st louie louie vs strawberry

Strawberry was a great OP player and moved very well. I think I would have to move those three balls closest to opponents hole. Two stripes go into the stack and the dark solid (7?) goes cross corner, whilst I stop the CB in place.

This video might be from one of Strawberry's tournaments just outside of Washington DC. He got Eddie Taylor to make a cameo appearance (did not play in the tournament) at one, and Cisero Murphy also made an appearance at one. Those were 1992 and 1993 I believe.

I went to one or both not sure at this point lol. But someone shot amateur video, some of the matches, and also panned the stands quite a bit. There I am up in the stands with my wife and a cup of coffee in my hand. Some things never change

Edit -- maybe this is even earlier at one of Grady's first tournaments in SC

I got a dvd of this in my closet I never watch. You can have it if you want if you pm me your ad and I'll throw it in the mail the next time I go down to the post office, but like Larry said, it's only 10 from ACuST.. so whatever.. In fact I remember doing this exact same WWYD several years ago on here. I just wanted to do one for kicks.. Dr. Bill and Danny D did commentary. There was an incident that took place in this match.. Roberts left Straw on the wrong side of the stack and after missing a carom, Straw inadvertently whacked the cue ball a second time causing three or four object balls to move off to very different locations which should have been loss of game.. Instead Straw just spotted one ball and play continued like nothing.. I thought that was a little amusing thing in that match..

I'd likely come off the right side of the 2nd stripe from Strawberry's hole-- relocating the ball near the hole, while rolling the CB two rails either against the 8 ball, or behind the three frozen balls. Pretty tough for the opponent to do much from there.
