Jack visited Texas A&M around 1988. He did a great show in front of a big crowd, then did challenge games. I had won a few bar tournaments in high school and was respectfully in the front row with my nice Helmstetter cue (which I still play with). I felt I was a hot shot but was very nervous with both Jack talking away and the crowd. He gave me chances and at one point leaned over and whispered “you’re a good shot but you need to learn cue ball control”. The statement was a shock but I later realized he was right. I kept practicing drills and improved.
Somewhere, I still have an autographed copy of his book "Come Let Us To Billiards Away." Jack was a great showman and I had the honor, after winning a tournament at my college, to play an exhibition match against him. He deliberately left me opportunities to shoot 'TV shots' where the only opportunity for me to make a ball was a 3 rail hit, three rail bank, etc. Then, after I actually cashed a couple of the show shots, he whispered to me "That's it." And I made one more appearance at the table over 6 games of 8 ball. LOL. Loved the guy and his over-the-top persona. Don't let the iffy production value of this video suggest he was not a world class shooter or that he could not teach the game. He was a phenomenal talent.
I played against Jack White at Roanke College in the late 70's while attending Roanke. I ran the table on him and was on the 8 ball. He climbed inside my head and I choked :) He was great, all his gator shoes and all the antics.
I was there also. Craig Everett
He came to NTSU while I was in college from 82 to 87. He would come for a week and run a tournament there. Started and/or ended with a very entertaining trick shot show. One trick I remember was that he would take an object ball in his hand and spin it in place on the table. Then quickly put the cue ball behind the spinning ball and shoot the spinning ball to the far end rail and the ball would bank directly into the side pocket. Just spinning the ball was hard.
I had his book at one time, but I loaned it to someone and never got it back. I've seen them online but they are expensive. If anyone has a copy at a reasonable price I would buy it.
I also remember how he would flirt with the girls and get them to kiss him on his cheek, but as they leaned in to kiss he would turn toward them and get a quick kiss on the lips. It was harmless fun. He seemed to be a very devoted family man. I went back and saw him the 3-4 years after I graduated and he always remembered me.
I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Mr. White several times during his tours of DoD facilities in the 1980s. He always remembered my name and he always took it easy on me. He was a big teddy bear of a guy. Rest in peace, Pittsburgh Jack.
Jack came to Texas Tech in the early '90's to show case his trick shots. Some of them were illegal, but he did it so fast that your eyes cannot catch him. He would randomly pick out some one from the spectators and play a game. He would mess around and let you think you are winning, he then would run the table on you and tell you that you stink. Jack was the greatest pool player I had ever seen in real life - a legend!
In 1972 Jack came to Fort Riley in Kansas and put on his usual compliment of trick shots. He singled me out for a game of 9 ball. I almost ran the table as I played a lot. He was sweating
a lot and knew he had to run the table when he came to the table..and he did. Great guy!
I'm only 33 but have been following pool since I was a kid. My dad's a player also and has told me stories about these older players. It's awesome to get to see them do there thing! Thanks for the upload
At the time, I was 8 years old and barely able to see over the edge of the table. Mr. White came to Travis AFB to do a show. I was the only kid in the pool hall and he asked me to hold his cue to do a very difficult trick shot. He said I would bring him good luck. Well sure enough he made the shot and the audience roared with enthusiasm. He made me feel like a hero and I got all choked up. The problem was that I wasn't choked up because of the shot, it was because I had a heck of a sore throat. Well anyway, rest in peace Mr. White. The memory of you brings a smile and I thank you for that.
I also played 'against" Jack at Central Washington State College (Now CWU) back in 1975.
He was so funny and warm and a genuine character!
I saw him again at Highline Community College in Des Moines, WA in the 80's.
I really enjoyed this. May God welcome you into his kingdom with open arms Jack. Rest in peace.
His visit to Cal State Univ. Long Beach and being able to play "against" him, are among my most treasured memories. God bless Jack White, may you rest in peace.
I "played" pool with Jack White following his trick shot show, when I was a student at DePaul. His quick, acerbic wit belied a pretty cool guy who warmly shook hands with me and thanked me for playing after I lost miserably (of course). Well, he did let me get two shots in. Great guy!
Got to play with him back in early 70s, while stationed at Hurlburt Fld, FL. Great moment!
His book was my pool Bible
To this day no one has been more specific.
Man he used to come to James Madison University back in the mid 80s. I loved to watch him. He would pick on the star athletes who would show up and they loved the attention and we regular folks loved his jokes and great skill. One of my favorites was when he asked a student to play him (in last pocket) and then when they would start to break Jack would yell out loudly "if this guy beats me, everyone in this room gets $100!" That was a lot of money back then and the student player would start to sweat. Lol great times.
