Of all the greats who had whitey ''on a string''?
Was is Ed Kelly?

Don was a little before my time, but the word from the players was that he handled the cue ball better than any one. I watched him play a few times at the Stardust, he played slow and colorless and I got bored watching so I left. Goes to show ya when you're young and dumb how much you really miss.One of the older guys that I marveled at was Don Watson.
Rod.
Well, he's not one of the greats at One Pocket, like he was at 9ball...but Cecil 'Buddy' Hall's cueball - was: 'poetry in motion'..

OH REALLY, ???....And how many times did YOU play Ed..? (tournament or Hi $$$ Gambling)
Never mind...your tender age, supercedes your "KNOWITALLISHNESS" <--New word I invented to describe MOST Chicagoan's..p
PS..Had to do it out of necessity, as I am not allowed to say "Th*n Sk**ned" or "Br*gg*rt" anymore.. (as it upsets d*lic*te feeler's)...
This could be RBL, Ghoatsy or Beardo...

I played him a couple of times. The second time was to make sure if what I saw the first time wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. It seemed like he was always on the correct side of the ball. I would rate him in the top five.
Of the players I have played .
[BOLD]Don Watson moved the cue ball the least.[/BOLD]
Toby Sweet moved it the most precisely.
Hall made it look easy.
Miz always got the best result.

I never saw Watson play one pocket but he was around Southern Cal for a while and [BOLD]nobody ever made playing pool look easier.[/BOLD]
Buddy played better one pocket than he gets credit for. Maybe because his nine ball was so good.
I believe he won a one pocket tournament or two against the big boys along the line.
Put me down as another in agreement about Buddy. Once he started really trying to develop his 1P game, he got himself into the top echelon for several years. It would be hard to think of a single top player he didn't beat at least once during that 4-5 year span.
