Yeah, if I'm in that game for 100 a rack and some guy keeps racking 9 ball breaks, say 5 in a row, I kick him in the nuts.
Going back a ways!
Jay, this may have been a "hair" before your time (no pun intended) but
did you know that Titanic Thompson (Thomas) was an unbelievable
3-rail kicker ? He was never above a shortstop at pool (and he hated
that) but none of the top players around Dallas could beat him at any
type of kicking game. Ask Buddy Hall or Alfie Taylor. He was also told, by
Sam Snead, that he (Ti) had the greatest natural golf swing he'd ever
seen. He routinely shot in the 70's when he was in is 70's. He is still
the most unforgetable character I've ever met. I have some stories
about him that would curl your hair. (oops.)
One other pool feat that I thought was pretty strong. Running back to
back 6 pockets (in golf on a fairly tough 6 x 12) from the break. (I have
witnesses)

I really should have quit, and the pro I was backing wanted to, but I was young and stupid and told him to stay in the game. He did, and we were down about 3-4 games after all the 9 snaps. When he got back to even he quit. His mind was a little fried at that point.We were the only ones that quit the game. There were 4 left after we got out.PoolBum said:
The most amazing thing that I've seen is my DVD of Danny Medina playing Billy Incardona, and after they both had a rather slow start, he broke and ran 9-racks in a row, before he hopped the ball off the table on the break. These weren't easy racks either. He made some very tough cuts, banks, even a kick-bank-combination.
