Rodolfo Luat

As a teenage sensation in the early 80s, Rodolfo Luat was nicknamed Boy Samson after he allegedly cracked a cue ball in half after a break.* Though initially known for his power, Luat has since cemented a reputation in finesse. His control over the cue ball has made him one of the few masters in Rotation billiards.

Rodolfo Luat has since reemerged with stellar performances of late, winning the Kaohshiung leg of the Asian 9 ball tour and finishing in the finals of the US Open. Watch for Luat to be in the thick of things this coming November at the WPC.

*Luat has since countered that the ball was merely "nicked" , Though I have seen him tip a billiard table by himself!
