Mr. Lassiter lived in Elizabeth City, N.C. He frequented City Billiards with paperback novels and sat in his chair reading most of the day. He was a fine guy an well respected by all !
If anyone is wondering, this took place in 1983
Thanks for the upload !
Wimpy's left duke bridge looks like mine!!!! lol. THe FIST!
@14:07 I never seen someone have a hand bridge like that before.
Richard's World Traveler same!!! D:
Me neither
Patented tactical draw bridge.
its in his book, he recommends learning it for opposite hand shots. It works.
Hopkins talked about playing in a T shirt and tennis shoes with no thought about how the sport is presented The old guys had class and knew that people did not want to pay to see a bunch of slobs. Look where this sport of Kings is now !
I have no interest in what the players are wearing. Not why I watch or play, If anything the outfits should be inexpensive so more people can play.
15:00 What kind of bridge is that?
Puckett was the best most consistent player in the event. A true Road Man!
Why does the ref call out the pockets?
At 14:07,wtf was that bridge?
lassiter learned it from my 7 year old nephew. very effective.
The Bests in the world? Until a wizard named 'Cezar Morales' from the Philippines came over in the US of A.
Reyes actually ran racks.
Harold may have been, but was taken from us far too soon.
Back when ESPN was worth a dam, now it’s a bunch of sports talk.
BS. It's a bunch of DEI cry babies LECTURING you.
Pool players back then didn't shoot good,,wonder why their wasn't any really good run out players back then,,
These guys are OLD here ... Lassiter: born in 1918..!! (74)
Pucket in 1911 (82) !!! To assume they didn't play good well..?
They're legends. You don't, nor ever will play as well as they did.
@@trumanhw i agree.
Luther...chewing his cud...distracting. Wonder if he ever bites his tongue? Equally amazing player!
I believe those were either antacids or anxiety pills.
@@iejcwejheiowcnlwekn Nah. It's dip.
It's probably tardive dyskinsia.
That's who Wimpy always reminded me of...captain mckluskey from the godfather
Thanks, that was great.
Thanks for the comment Brad and thanks for watching friend.
willie mosconi numero 1
I will totally have to get the chanel on my roku :D
Dirk Diggler cool let us know how it works
I do not think Hopkins interpreted the shot Whimpy was doing at 33:00. To me it looks like he was banking the ball to carom at knock the ball on the end into the corner. The corner ball makes the pocket bigger. The stance was wrong to hit the combo on the 9. Isn't nine ball about doing two things at once?
They talk about how great Wimpy is, and then you see him play, and he was not that good. I think a good 6 handicap in APA would have beat him at that age. He barely made a ball in either match. And yes I understand how old he is, but UJ is about the same age and he played pretty good. I know 7 handicaps in APA that would crush either one of these guys, including myself. And I am 63 years old.
What a stupid comment. Puckett could string racks of nine ball all day long. That was on a big table for big money. He was 76 years old in this national tv broad cast. A 6 ft. APA valley table. Please!
some age well & some don't. is that so hard to understand.
I think this series may have made people think that pool was an old man's game, so young people didn't take it up and Europe keeps winning the Mosconi Cup.
You can't beat a bit of old skool pool!
I reckon I could beat UJ Picket at Pool! He's not a bad player tho!!
