My father was taken to see an exhibition by Walter Lindrum. Lindrum worked the balls all round the table by nursery cannons- my father said that the only way you knew they were moving was to close your eyes and re open them after a couple of shots at which point you realised that they had slightly moved. Lindrum looked up after a while and asked whether the crowd had enough, crashed the balls around the table and when they came to rest they were back where he had started! Thank you for the post.
words can't describe how great this is to watch!!!
It's interesting that they figured out how to do it. Try it sometime, it's not so easy.
genius
Why didn't someone get the referee OUT OF THE WAY!!!!
Walter just brilliant
dazza91000, they changed the ruling of billiards to include hazards to ake the game more dificult for all players. This included the hazard rules. you could only pot the red twice off the spot before it going to the middle, unless you included a cannon etc (ie as in the video) also you could not continously score of the red alone for more than 15 times and could only play a cannon consecutively no ore than 25 times. hope this helps
Higgins type of player but before ...? They say Tom Numan was similar?
A very skilled player but he and Davis killed off billiards because who wants to watch nursery cannons for hours?. Thank god snooker rose from those ashes.
I will add to that NOT because I want a "last word", but because you haven't addressed my point ... that billiards "died" because it was so incredibly boring to watch ... and all I was really doing was stressing that ... albeit perhaps, with a juvenile joke at the end?
Actually, I was a very good billiards and snooker player in my youth and early adulthood. I even have my own pool table, so I do know the skill involved ... but that doesn't alter the fact that billiards is boring and died.
You cannot deny my point because the authorities recognised this and changed the rules to limit the number of such sequences.
No .... many things in life are skilful, but poor to watch too.
Fifteen reds and fifteen colours is going the same way.
It's a bit boring to watch I agree but certainly not to play as it's so skillful and you need a delicate touch. Snooker has been made boring now with the super fast cloths making the game too easy
@@paulbennett4009 did you just say snooker is to easy ?
I did, and I felt there was no "mystery", that's why I find it boring.
It doesn't require the cueing precision of snooker, nor does it have the variety of pool. It requires a mastery of the half ball "loser" and a deft touch when the ball are maneuvered close together. Rarely does one think "I wonder how he did that?"
The options to score are immense in billiards. I believe a modern player who devoted himself to billiards would tame the game. RIP Billiards;)
All IMO, of course:)
