That bit of media probably visited 30,000 eyes. It's not the cause of the sports' decline. It's the nature of the game becoming a lucky break competition. The earlier versions of 9 ball were superior, and the gambling and hustling aspects a crowd pleaser, see POKER. Dimwit!
@@colincolenso I just mean that the media coverage and some of the things that were said drew the attention of law enforcement and killed the Johnston City tournaments
@@nickpatrick7021 I'm familiar with the trope. Clean up the sport and appeal to family friendly blah blah. Trump didn't win by being family friendly and neither was your trope responsible for declining pool popularity. Just sayin' bro. Stop trusting the shit tropes.
@@colincolenso Sir that's not what I said at all hahaha. What trope? The media coverage of the Johnston City tournaments attracted law enforcement attention, which led to the tournament being raided and shut down permanently.
No, there's a pay off between cue speed and the transfer of momentum from cue weight to cue ball. Hard to pinpoint the ultimate weight but likely between 18 and 20 ounces.
The center of weight of the cue is proven to make negligible difference to shot performance other than having enough weight forward to stop the tip levering upwards, which can never happen with normal cues. @@volts2150
I heard this many years ago and it was told by either Soupy Sales or George Carlin. My Mom and I laughed so hard. Great memories and glad to have found this!
I shot this video with a potato and used a turnip for AI video manipulation in early 2007. I used plasticine and stop animation for the body and clothing.
You all like murderers ? . This guy fatman here murdered eddie's girlfriend and destroyed eddie's life too , just to prove that eddie was a scuffler .. ! Although I admire his talent, but character, not too much .. !!
I remember hearing him on the radio as a child. He was ALWAYS entertaining and hilarious. The only other raconteur of great value, like him, was the wonderful Peter Ustinov. I can not think of anyone today with the talents of these two men ........... that isn't to say that they do not exist .......... its just that I can not think of any!
From a great era in British comedy when people knew how to laugh. Perennial "offendees" didn't bother us and nobody gave a damn about them anyway. It's called FREEDOM. Gerard Hoffnung, RIP.
It's a shame the quality of this video hasn't aged well. It's great content. There should be another deep dive video into power break mechanics with what we know now about the break and with better quality visuals.
Thank-you. I have two limited edition LP sets of his recordings, including this one. His cartoons were used by the BBC until the mid-1960's to make children's programmes. And he also did a series of advertisements for Independent Television, which were still being run, years after his demise. My favourite childhood comedian. Such a shame that he died so young. Congestive heart failure led to a brain haemorrhage which killed him in 1959. Look out for his music festivals and his radio interviews, made for the BBC Home Service. His timing, stress and modulation were perfect. I wish that more of our modern comedians would learn lessons from the greats of yesteryear.
