Lou Butera

[Rich R.]

Luc Salvas is touted by many as a rapid-fire player. Can anyone say how he'd stack up against Machine Gun?

Lou, in his prime, was definitely faster than Luc. Also, Lou's mechanics were much better. Luc doesn't always have the best mechanics, when playing. Lou always seemed to know exactly where the cue ball would end up and he was there waiting. Although moving fast, he shot most shots using very good mechanics.

If I remember right I think Lou did 120 balls in 17 minutes. Most of that time was in racking the balls.

So whadda you think?

Is Lou's record as impressive as Willie's 526?
