Podcast Questions for Accu-Stats' Pat Fleming

How old was Pat Fleming when started playing, and what about pool made him advance his game to the pro level, which was before the days of Accu-Stats?

Also, thank him for the royalty checks he handed out to players, a percentage of the Accu-Stats sales. He didn't have to, considering the expenses to record various events around the country, but he did.
 
1. What he enjoys most about the modern game?
2. What he misses most about the vintage game (e.g., the 14.1 to 9 ball transition era)?

I asked him about the top selling videos a while ago and he said they are the Z-Shot and Sigel's 150 against Zuglan. I recall he said that the top selling videos primarily featured Efren (with a few exceptions) regardless of "legendary status," and that, basically, Efren is what sold the videos.
 
Pat was playing a match in Florida against Nick Varner. Pat choose to give up the break every time he won the game. Why? It was close by the way, Pat only lost 11 to 9.
