      @@aloysiusvo318 the BEST would have been Eddie "The Knoxville Bear" Taylor, or any black bank pool player, particularly from Chicago. Problem is Eddie was active before there were cameras everywhere, and he passed away some time ago. There's a video of Taylor giving pool stories, showing bank skills and how to bank video on CZcams. As for black bank pool players, maybe start with Bugs Rucker. Thing is, black players play more bank pool and one pocket than whites or any other race for that matter. Some say (Kid Delicious book) it had to do with how back in the day you paid by the rack and a guy who worked for the pool hall racked for you. Well one pocket is the longest lasting game of Pool, banks are the main type of shot, and that's what black players played to extend the time of each rack. A single rack of one pocket can go for hours with high level players with exceptional safety skills.

    Two of today's greats in action. Billy is the best to watch because he runs and guns so fast and very accurately. If his range continues to improve with just a little more seasoning and experience, he will become one of the bests of all time. Certainly in bank pool. That and Honolulu (banks, kicks, caroms, and combinations-no straight linear shots) are among the most beautiful in pool and my favorites to play and watch.

    • @myblacklab7
      @myblacklab7 Před 2 lety

      I didn't know Honolulu pool was a thing, but I made up a game almost identical to it that I play by myself sometimes.
      The only problem with Honolulu that I can see from reading the rules is that you put balls back on the table, and keep score, both of which are problems when playing on a bar table. Is there "Honolulu 8 ball" or "Honolulu 9 ball"? I could see it working for 8 ball, if you just eliminate the 8 ball requirement to hit your own ball first.

    Finally a pool tournament that isn't just pros clearing table after table with perfect position play.
    Professional pool would be so much more interesting, if they implemented rules to make the game harder, so that virtuosos could win against one-trick ponies, and so there would always be some drama about who might win. Even this game seems to have rules to make the game easier - I'd prefer it if they had to deal with extremely difficult shots and positions.
