In the early 70's at the Bellflower Palace Dr. Bill came in and played a guy on the front table, it obviously was a schedule match. I, a 19 yr old wet behind the ears, sat front and center and thought to myself in watching Billy that this is the finest OP player I have ever seen. He hit the balls so gently, just as if they were eggs.
I remember one scenario, the guy appeared to have Billy slightly hook on a ball to his hole, but Billy addressed the shot and he was not hooked anymore.
The guy got madder than hell, for he felt Billy slid his bridge hand up upon the cb which made the shot available. A knowledgeable hustler move if you ask me! lol! Whitey
