Watching this match they both missed some surprising shots. I think a lot of it was fatigue. There was some shots vanover missed that he shot at the ball the second his bridge hand hit the table . Compared to the carful pool they play today it was surprising to see

I just turned on and even the introduction conversation is good. "The script" hits a chord with me, as I had the opportunity to play Steve Mizerack in our little $5 eight-ball tournament. I was in anticipation of a lesson but didn't get to see him shoot. My break and run did change the script. Steve did take the time to give me a lesson post match.....at the dart board. His opening with 3 in a bed was impressive. A true gentleman that was a favorite teacher.
Now to get back to the movie and see how the script plays out.

For many years, Bob Vanover was a Beast. He stayed mostly in TX so he didn’t have quite the notoriety as the players on the coasts, but nobody, I mean nobody liked it when his name popped up as next in a tourney.

And he worked all week selling furniture. Not many played his speed and had a real job.

And we had his brother, Tom 'cigar Tom' Vanover here in the mid Atlantic. Also and excellent pool player.

Anybody know how/ where they got their pool chops? Together?
