In the Color of the Money all cues were Joss and Mc Dermott.
Stuhlbarg looked great in Miss Sloan too!
That’s not a Balabushka it’s a Jossen made to look like one.
Pool hall junkies would have been a fun one for him to break down
No Poolhall Junkies?!
I was expecting to watch a review on ''Legend Of the Dragon'' 😂
Jokes a part, really nice video.
He needs to see alex Higgins vs john Virgo to famous snooker players potting the pink and black on the snooker table using only 1 hand on the black
What about the dead presidents scene
Billiards is played on a snooker table without pockets. Not a pool table without pockets.
Plot twist: they used Efren Rayes for the Sinefeld episode..he used a battone
This guy: oh, you never seen or heard of playing pool
Pool is a pub game 😂 snooker is the real sport
No Poolhall Junkies?
I was waiting for them to show that one drake and josh episode lmao
"I've never heard of a living human being making all the balls in one shot"
Fair, but Elizabeth Hurley isn't living or a human being in Bedazzled
Whoa. Really makes it look like pool is a game of gangsters / mafiosi.
You ever watch those nature documentaries on the cable?
I would like to add that Wille Moscini was the technical advisor for the Hustler. He shot all shots that didn't show Paul Newman. Was told that Gleason shot his own shots. I also saw after the Hustler came out, the character Minisota Fats in Wards store in Gary Indiana play and loose to a local and cried about the table being off.😋
Should’ve included pool hall junkies
why isn't there a chapter for poolhall junkies
"get legs, get legs"
not "give thanks" lmao
You got to do a darts episode.
Yeah well, Ronnie O'Sullivan has been known to do one hand shots, and during competitions, mind you. Arguably it's snooker, not pool per se, but I would still deem it a pretty "serious" game.
Other than that, absolutely fantastic job at teaching the inner workings of the game, loved the video.
Men are better than women at almost every sport, including pool. The truth is not sexist.
I can't believe they don't have pool hall junkies in here
Efren Reyes is the goat
What about touching the felt??????
The Hustler gets a video game adaptation in 1995 for Sega, but you play as Minnesota Fats himself
Aren't y'all supposed to get professionals to comment these topics and not know-nothing amateurs?! WTF?! This guy knows nothing.
I'm a amateur player and was arrested for hustling at a local club. I paid a fine of $500
color of money he used a Joss cue, Paul Newman said it was a Balabushka but it was not.
I'll bet that Grogu could make all of the balls in one shot. 😉
What I always heard was that, i The Hustler, Gleason shot all his own shots, but most of Newman's were shot by Willie Mosconi.
The Color of Money Cue by Joss Cues is a replica of the pool cue used in the classic Martin Scorsese movie, "The Color of Money." Referred to in the movie as a Balabushka, this cue was, in fact, a Joss Cue.
Mike Sigel was the technical advisor for Color of Money.
evidently you've never watched efren reyes play, he makes kick shots like that all day long, which is why they call him the magician.
