I would watch a man practice for an hour and if he missed more than one time I knew he couldn't beat me. ~~Wimpy Lassiter~~
 
As great as Wimpy was, that sounds like a lot of hot air.

But not beyond the realm of impossible. Willie's 526 was documented at 2 hours 20 minutes (or thereabouts). That's literally not missing a single ball in those 2 hours and 20 minutes!

I'd say not missing for an hour is a 150+ ball run at a nominal pace -- well within Wimpy's capability.

I do the same thing, but in 5 minutes....

If they miss more than 12 balls in 5 minutes, they cant beat me!
:D

I am a real talker, so I have stopped being surprised at what I discover by just being friendly. I met a guy from Elizabeth City, N.C., and because it isn't a very big town I asked him if he had heard of Luther Lassiter. He said "funny you should ask, my father went to grade school with him. If Luther skipped class to go play pool, my dad would say he was home sick and get homework for Luther to make up the missed class." Small world. He said he had photos of Lassiter including one of Wimpy teaching some kids to play pool, and he took down my contact info to send me copies, but it has been a month and I am not holding my breath. Yep, small world.

Doubt he'd say that if he watched a bank pool player or a one pocket player warming up.

What was the name of that guy from Elizabeth City?
