I am especially impressed with his ability to keep the balls mostly in the lower half of the table. .......

i'm impressed that he can watch TV and run 84 balls at the same time.
That's a good praise. Every top straight pool player looks like that at the table. But behind what looks easy is a lot of decision making and execution. Proper thinking multiplied by perfect stroke (which even John himself Schmidt is occasionally jealous ofHe does not seem to even think much about it, kind of plays by instinct.
take a look at this postI'm curious what the pocket spread on his table is.
a "would have been an 80" if he hadn't missed at 31.
he referred to it as a "Sascha 80" so I knew at once what he meant.
I had a "Sascha 105" the other day... I missed at 57 - swiped the 6 ball off the table, and then I ran 48 more. I proudly gazed over at my two dachshunds... from under the table they were staring at me in awe of what they had just witnessed... I took a deep breath, sighed, and finally said... "There... a 105 finally played the way it should be."
Haven't had time to watch this one yet, but I guess I can add it to my giant video collection that I have stored in a folder that is appropriately named "Things Billy Does Right".
