thank you
I don`t know how Hopkins ever won at 9 ball with his stroke. I know that he did.
Pretty sure this is it. Which is a take off an old reverse English 4 railer we used to play with in the 90's.

Hopkins played 9 ball in a very different era than today or even than 20 years ago. Even though he appeared to have a pokey stroke, he did get the cue tip straight through the cue ball, and that, in the end, is all that matters. Some of the greatest baseball pitchers in history "short armed" in their pitch delivery, they did not look classic at all in their form.
Yes there are mechanics in every sport that are considered "correct" and more consistent; but there is always the exception to that teaching who stands out just because it worked for them- Hopkins was an example of that in pool.
Totally legal stroke.
Allen had no room to stroke the cue in on the table he learned to play on because of the walls around it, so he compensated by learning how to put power and follow through stroke on a 2" drawback stroke. When he was up in Washington state many years back he played in a tournament of champions out at Ocean Shores, WA. Cole Dixon and Steve Miz were teasing Allen about his stroke and how he couldn't get any back spin on the cue ball. Allen challenged them both to see who could draw the cue ball back the furthest, Allen collected from them both and they never made fun of his stroke and poke again
Why is monkey racist? It's common name among me and my friends as to when one
of us are clowning around. No different than calling each other a clown, bird-brain, knucklehead, or any other silly name.
And BTW, I'm no fan of nor am I sticking up for RKC.
Ask Howard Cosell...
And that was many years ago, not related to current "woke-ness", however you feel about that phenomenon
I don't think Howard Cosell had any racist intent when he said it. I think it was an honest mistake trying to make a clever statement based on Art Monk's name. If he thought it was remotely racist he never would have said it.
Give an example of the context in which it was used, or shut up with your bullshit!
Howard Cosell racist? With Ali and so many black athletes in his era requesting his commentary, someones out of their mind!!!
