Hey Zeek, I asked about Larry Folk on nwfoosball.com and there are some who remember him and played him in the 70's. Sounds like he was quite the player.

Larry was on one of the traveling ts demo teams. He did a shot that was the most amazing demo shot i have ever seen. The texas players at the time called it the circle jerk. He would set the ball up in the pull kick position. Then he would start fhe far man circling around the ball, and eventually get the man going around the ball really fast. I could never figure out how he did the circle so fast without touching the ball. Then at some point he would shoot a pull kick that was reall strong. He did the shot without any hesitation in the circle. You watched the man circling the ball and then it just disapeared. Problem was he couldnt shoot a dink or middle. Sucked for tournament play, but was an amazing shot none the less. cant do it on a table with hard men.
