I've got a videotape of Mike Sigel from the late '80s (I think), and when he breaks, his shaft does the same thing as Coy's in the picture. The cue-ball then jumps up in the air and stops dead in the middle of the table.
That picture of Gabe is really great. It looks as if it was snapped immediately after he pocketed the game-winning ball for the championship, and in his eyes, he's still digesting that he actually won the U.S. Open. Talk about a Kodak moment!
