    Buddy Hall in Action

    I used to see Buddy play in a lot of tournaments in the 80's and 90's and he was great. Excellent Cue ball control, terrific stroke, and a ton of heart. What I wasnt able to do was see him in action with the other top players. Can some people like Jay Helfert give us to some insight of how...
