Walter Lindrum



Great Video. Makes it look so easy.

World record break of 4137 in 1932. They changed the rules of billiards after this record break, to try and stop him. Didn't work. Lindrum won the World Professional Billiards Championship in 1933 and held it until his retirement in 1950. He also holds the fastest century break (46 seconds) and 1011 points (in 30 minutes). In a match in 1930 (against Willie Smith) he made 10 breaks over 1000 with a highest of 2419.

Reminds me a lot of my own table skills ...

Like Wally I too have far greater skills than my older brother but refuse to challenge him on the national stage for fear of humiliating the poor chap.
