Niels has got one very bad eye. Therefor he puts his que below his good eye. For most people that is just not done. But Niels practiced with it until he had the skill to compensate for the lost of his eye sight and practiced some more to become the player he is now. I have never seen anyone practice as hard as Niels does. All this hard work is now paying out!!
He skill to run racks is known all over the world. Against my teammate Don du Bois he shot 15 racks in a row. And a year ago he played a money game 10 ahead and he shot 5 racks, the other guy shot 2 and Niels shot 7 and out.
But not only with nine-ball but also with straightpool he likes to run a couple of racks. He has won the European straightpool title 3 consecutive years, 2002, 2003, 2004.
Hope he brings back the Mosconi cup and somewere in the future the WPC!!
