Definitely love the man, but the soft Elkmaster tip and the "shag" cloth and 5 inch pockets of "back-in-the-day" really help too lol.Most powerful stroke ever by the most powerful man to ever play high level pool.
Not a diss, just an observation from 39 years experience.
Draw was used (over-used) as intimidation back in those days, but it was also just easier to execute on those tables.
Doing that today with a medium layered tip, on slick Simonis cloth, on a procut 9-foot Diamond, is pretty cool too.
Definitely impressive stuff either way though--- love the older footage.
