Talked to a legend in the game today

[deanoc]

Of all the living players of the golden age ,who comes to mind as personifying the essence of the Hustler generation?

Ronnie passed,and Grady and Cole and it brought me to reflecting today when I got a call from Billy Incardona.

My thought is that billy has not only lived the dream, played championship pool,remember mustache Billy,9 ball Billy,and in the later years one pocket Billy ,but has become the very face of pool

Perhaps he will best be remembered for his thoughtful informative,insightful
helpful insights into one pocket,both strategy and overall game strategy

Billy asked me to get him a Bob Owen cue with a 12mm shaft.I asked him if I ought to start playing with 12 mm myself,after a moments thought Billy replied"I don't think so,your game is too (pause),it might result in you losing the cue ball"

Tactful,yet insightful

The funny thing about Billy is that he has been so financially successful that he has been in no need of money,but he still loves the action so he plays for the love of the game.Now he is not so selective and often takes bad games,

Who would have ever thought the same guy would now be Easy Billy

Forgive me,but I thought this might treat you guys to a good smile.

Grady & Ronnie have passed, but I sure hope you are giving the wrong impression about Cole. He's unwell, but still fighting, right?

I really enjoy if Billy Incardona is commenting live streams. It s just great to have such a knowledged person in the booth.

A year ago one of my students had the chance to get in touch with him- and he gave him kind of a lesson for free. He is such a super nice guy and one thing is for sure: No matter what about pool...it s Billy s passion!
