Another great straight rail run. Is he a perfectionist?

Um...He'll probably miss the next shot when all the light goes out!

He's not a perfectionist, it's just Raymond Ceulemans. The best player in the history of carom billiards

This "man" (more like a "Hercules of Carom" ---Pool god's half-human/half-god sons) is one of many of reasons why I pick up a carom cue at a nearby carom billiard table and play for the fun of it.

Yup, he sure makes that look easy. Yet, it puts into perspective that more than 100 years ago, Jake 'the Wizard' Schaefer, Frank Ives, and others ran thousands at the rail using junk balls, junk cloth, gas lights, and poor tips. That is what I find amazing.

Thanks for the link. Great playing by Raymond and it was good to see Sang Lee again (RIP).
