Johnny Archer is best known for playing Nine Ball. As with all great pool players, he is a master of many of the different games. Johnny Archer and Nick Varner visited FastMikie for a game of straight pool. Lucky for us Fastmikie turned on his camera and captured Johnny Archers 120 ball run. With so many people playing 8 ball and 9 Ball it is nice to see that the game of Straight Pool is alive and well in the hands of Johnny Archer.
Posted all the links to FastMikies Videos to make it easy to find them.
