#11 and #28 are basically the same shot. 😂

Great to hear Grady's voice. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the inspiration. This game is addictive. Managed to beat your 54 finally :D

One pocket 10 commandments?

A complete waste of talent, that's exactly what Tony is, he could have been a multi millionaire

I used to watch Tony play at the Luck Break in Greenville on Whitehorse Road. He was amazing. I’ll admit, I was jealous.

How is shot #41 being hit? I can't get it rite. Thank you!

Great sound track and some great shot making.

💔 please type in Greta Thunberg connects climate ecological and health crisis

RIP Grady

Excellent performance, The most impressive part is the speed control on such difficult shots. I started playing pool in the early 1960s. I have watched most of the greatest players from then until now. I believe the players of today play better than at any time in history. Part of it has to do with equipment and conditions, but most of it is higher skill levels.

Great collection of quotes! Thank you. Wonderful idea to add Grady's voice. I miss that man.

What a beautiful game

awesome shots and great tunes!!!

Finally!!! Been wanting to see someone playing puntos this way 😁😁 could you do a video explaining the rules? I think it would help a lot of people who are curious about it or who have never played the game before.

*PromoSM*

What is the name of the background song?

I have the book The 99 Critical Shots in Pool. These one pocket shots need to be written down in a similar format. Awesome thank you for the video.

This guy has the luck/fluke stat turned up to 10

0:28 Wow, he was up 13 to 3 on Appleton and threads the needle on that shot to get perfect. He must have been playing lights out that match.

just look out for the two railers and know a couple three railer lineups. after that the 4's and 5's show themselves when they line up.

No challenge with massive pockets

Nice drill and execution.

I spend all night watching and learning what I can. This time, I read and learned more than I had soaked up all year. Bravo

I remember speed pool matches on tv many years ago. I believe Shane Van Boening played as a young teenager.

I can’t even do that in 10’ 😮

Me miss you Grady

It's hilarious that most of these comments are remembering Tony fondly through rose-colored glasses. In truth, Tony never amounted to much because he was essentially a blowhard deadbeat with no drive. People like him are why pool is seen negatively by the general public. Yes he admittedly made money as a gambler but he mainly did it by beating up on naive, over-confident amateurs or low level pros (which, by the way, means nothing since the terms "good" or "pro" are so loosely used in pool). In spite of that, however, most ppl agree that he could never hope to go toe to toe with world class competition for serious money. Where was he during the Action Report days 15 years ago? Why hasn't he ever streamed big money matches with well-known players? Because he's simply not disciplined or talented enough to win.

Very nice game. Dr. Dave's Peace Sign would be an easy tool how to choose your shots.

14:13 Nothing like a little timing kiss shot to make your opponent go on tilt. This is a beautiful compilation and it took a lot of creativity to come up with. Well done sir.

Nice run! I love the song as well - it was great in the bowling movie Kingpin.

Bank on brother!

Nice collection! Alex is such a beast. He might be the best all around player in the last 30 years besides Efren.

The only quote that matters is… Don’t educate the suckers..

Nice collection of quotes. Grady was quite the character.

Congrats, that's impressive. I assume you made a run at the one pocket tourney also - how'd you do there?

better without the AI

Beautiful to watch

There are so many incredible shots in this one. Nicely done video!

nice, my heads gonna explode.

Im an avg player 542 fargo What does scratch pool teach you???

Wowwww Awesome dude

This was well done.

Are you the one who just put out a new one pocket book?

Sick.

are the balls touching the rail?

Please remove the music.

