Thank you Jay and everyone else for your comments! Here's a close up of Cuban Joe/Chico from Pool & Billiards Magazine. It sure does look like him!

I believe found a youtube link to the match I had saved but the video properties are now set to private :( Maybe someone could ask CSI to make it public (I know Mark Griffin sold out a couple of years ago so don't know who would be best placed to do that) ?

I believe TAR did a live ppv streaming at the time. Justin Collett is your best bet. His AZB nickname is JCIN. If you manage to find a copy of the match, I’d be interested to buy it, too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's a cool picture from one of Grady's one pocket legends tournaments (likely 1992) that has been posted on 1p.org (thanks sheldon). So far we have ID'ed as follows: Top (L to R): Ralph Carnes, Michael Wilson, "Weenie Beanie" Bill Staton, Roger Griffis, Hal Mix, Larry Lisciotti, Wesley...

I’d try a different tip with the same cue if you feel like you’ve hit a plateau and take it from there. What tip are you playing with atm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would be interested to know why no one recommends McDermott? I have had my D19 since the ‘90s and it still plays as good as any other cue I’ve had. Otherwise I agree with others recommending Players, Schmelke and Mezz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe ESPN only did three of them in 1982 through to 1984 but icbw. The winners were: Willie Mosconi (‘82), Luther Lassiter (‘83) and Jimmy Moore (‘84). Never heard about any subsequent ESPN Legends events Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks very sleek. Fantastic job Mike! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got my merry widow on the secondary market for $1.2k. You don’t have to pay $2-4k to get a Lambros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jay would know how Mike got his Captain Hook moniker (and it’s not because he had more than a fair share of good rolls) and why he had difficulty finding a backer when still in his prime. I know this info second or even third hand so would be keen to get it confirmed/denied by someone who was...

On a diamond table I would bank one rail. The object ball should turn nicely off the top rail. The make % is quite a bit higher for the 1-railer. If the object ball were closer to the long rail, the 3-railer would become a better / the only option. As others have suggested, you’d want to open...

Mark Williams has held the title of the best single ball potter for about 20 years but I think Judd tops him in that department Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I read in BD (or P&BM possibly) that Luther Lassiter had been asked exact same question and he said that the only person he’d let shoot if his life depended on it was the Cincinnati Kid, Don Willis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This may give you an idea JAM :wink: https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=80532

I thought I’d mention Cecil Tugwell here. He lost the use of his right arm in the 70s - courtesy of a bad accident - and switched to playing left-handed. Although people say that he was not able to regain full speed as a leftie but still became a world beater again and went on to win quite a few...

The straightest shooter in snooker has to be Judd Trump. I think even Ronnie would admit that. Some of the shots he attempts and makes are out of this world. There are a number of his shot compilations on youtube - you will need a jaw support to watch them [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using...

I second that. If it weren’t for Pat, we would not be able to see today what a great player Mike Zuglan was or catch a glimpse of Bugs, Ronnie, Jersey Red, Cornbread Red, Boston Shorty and many other great players of that bygone era. Don’t forget to like the videos if you enjoyed them guys...

You are right, he played pretty sporty straight pool. I remember him manhandling Dallas West in The 1995 Maine Event (Grady ran 102 and out). His match against Pat Fleming in Cleveland was a sight to behold, with Pat running 101 and Grady coming back to beat him. However, for the life of me, I...

The 1989 finals is on youtube - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6aCoMzfMiTk&t=5215s Accu-Stats stopped carrying the 1990 SRO match quite a while ago. I hope Pat still has a master tape and will digitise it and release the match for everyone to enjoy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
