Pathe' clip of Joe Davis

[Bob Jewett]

There are a lot of snooker and billiards clips on this site. Here is one of Joe Davis showing, among other things, how to properly shoot a jump shot to get out of a snooker. http://www.britishpathe.com/video/snooker-snippets-joe-davies
Note that the ignorant indexer calls him "Joe Davies".

The first book I read on billiards was Complete Snooker by Joe Davis.
His style still looks good enough to me to win a world title.
He was in his middle twenties in this video...but looks incredibly mature...
..which is fitting for the father of professional snooker.
