Who became the best the fastest?

[The Woim]

Someone can come close, some even better!

Correct me if I have my facts wrong guys, but this Chinese kid Wu did win the World 9 Ball at 16. That's outstanding, no taking anything away from that.

Didn't Loree Jon win a World Title at 15?

And didn't Jimmy Caras win a world title at 16? That was Straight pool on a 5 x 10 table and not (by comparison) the sloppy slappy wide open target zones game of 9 ball.

I'm gonna get zinged hard if my facts ain't straight!

Blackjack,

I don't think this could be Larry. Even though I don't agree with everthing the Woim says, it is very well written and articulate. I can't see Fast Larry making these posts. Some of the logic, yes, but not the style.

Darryl

Lou Butera told me once that his son Sal started taking it seriously when his dad could spot him the 5 ball. In one year's time Sal beat Earl Strickland at the US Open . This is back in 1990 when Earl was playing JAM up!
Now thats fast

Sal was one of the better players in Los Angeles well before 1990.
