That's the only spot on the video I can see his slip stroke. Wish there was a shot of him from the side.

i was thinking the same thing as i watched that videohttps://youtu.be/bY2wCC9EXIc?t=559
Two shots later. Not to devolve into an aiming discussion but I noticed he lined up on the inside of the cue ball regardless of where he was going to strike it.
Another tidbit about Jimmy Moore. If you watch the Irving Crane 150 and out Jimmy Moore is in the audience puffing on a cigar. I'm guessing he must have been in the tournament. I wonder if there is a reel of tape inside a can on a shelf somewhere of more matches from that tournament.
I watched a Crane vid on YT of him running 150 and out, I believe against Balsis. Only time in my life I've actually seen someone run 150 balls ( I watched the entire thing ). Our room owner used to play a lot of 14.1 and I've seen him run over 100 several times ( though it's been many years ) but never 150. That's one of the things I most admired about the oldsters back in the 14.1 days, their ability ( not that they had a lot of options, I suppose ) to sit and watch as their opponent stayed at the table for at times, an hour or more. I could never have done that. My head would have exploded at the 20 minute mark.
For some reason when I'm on my phone the video link doesn't jump to a specific point, but there is a good view at around or maybe just before the 14 min mark.That's the only spot on the video I can see his slip stroke. Wish there was a shot of him from the side.

There once was a player named Puckett,
Who was actually not from Nantucket.
Three to two stood the score,
When he played Jimmy Moore,
Then he made the nine ball and said, "Well, I'll be a son of a gun!"
I never met him, but in the video he comes across as one of the nicest guy you could hope to find in the pool room.... And many times Jimmy had to buy them a bus ticket so they could get back home. He was a very strong player for a very long time.
