it to get to Cape May or I have to attend some kind of industry event down there.

I'm gonna make the trip down to Harrahs for the final day. Looks like it should be a good one. Yapp seems to be the most consistent out of everyone left.

Yes, but tends to be later in the day for whatever reason. Typically flawless during the day.

I've never hit with a Schon that didn't feel like a piece of rebar. I like Schon, but it has always been the opposite of soft. Strong taper, LBM ferrules, and the "i can't believe that's leather" tips they come stock with have always translated to an ultra stiff hit. Played with a few Schon's...

That’s why I’m really pulling for Shane. 6 titles will probably stand for a long, long time as the record. The field is just so deep with so many killers it seems impossible for anyone to have a stranglehold on it anymore. I’ll be there on the final day as somewhat local. Should be a great...

Where do you live? That view looks divine.

Later renamed !Smorgassbored so he always appeared at the top of the rep rankings (back when that was a thing / a way to send messages).

So young. Truly shocking and devastating. RIP Chang! My condolences to friends and family.

Anthony Beeler shoots pretty sporty.

Those two would parabola off in a game of 14.1. They've transcended simple shapes like squares.

I understand they told you three weeks. Even if its a spiffed "off the shelf" cue - three weeks is super fast in any cuemaker's universe for any kind of made to order cue that I'd just assume he meant like three months or something and three weeks would come and go. I guess Schmelke can turn...

Or the Mike Sigel vulgate, "Efrum."

W I’ve run over 10,000 balls playing 14.1! (Those 4s and 5s start to add up)
