Weird things players do .....

I've shot like that. It's actually quite an effective bridge. It has the strangest effect on opponents -- it makes them want to double the bet.

Pffft! I get 'em to do that just by showing up.

You're a weird guy Bob, but lovable.

Lassiter had a very strange way of shooting a left handed shot. I wonder if it's on video anywhere. This comment made me think of it. He would place his right hand upside down (back of the hand) in a fist on the table. He would then make a little circle with his thumb and index finger and shoot through that. That was his bridge. I never saw anyone else shoot like that.

When I'm feeling down , I like to watch Honest John ( W C Fields) go through his warm up on the table, putting the chalk in his mouth in place of a cigar and end to end jam the QB to hit him in the forehead.

There used to be a guy named Mel who opened Jimmy and Dorothy Wise’s Sequoia Billiards in Redwood City. When things were slow as they usually were in the morning hours he would throw the balls out on the table and shoot a few. I say ‘shoot’ if that’s the correct word. When he would ‘shoot’ it was like he just received an electric shock in his body and that’s how he would move the cue ball with his cue stick. No back and forth pre-stroke, just a big jolt that thrust his body forward and that’s how he shot the ball. Strange to say the least, needless to say he didn’t pocket many balls at the table.
