Watching last night's 1p match reminded me of a conversation had with JJ killing time as we watched what seemed like never ending white lines pass down the highway 4 or 5 years ago. One of the great perks of the job was being able to listen to great players express their thoughts on the game in an unedited personal setting. After seeing alot of players getting beat nearly to death with questions about shots, strategies, players of yester year, and other pool related subjects nearly everyday at tourneys and spots I would try to give them a break from pool and not mention it unless brought up by them. Jeremy brought up his mentor Jersey Red. As we chuckled about one liners once said by Jack and what a character he was Jeremy began to unleash some one pocket gems taught to him by Jersey Red. He said Jack had five main rules or principals he tried to follow every shot. Not like the typical move balls uptable when ahead, leave em on the rail kind of stuff but more advanced. One of the five rules was when moving a ball(s) to your hole or protecting a ball in your hole always leave them pinned to the center diamond of the top rail because that angle produces the most double kisses and awkward removal scenarios. JJ then confided that he really didnt remember Jacks 5 in-depth rules of the game or shot. Would love some input if anyone else knew Jack, his rules, and his approach to the game. Thanks
