Used to watch Jimmy play at Westend billiards in Elizabeth New Jersey. Class act

At 4:12 you can see a young Cory deuel is sitting right next to them.

Many of us think that the super-tight pockets, and pocket angles and deep pocket shelves of the modern Diamond tables to have spoiled the game for the average person who plays for entertainment and socializing. It's not fun go out with friends who seldom play pool to have a few beers and goof around, and discover that no one can make two balls in a row because the Diamond tables are too hard on beginner players. The pockets are not only narrow in width of the throat, but also tight in the rail rebound angles. The deep shelves prevent any shots from going unless hit nearly perfect. In the great heyday of pool, in the days when Mosconi ran 500+balls and only stopped shooting because no one was paying him for his extra hours at the table, until about the eighties every pool hall had Brunswick or similar tables with 4.5 inch or larger corner pocket openings, and beginners could enjoy playing league 8-ball on 8-foot tables, or on 7-foot bar tables, and not be frustrated because the balls rimmed away from the hole time after time. I had my own table pockets tightened, but not too much, just enough to force me into adopting a bit more accuracy. But to play on a 9 or 10 foot Diamond with pro-cut pockets is very difficult for ordinary people who are not full-time players. If covid ever allows pool halls to thrive again, I would recommend to have only a couple of Diamonds, for the gamblers to play on, and the rest Brunswicks, Olhausens, or any well-made brand fitted with old-style forgiving pockets at least 4.5 inches wide at the throat. I could be wrong about the Diamond 7-foot coin-op tables since I haven't played on one, out here in the boondocks. If those pockets are not cut extremely difficult I would easily choose Diamond for the coin op tables, due to their easy setup and leveling with one-piece slate, and better cue ball return technology.

You dont sound to bright Ron Cereli The Legend. These commentators are the nuts.

Nobody is trying to claim that Grady or Billy Incardona were elite level world class pros... Also not the fault of the old time Americans that they were in their 50s and 60s nad 70s by the time the Europe figured the game out

Gosh, I guess Shannon, Nick, and a host of others never really existed. Or you are nothing but a Eurotrash Troll.

@@daffydlwellen1270 On American soil yes, otherwise not really. Even Shane just not so long ago started being dominant outside of the US. That is because the US is a pool gold mine. So, nothing bad towards it, just the facts. I love American pool.

lol Reyes never beat Buddy Hall for money and admired Mike Siegel of all players, just an example taken from the horse's mouth...

​@@raskolnjikov1that's not true at all.. Shane just didn't play alot of tournaments outside of America until recently.

why dont u have some respect one of these announcers is one of the best pool players thats ever been so why dont u hit mute or just quit whinning and u might learn something moron

@@tgh223 Can't you read? He said he muted the sound. I did that, too. And I've played with Incardona and have nothing but the greatest respect for the guy as a player and as a human being. But you can't learn something from the players actual play when the commenters are cluttering up the game with their constant drivel about Options A - Z on every shot. Even worse, the player has already played the seven while they are both still evaluating the correctness of shooting the three, and then they wake up and say Oh yeh lookie there he shot at the seven... They act like they are talking to people who have never played 1P or even pool ever before. It doesn't matter how good a person plays pool when it comes to being a commenter; you gotta know when to speak up and when to shut up. Neither of these guys know when to shut up. But then again, if Incardona was announcing, it would be just as bad since he doesn't know when to shut up either when he announces. This is honest criticism, not meant to disparage the great career of Billy or these announcers either. I just like to have them provide some color commentary and the odd insights, not describe every possible move on every shot. When they talk so much that people mute the sound, they are failing at their job. But if you need someone to explain every move to you, I guess you need this type of annoying running commentary. Most of us find so much detail on every shot to be annoying and interfering with our enjoyment of the game. Half the fun is figuring out for yourself what they will shoot, not having someone make a stream of never-ending talk all through the match. It just makes me want to holler Hey will you guys please shut up for even one second?

How about YOU post a video of YOUR banking skills?

Both are legends and they could Bank better than they did in this match. Grady passed away and Billy still can bank real good.
