Mosconi vs Cranfield & Balsis vs Crane Videos Up Now!

Thanks for those great uploads, Lenny.

I was very intrigued to examine the actual mechanics behind Mosconi’s demonstration of the deliberately complex-appearing wrap-around shot he originally set up for Gleason to shoot in 1961’s “The Hustler” (as seen in the closing moments of the Mosconi-Cranfield match beginning at this exact point) . . .

. . . so with Lenny’s indulgence, here’s a 90-second excerpt of the shot: first at normal speed, then easily examine-able as seen at 1-16th slo-mo speed:

(Be sure to also notice Minnesota Fats in the background deliberately grab his own cue and walk directly past the kitchen end of the table squarely in Willie's line of sight. What a compulsively hammy pr..k!)

Why is it that you have this urge to bash Fats? Where does it get you??????????????????? I could of easily said the same thing when....Steve Mizerak didn't show for our match, only to find out later that he was still on the winners side and we had our ''called match'' rescheduled a second time?
