Remembering Buddy Hall

[Duane Remick]

He practiced ALL THE TIME.

A few years back, A gentleman from Louisiana,
was working part-time in Tulsa in the oil or gas business, a Good 1 P player, would come to Magoos on the weekends to play-
Told me He used watch Buddy practice by himself -shoot all day....sometime just 1 particular shot over and over for hours,
Jeremy Jones said He was watching Buddy on a shot-shooting left-handed, shooting so well thought Buddy was left-handed

 

[hello]

Interestingly enough, Pat Fleming told me he stopped practicing in the later part of his career...do you know what he was working on in practice or was it more playing a lot..?

Buddy lived in tulsa a few times over the years. When i first met him in 80ish he would toss balls on the snooker table and run out from everywhere. Never saw him do drills per se, he'd usually get warmed-up then matched-up. I don't think he wanted waste good shoots for free. If you wanted to hit balls with him you had to bet something. One time he told this local cat, " I don't have much fun playing for fun."

 

[hello]

Did he use a pool or snooker cue..?

Buddy said commentating that Efren once was looking for someone to gamble with playing left-handed and when someone pointed to him Bata went '' No! No! ''
