[Kamadev888]

The Master himself.

[herschie91]

He's worried about his next three shots while I feel lucky to make anything!

[Superdedupe]

1:30 well isn't that fortunate

[nimajnebrm]

Mosconi moved pretty quickly around the table for being in his late 60s

[JUMBOpin]

@MisterLom that was a dumb comment

[321ywis]

ściema i tyle, break ponad 500? no jasne, i to w marynarce. Ogolnie szacun dla dziadka ale bez przesady

I remember back in the 70s when I was a kid, watching WM and Minnesota Fats duke it out. Good TImes!!!

Great video!

[Qenthusiast1]

Great, rare footage. Thanks for posting....

[vs800rider]

WM. The greatest! Thanks for posting.

[NYTIGER101]

Great video. Much thanks.

[Gabe511]

Great Video. He was a good friend of my grandparents and he even played pool on their table!! Too bad i was too young to meet him, or learn from him.

[cousinx1976]

Is this filmed with a 1960 toaster?

[unclemings]

Thanks bro. I havent played in yrs. Seeing Mosconi shoot made me pick up the cue again

[pinhaki]

@unclemings seriously,I'm glad to hear that.worth upload the vid.

[raskeLone]

@pinhaki Where did you get the original video?

[BMWLDRider]

@unclemings Too bad nobody plays straight pool anymore.

[unclemings]

@BMWLDRider Some people around my area still plays but not many. Its the reason why I gave up the game. It was getting harder and harder to get a straight pool game. I like all the other games like nine, eight, one ball etc but straight is where it was at.

[NAMTRIP]

Thanks for sharing this.

[pinhaki]

@NAMTRIP Thank you for comment.

[Mr19dave75]

its not hard to play straight pool if you are Willie Mosconi

[vs800rider]

Like all great ones, he makes it look easy. Pure genius. The Babe Ruth, Ben Hogan, or Michael Jordan of his sport.

[straightpoolstudent]

What an outstanding video! He just ran off 28 balls, while narrating, and made it seem so easy. Those big follow shots on the breaks aren't as easy as they look.

[straightpoolstudent]

What an outstanding video! He just ran off 29 balls, while narrating, and made it seem so easy. Those big follow shots on the breaks aren't as easy as they look.

[8down10]

@straightpoolstudent lets face it, straight pools not that hard and its certainly nowhere near as hard as people make out

[driz86]

@8down10 well i guess it depends who you're playing. Playing by yourself in your mother's basement is probably not hard, I agree. Then again, "people" are probably talking about playing it at a high level in relation to other games.

[Zweihorne]

@8down10 You must be pretty darn good if you think that. Try playing someone at your own skill level to 250 points. Not only is it a game of endurance, but every miss can be punished with a loss against a skilled enough opponent. The name of the game is consistency.

[LeonFleisherFan]

@8down10 It's not "difficult" to run a few balls - it's difficult to continually do so leaving oneself multiple safety valves in case something goes wrong, and never mess up position play once there are few balls left, the crucial time in each rack when there is no safety net to fall back on. Try it! You'll be surprised how soon one runs into problems in this seemingly straightforward pool discipline - and one isn't yet good at it if one's continually got problems to overcome.

[maddom]

@LeonFleisherFan safety valves... Someone read 'mastering pool' by george fels ;) just finished reading the straight pool section.

[TheWillsmith13]

What a legend. you just have to think about how many times in his life that he has made a break shot
