Toby Sweet

[Gilbertfan81]

I have a great question as he played well before my time. Toby was regarded as one of the best if not the best roll out players of all time especially gambling. Does anyone have any stories of him in his prime? I would love to know how he and say Buddy or Jose Parica matched up. I have heard stories that in the late 60’s, early 70’s he have Buddy the 8? How strong is that!

all three played about the same. so who was on that day or on his own table would tend to win.

the person who played shoot out the best was eddie taylor by far. but he was older than those guys and not quite as good at pocketing as them.

'MAYBE' real young Buddy but not 'prime' Buddy. Toby couldn't beat him much less give him anything. Parica would have torched him. Toby was really good but you're talking about two of the best that ever put a cue together. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/how-good-was-toby-sweet-and-does-anyone-have-stories.139247/
