During one 14.1 event he beat both Joe Balsis and Irving Crane running more than 90 and out on each of them. He was 16 at the time. Quite the 14.1 machine was he. |

Austin plays pretty strong. He was playing a little under Amar's speed. Great shotmaker with an amazing stroke. His stroke was the kind that made you jealous. He was playing the weekly and monthly tourneys sporadically at Hard Times Sacramento up until a few years ago. Hadn't seen him in awhile before I moved away.

Chris Robinson is going to be a world beater. Mark my words. "Are you gonna bark all day little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?" - Mr. Blonde |

All the players knew about him when he was a teen prodigy. He was one kid they avoided! http://www.jayhelfert.com/ to order More Pool Wars |

Bobby Hunter definitely knew Mark. |