RIP Jack White,
Jack did the same shit to me back at Texas Tech when he picked me out from the crowd - $100 for everybody if I won. He broke first and snookered me the whole damn game. I got so frustrated that my ears turned red.
I finally pocketed 2 balls in a roll and miscued on the next shot because I forgot to chalk. Jack looked at me and said: "Son, game's over," and proceeded to run the table with some amazing shots to gain perfect cue ball placement!
@@tonyanderson5123 once he was actually helping one of his opponents and the guy managed to win. There were only about 12 or so people left in the room and he peels off a role of fake 100s! 🤣🤣🤣
@@marshallhughes4514 Yes! Now I remember that the bills had his picture on them.
In 1975, he came to U.S.U. ,in Logan Utah. I was very entertained watching him do his majic on the pool table. U.S.U. got pretty good attention back then, both President Ford's sons were attending there at that time. A great and nice guy and is likely no longer alive in 2019.
A friend of mine took me to go see Jack at University of Dayton in the late 80s he was putting on a exhibition .
He said he would buy any one a car if they could beat him no one did and I was to shy to try . But I enjoyed watching him.
I saw jack in 87 or 88 when he came to the Naval Training Center in Great Lakes Illinois.
Real calm and well talked thru the shots, will like to see more videos of him, if available👍
Jack came to UNT in the early 2000s. He called on me to play against him 8-ball and said he would pay me $1000 if I beat him. I ran the rack and said where's my $1000 and he said, well you have to let me have a chance. He then proceeded to beat me at the next two games. He was an exceptional player.
i love these videos. Thank you for uploading
Great! You're very welcome :)
Back in 94 or 95, Mr. White had a demonstration in our student union. After his demo, he invited different players to play him. I was lucky enough to be one of those players. You can tell he was just playing with everyone. When it came to take my turn, bunch of people started cheering because I was finally getting my shot. Back then, I was one of the best players amongst us there who played in the union. I felt confident that I could make a little noise against him. He lined up to break and then stood back up. He looked at me and said loudly for everyone to hear, "Sorry, but I'm going to have to do this to you! I have to make you the example!" He lined back up, broke, and then preceded to run the rack. I was the only he did that too. Everyone else had at least a shot. I was dejected. 😥 😆🤣
Jack was a great guy. Loved when he came to our school.
Awesome video!
Jack put on a exhibition at malmstrom afb in 73 that I was lucky enough to watch, and this inspired me to get better and better, to the point of winning a total of 17 Air Force Base, base championships from air force bases in montana (where I saw the exhibition) then in anchorage, then many local tournaments from states I lived in thereafter incl. 5th in texas state championship...all inspired because of his exhibition in great falls montana.
I found my new ringtone 🎶
Thanks Max... I llke your book... thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿
Thanks Max
He came to my college for an exhibition in the 90s. Great guy.
Same here Mark! 90-94 at JMU for me... he said a few things to really help me win the ACU-I Nationals in 1993 and 94'
If that video wasn't created in the 70s I'll my hat. Luckily I don't own a hat. There's a certain braggadocious charm to Mr. White in this video. From that professorial gown and hat he's wearing at the beginning of the video to him saying, "it's great being great" right after he makes a shot. hehe
Wow, all i can say is just wow 😳
I didn't know you and Jack were close. I bought his book in 1993 for, I believe it was $30 back then? It has been my bible since then. Tired to practice his fundamental teachings religiously. I remember watching you play other champions at Hard Times Bellflower, and now that I think of it, you really incorporated a lot of those same principles in your game. I really wish I had met him in person while I lived out in Palm Springs for a year. Actually drove to his house to say hi, but he was on the road. The game has lost a true legend. I hope you can carry on some of what he did. Your about due to break through and snap off a big one in Vegas Max!
Your old acquaintance
Roger
Gamblo Duck Thank you Roger🙏😎👊
He same to the student union at USM in either 85 or 86 I was picked out of the crowd to play him. We played 8 ball and had to bank the eight. He was not happy when I beat him lol.
Never seen this one before. He cheats at 12:10 on the discipline shot! Lol. Thanks for the video Max.
Lol I did notice that, pretty funny!
