Nick shared his big pin Tad with me during my last visit. It still hits GREAT! He said that he kept a piece of duct tape on it for psychological warfare. I guess he worked, he beat a prime time Sigel in the finals to win his first World Straight Pool title. He also went through Chicago before and after the tournament beating the best one pocket players for the cash. He said, in a humble way, he felt like if he could just see the ball he could make it in those days.
