    How much weight could you give up?

    In a Derby City format, I would easily beat my 20 year old self at banks or one-pocket. 9-ball would be a completely different story. Considering that I almost never have the opportunity to play it anymore, I would lose at snooker badly to my 20 year old self.

    One foot on the floor...

    Watching a snooker match on youtube, Alex Higgins adopts quite the stance at 2:20 in the match to follow that rule. Later at 7:20 he has the referee clean the cue ball so he can get a drag on his cigarette... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aC3_Dkops4

    The Hustler / What age? Influence?

    I was 20 or 21 when I saw it for the first time and was already playing. As far as influence, I spent a lot of time shooting the bank shot on the 8-ball.

    Texas and 8ft'rs...?

    There used to be a lot of oversize 8 foots in TN as well. I loved playing on them but they've pretty much disappeared.

    If he had shot it "hundreds of times" what are the odds it would line up for him perfectly during a tournament where lots of matches were being filmed? Here's where the clip comes from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_aRv6MpNgc