That old big cue ball. Dave Matlock style
If you are like me and the slow motion replays are still just too fast, you can slow them down by holding shift and press < a few times ;)
i used to do the drill number 4 without hand placing the cue ball, thats control :)
The cue ball in this video appears to be the same size ball I used for about the first 10 years of my pool playing "career". I used to wow the crowds ( one or two people if I was lucky) by drawing that gargantuan cue ball from one end of the table to the other and then another half a table in length. 8 ft table. And I could jump that colossal white ball over other balls as well. No jump cues had been invented yet as far as I know so I used my own cue for jumping. At least I never saw anyone play with or use a jump cue until years later.I still can't believe I played pool with that size of a cue ball. It seems like a dream almost.
Side note: A lot of hustlers acted with over the top bluster and bombastic non stop crowing similar to Jack here. They know it gets under peoples' skin, or in layman's terms, it pisses them off, and they are more likely to to try to shut them up by playing and hopefully beating them. Hence it puts more money in their pockets. It's learned behavior that works a good percentage of the time.
The old time guys represented the game with class not seen today in the sense that they all were clean cut, always freshly shaven, and most of the time they wore suits when they played. Heck, even the audience dressed up in their Sunday Best threads.
Thank you for postin videos i like your long videos. You should go on Joe Rogan poodcast in 1000 podcast he has never had a pro pool player on. Your friends
Ever heard of hall of famer Irving Crane. World Championship and he has a upright stance.
the best teacher is practice.
So sad that billiards is a dying sport like bowling. Its requires finesse and precision like no other sport out there. Period. Thanks for these videos Max! Would be cool to have an outdoor pool hall. Thats the only thing thats missing in billiards.
But what's that song? Shazam doesn't know
Nothin' to it, it's great when you're great.. LMAO
Miika that's his signature line👍😄
I remember when he came to the University of Georgia back in the 1970's. He did a ton of trick shots, and flirted with all the young girls. I still remember his line to one exceptionally fine looking young lady, "My compliments to your parents."
Wayne Harrison hahaha that’s sooo Jack to say that. He was full of innuendo lol.😂
@@MaxEberle Max, I learned my trick shots from Jack when I was a young troop in the Air Force, stationed at Reese Air Force base, Texas. I would book him to perform at the Recreation Center, where I worked. I got to watch him perform every year from 1973-1980, till I was assigned to California.
Do you have any other videos of him? Did you see him perform the shot using the side of the cue (45 degree angle to the rail), to run the ball down the rail, five rails, knocking the 8-ball into the top right corner (it was pre-positioned directly in front of the pocket).
Or the handkerchief covered balls, and someone telling him what pocket?
Thanks.
*also when and where did he die?
Thanks again.
Having a birds eye view you can stroke better and see the angles better. The chin scrapers came along in the sevenities and they are champions but they probably would play better with a more upright stance. Willie Mosconi was no chin scraper
14:39 It's easy!!
Probably the best line in the video!
A 147 in Ottawa Canada............Ill definitely have to check in with Jimmy Wych on that one. No disrespect but that is extremely hard to believe.
He came to my school and I didn’t know who he was. Walked up and said “Hey blood, I’ll play you for $10,000!” My friend and I looked at each other like “Who is this guy?” I said “Ok.”
He goes in his pocket and pulls out a wad of $100 bills and puts it on the edge of the table. I say “Let me grab a rack” He grabs all of the pool balls and racks with his hands in one motion (more solid than I can with a rack) i ran the table until the 8 ball, he comes up and starts rubbing on my back (pause) I miss and he runs the table completely, says “Thanks blood” grabs the money and walks away. My friend and I look at each other like “WTF just happened?”
Aka jack o diamonds
If an open bridge is never correct why is it used so often, for various shots, by so many pros?
it's american bullshit, most of the pro's use open bridge 90 percent of the time.
Jim Pack lol right
Maybe he's just trying to get people to try the closed bridge... but yeah to say it's incorrect is pretty funny. Jack was one of a kind that's for sure!
Probably because this is a video intended for beginners more than pros.
closed bridge produces stroke with less effort
Jack White made a 147?
LMAO 12:09 doesn't bother shooting with the cue ball...
good drill anyway though :) i like the "make the walk yourself" comment
Connor Phares p
Pool is really not that easy 🎃🎃🎃
Hah! He's almost as big as that 7 ft pool table in the video. Of course "it's easy" on such a miniature kiddie table. But it's clear the man had passion for the game and I respect that.
I could not disagree more about the open bridge. I've seen many WORLD CLASS shooters who use an open bridge
A true lesson from an old school player. Meaning, show off a bit and never teach you a thing
147 in snooker? Really?
5 minutes of tips with 15 minutes of bs slow motion for no reason at all.
Haha classic isn’t it!!
They dont make em like they used to
He wasn't very good at playing pool. Was he a grifter like Fats?
