This video of Willie Mosconi was produced by Michael Milkovich in the early '80s. It is the only actual How-To Video Willie ever made.The entire video is 50 minutes long and showcases the Master in every possible way. - Навчання та стиль
My father used to hustle pool on the Lower East Side and he played Mosconi once. Of course he didn’t play much because Willie just ran the table on him. But it was an honor, my father said, to get to play him and lose. The man was the greatest.
People write that they have better methods and press thumbs down here, not realizing that Mosconi was the greatest pocket billiard player ever. To put it into perspective, he has run more than twice the most that Effren Reyes ever has. He once ran 526 straight in a called game of straight pool. He won 15 world championships in 17 years. Have some respect.
for me i think it's not only about numbers, it's also about how they played and who they played against to tell who's the GOAT
great players aren't always great teachers. Just like how good a player plays has nothing to do with what they're like as a person and what kind of personality they have. You can be a great player but a piece of shit person. You can be a great player but a shitty teacher. Don't glorify people beyond what's worth admiring about them.
I have huge respect for Mosconi, nevertheless Reyes is still the greatest pool player to ever pick up a cue.

@@13sephadex Opinion doesn't make something a fact.
Mosconi, living out of his suitcase, travelling to wherever there was money to do exhibitions. Making money to win bread for his family. There are not many people who can do this kind of stuff and be graceful about it. Making it seem easy, even though I know doing this kind of stuff takes years and years. I'm simply in awe. Thanks for the original post.
The look Mosconi gives at 6:42 after making that rail shot is GOLD. #legend
I noticed that too! That was a great shot and he knew it!
It's wasn't after that shot, it was clearly an edit.
I love how he says "let's try this" "oh we did it" like it's his first time doing this
Priceless....i remember falling in love with the game of pool back in "83" and got taught by this hustler in Oakland Ca. at this hole in the wall on High Street. His name was Herbert Taylor, man that S.O.B. could shoot his ass off plus he was bi-lingual said he learned Spanish via the pool hall since it was predominately Mexican and he told me 'if you want to make some cash you better learn the lingo" he made so much fucking money just playing pool that he bought a lathe, rented a small shop and started making custom pool sticks,eh Herb "May you always REST IN PEACE buddy and thanks
+16davelle awesome!
Alex Tran Man i wish you could have met Herb,everybody loved him but i was lucky enough to get tutored by him,take care
Back when men had identities and purposes
Some of the negative comments about Mosconi below are ignorant. Including challenge matches, the World Championship of straight pool changed hands 26 times between 1941 and 1957 and Mosconi won 19 of those 26. Everyone talks of the 526 balls, which is not a record, since Mike Eufemia ran 625 (see Guinness Book of Records, 1981). And it wasn't an unfinished run; he missed a table-length cut shot. His greatest achievement was in dominating the landscape. When the table went from 5 X 10 to 4 and 1/2 X 9', he ran so many hundreds in those 150-point games. After a stroke in his late 40s, he return to tournament play a last time in Burbank and, against a field of Balsis, Lassiter and others, he finished second. So, yes, have some respect.
I watched Mosconi play many exhibitions back in the 60's. He was my idol. He would always open the exhibition with a run of a couple of hundred balls.
Willie is so cool and mellow when he's talking billiard chops...wish i could have had the honor to shake his hand and see him play live....thanks Willie
Lack of ability to comprehend talent, hard work and knowledge leaves some people stuck with frustration and disrespect for everything and anyone along the way. They need no apparent reason to hate or dislike and it is pointles to try to figure out their "thumbs down" motives... has nothing to do with the magnitude of reasons why your thumb should be up. How hard must it be to recognize excellence and enjoy it with appreciation? This rare footage is contaminated with authority of a true master delivering the essence. What more can one demand?
He was my father's idol, got to play the man in an exhibition in the 50s. Said he was completely starstruck. He only got to shoot twice, but was so nervous he couldn't do anything, and then didn't even think to get a picture.
Had the privilege of seeing two of his exhibitions. He was smooth as glass and did every trick shot on the first try.
