Willie Mosconi - Using BHE?

My vote would be no. He's striking center ball and twists his cue after contact. He might even be turning his cue "through the center" but I wouldn't say it's bhe. Anyone else?

Check out the youtube video that FATBOY referenced and tell me if Willie used back hand English at 2:37 on the film.
Mosconi and Caras straight pool match.

Hey Joey, I don't think he is. He may have been trying to swipe, which is a variation of BHE, but it would've been after contact so while he may have been subconsciously aware of what BHE was I don't think he was purposely trying to utilize it.

I think it's a variation of BHE, with a bit of added swoop thrown in there for good measure. In the first part of that clip, on more than one occasion he clearly uses that stroke variation to impart definite english on the object ball.