Here is an updated, more comprehensive guide to Rotation Philadelphia 8-ball "Roto Phil-8". I'd love to hear input on rules if people have ideas on how the game maybe should be played, or let me know if I should word sections differently! Roto Phil-8 (Rotation Philadelphia 8-ball) Rack: ------ BCA rack, except the 1-ball and 15-ball are placed in the middle behind the 8-ball. Break: ------- Use the cue-ball ball like normal BCA 8-ball in the kitchen to break. If anything drops on the break, open table, the player who breaks continues to shoot. If the 8-ball drops on the break, the 8-ball will be spotted. The player who broke the rack will continue to shoot. - APA Caveat (To be discussed by players before the match starts): It can be considered a win if playing on a coin operated bar/pub table where the 8-ball cannot be spotted after a break because more money has to be inserted into the table. Many rules will have to be adjusted/modified because balls can not be retrieved unless money is put into the table. Push-Out (optional rule): ---------------------------- To be discussed by players before the game starts if a push-out is allowed during play only after the initial break. Continuing Play: ------------------ The game now switches to Philadelphia/Scratch Pool. Every shot after the break must be caromed off the cue-ball. Because it is rotation, incoming shooter after the break, on an open table, can choose to start with the low-set (lows/littles) rotating from the 1-ball up to the 8-ball, or the high-set (highs/bigs) rotating from the 15-ball down to the 8-ball. Sets are are not assigned to anyone until a player makes the first legal ball after the initial break A players object ball is always the next number in rotation towards the 8-ball starting with the 1-ball going up to the 8-ball, or the 15-ball going down to the 8-ball. When the table is open, the shooter can attempt either set. If a player accidentally makes an opponents ball into a pocket for any reason at any point in the game, it stays down. Combos: ---------- Players are allowed to carom-combo but not a direct combo. Example #1: Carom Combo If the 2-ball is the next ball in rotation, the shooter can carom the 2-ball off the cue-ball and send the 2-ball into the 6-ball ball that is hanging near a pocket. The shooter must call the 6-ball as their ball and the pocket it will go into, but the shooter must start with the lowest ball that is in their rotation if they are lows, or the highest ball in their rotation if they are highs. Example 2: Direct Combo (illegal, foul) A Shooter can NOT send the 2-ball ball into the cue-ball and make the cue-ball combo directly into the 6-ball. All shots must be of a carom. If this is done, it is a foul, and the ball is spotted back onto the table. Ball-in-hand to the opponent. Any opponent balls made in the illegal attempt will remain down. Any ball belonging to the shooter will be spotted that was made during the illegal shot. - Caveat: If the cue-ball is caromed off another ball before it makes contact with the 6-ball, this is now a legal shot because it was a carom before the cue-ball made contact with the 6-ball and will no longer be considered a "direct combo" Example 3: Dirty Carom Combo When the table is still open after a break, dirty-carom-combos are allowed. The shooter can carom a low (example: 1-ball) off the cue-ball into a high (example: 13-ball). The shooter has to call the high ball into a called pocket. The shooter will be highs for the rest of the game, rotating from the 15-ball down to the 8-ball and will continue shooting. - A called dirty-carom-combo does not allow a shooter to contiue after sets have already been established to the players. If an intentional dirty-combo is done after sets are designated, the shooters turn is over. Not a foul. No ball-in-hand for incoming player. Just end of turn. Fouls: ------- All shots are to be taken Philadelphia style after the break (rotation object-ball into cue-ball). If a player takes a shot like normal pool (cue-ball into rotation object-ball) it is a foul and ball-in-hand to opponent. All fouls are ball-in-hand with the cue-ball. A player can NEVER touch or move an object ball with their hands at any point for any reason throughout the game. A picked up object-ball gets spotted and the turn goes back to opponent with cue-ball being ball-in-hand. - (For new players, because this is a common mistake when learning, I let them place the object ball back down to the same spot it was picked up from to the best of knowledge and continue with their turn as if nothing happened.) The cue-ball must be the first ball that the shooter's rotation-ball makes contact with. If any other ball is hit before the cue-ball, ball-in-hand for opponent. If a player commits any foul while pocketing their own called-ball, it will come back up and be spotted along with any accidentally pocketed object-balls that belong to the shooter durring their attempt. If a player shoots/hops thier rotation-ball off the table, it gets spotted. Ball-in-hand for opponent with the cue-ball. -Any other balls that are not the rotation-ball that get hopped off the table during a shooters turn will not be considered a foul, but those balls will be spotted, including opponents balls that were hopped off the table. -Hopping an opponents ball off the table is not the same as pocketing their ball, where it would stay down in that case. A rail must be hit after legal first contact, or any ball must be pocketed after legal first contact if no rails are hit. Ball-in-hand to opponent if neither happens. How To Win: -------------- First player to make the 8-ball wins. A player can NOT win early like in normal rotaion games. 8-ball must be the last ball in a players set, like in BCA Pool. Like BCA Pool, scratching on the 8-ball is not a loss unless both cue-ball and 8-ball go down in the same attempt.
