How good is SVB? At the US Open, he beat the great Efren Bata Reyes of the Phillipines...Efren has tons of world titles, but now SVB has won the US open 4 times, tied with Earl Strickland for the most Open wins. Here's Efren...getting older, but he still demands a LOT of respect in any pool tournament held throughout the world:  Next up, Dan Louie...now living in Seattle, but a former world champ who strikes fear in money players anywhere. But today..right now? SVB gets my vote as the best overall pool player in the USA.

It looks like the tip is resting on the felt. With that much downward pressure on it, I'm wondering how he doesn't damage the felt. Is his stroke so precise that there is no forward motion of the tip by the time it contacts the felt?

Here's a youtube analysis of "Hillbilly" Byrant's break...probably the fastest cue ball break speed in pool...although now he's working on a more controlled break. I watched a "rack your own" 9 ball match where Efren pocketed the 9 on the break 3 times in a row. YouTube - Analysis of Charlie Bryant's Break Technique (edit) From there you can find similar videos of other top player breaks...I just selected Hillbilly because his break is so damned powerful! Shanes break is more controlled but not as powerful...

forgot to random pic...video doesn't count, right?
 Palmer model M...from their 2nd catalog. I bought mine in 1972 for $125...still have it, but seldom play with it, since my current cue has a much better hit. Considered a collectible these days...worth several thousand. Mines mint because I took a long break from playing shortly after buying it... Things like running a biz, raising a kid took precedence for a few decades.

..It all began when the nude man stopped the taxi by running out into the street in front of traffic. As the perplexed driver got out of the car to see what was going on, the naked man grabbed the vehicle's bumper and tried - without much success - to lift it off the ground.
As a crowd of puzzled onlookers gathered to watch the spectacle, the man continued in his efforts to lift the car. Eyewitnesses reported that he would sometimes shout 'please give me strength!' as he struggled with the taxi.
