The best 9-ball player I ever saw play in person. Could really control the rock.

He sure battled weight issues as he got older. Just like Mizerak.

RIP Buddy Hall. Good person and one of the best pool players of all-time.

I need to try it. I think I caught the first 10 minutes and wasn't crazy about it.

There's a film/documentary coming out about the pool scene in Texas in the gambling days. Tons of interviews with a lot of the greats and crazy stories. Really looking forward to that.

Met him at Greenway Billiards during a tournament.

Also knew Danny Jones. 9 ball and snooker champ that used to come to Greenway Billiards as well. I have 2 of his signature sneaky petes out of a hundred that were produced.