The reason it is called a trick shot is because it is set up to be made. Anybody with an knowledge of a pool table can make the shot if it is set up right.
crystalball2469 a buck says you will brick with a perfect set up
I got yelled by this man when I was a teenager for hitting balls at the cue ball! “Respect the equipment “ he said. Great man and very serious
Man, Willie was the best! Amazing watching him as an older man make this look easy.
Thanks so much for posting this video. Brings back good memories from "The Olden Days." One of the highlights of my life was getting to meet Willie Mosconi at Mickey Finn's Billiards in Arlington, Texas, 1971.
Thanks for sharing this, I read about this guy but never actually saw him play. You can tell he's a maestro by the way he handles that cue, look how straight those balls roll. Amazing!
Thanks for the video.
I was privileged to have Willie do an exhibition at the Hard Time Billiard in Long Beach, CA back in the 1989. He had to travel with his wife as his mind was starting to wander. Even then he could still perform amazing shots. He even had my gal come to the table during his show and set up a shot that was simply amazing to watch. He was a true gentleman. Cowboy Jimmy Moore was there as well and I had a Studio photo set up there where I got a great portrait of them together. They had many epic battles on pool tables in there day. I still have the cue ball that he signed flawlessly, amazing guy. He was the expert for the original film of the Husler with Jackie Gleason and Paul Neuman. You can see him in small clips in the film as well.
Amazing. The greatest poll player that ever lived. I had a friend named Tally Jenkins from Minersville Pa that shot Willie in a New York pool room. They played a game called one pocket. Each player had the opposing side pocket as the only pocket he could make a ball in. Tally said he lost like 2 dollars. They probable were playing back in the 30s or 40s I guess? I met Tally in the early 60s when he was old, but he could still shoot. Willie is just off the wall good. He could run 125 balls on a different poll table each night where ever he went , and he could walk into a pool room and run 150 or 200 on some nights.
He makes it look so easy! Willie is the man!
Really the easiest lessons with out all the dramatic BS. Tried all n they helped greatly. Thanks ✌🏻
Awesome! I'm old enough to have seen him playing in the 70s.
Willie was the best ever
I had to laugh at how easily he did all those shots and was not really explaining much to us. I love this guy and feel like Mrphilharmonic that he was not so much trying to teach as "teach us a lesson" about how good he is. When I watch instructional videos about banking they explain the effect of speed (more shortens the angle), use of outside English to get a mirror image system to work, etc. There is a lot to all this stuff but to Willie it seemed he did not even have to think about it. Thanks for posting this video.
That is amazing indeed
Best explanation i've found so far
The man is a legend no argument. His shots go in.. yessir they sure do. But his explanation of the bank shot geometry in the first minute that doesn't jive. On his one diamond shot, where the object ball is halfway across the width of table, he says "one half that". But - partway through 1:15 - he hits he cushion at 1/3 of a diamond space from the diamond to the center of the pocket, which is where simple geometry says it should go. And he pots it. The next diamond would be center of the side pocket if it was visible.
He clearly hits it center diamond I suggest you rewatch
What the other guy said plus listen to him carefully he said you shoot thru the cushion at the diamond.
Great video!
As a youth I was horrible at pool and all me friends never picked me to be on their side. Pop got us a pool table.He wished he hadnt but oh well.So i got WM's book back in I think 67'.I read it tried some shots then one day me friends came over we betted and yep i walked with the doe.Just got better to where no one would play be but a few guys.Willies the best.
Great vid! 🎱
Great one, thank you alot!
WELL DONE !
Simply awesome
Mr. Mosconi gave pool what it never had before him, respect. Arguably the greatest player ever, with an unfinished run of 526 balls besides his many other accomplishments.
fireworm678. yes mosconi was the man
Not quite.
Thanks go to willie ! Great player and teacher ! ! 👍👍👍👍
awesome indeed..i love it !!!
Setting up the bank shots to be straight banks is unreal. You can make them when they don't line up perfectly like he is placing them, you just need to hit it in the right spot.
I love this guy!
Awesome!
I would like to see the full video pleaseee:)
I really would love to see the full video of this great player!
