During our Christmas trip up North I got the chance to teach a young kid the very basic moves of 1P. He asked me to play 9ball, but I suggested 1P for something new to him. He said sure, and we had a blast for a couple of hours trying out shots and playing a few games.
Then last night I was transfering some of my older VHS matches to DVD, and came across a 1P match between Bugs and Cornbread I hav'nt watched in about 2 years. While watching I started to REALLY see why these guys were so feared in thier day! I've watched the match before, but that was before I started really studying the game of 1P. I started seeing all the subleties of what they were doing, especially during the end game. I quickly ran to get a pen and paper for some notes It was cool to see things come full circle like that inside of one week, I taught some young dude the begining moves of the game, and I started to see a whole new demention unfold infront of me on a 10 year old Legends match by 2 of the greatest ever.
Just thought I'd share a cool experience with you all.......Gerry
