In 1990/91? I saw Tony play (snooker) against Stephen Hendry in a major tournament when Hendry was dominating World snooker.Tony lost 5-4 but it was a hell of a match and he was even quicker then than now,20ish stone almost running around the table.
I heard a long time ago that the reason Tony plays so fast is that when he was a kid playing snooker with his mates in Malta,the lamp over the table was coin-operated on a timer so they played quickly to get the most out of their pocket money!
Respect to the big man.
I gotta say I think Tony shot great for his age. I think we will see more of him ..
Love how Tony was smiling and seemed to be in good humor at the end of the match. Wish all the players would act the same!
Agree! It also looks like Tony worked a lot with his temper during play too. I'm not saying he used to be impolite towards his opponents, he just used to literally smack his own head when missing, letting his temper get the better of him.
He still plays very fast, does miss here and there, but I don't think he would benefit from slowing down his game anyway, he needs that pace to be his best.
Great match!
I agree completely. Losers should not a sour grape!!!
Love watching Tony play. My 2nd favorite after Earl. Tony is living proof you don't have to study each shot to death the way the younger players do nowadays.
nice to see Tony looking well again.
Howdy Ron💪😃
I LOVE this match! Drago's still got it! =)
He sat down after making the one because it was an illegal break. Not all tournaments use the rule. He made one ball and needed two balls to be above the head string for it to be legal.
I totally forgot it wasn’t a legal break for a second and then i was like ah never mind
Doesn't he only make 1 ball on his 2nd break around 3 minutes? This rule is confusing me haha
@@lilsmurf7094because you need 3 balls to pass kitchen line, potted ball is counted as 1 ball passing kitchen line
@@lilsmurf7094 need 3 points on the break. Making a ball is a point, and crossing an object ball past the head string is a point. Using a combination of 3 or more points is a legal break.
@@tungdinh2007 ahhhh okay, it was just that the original comment confused me as I read it as though 2 balls needed to be potted. This all makes sense now though thanks everyone.
I didn't know this rule applied to nine all with the 3 point system as I've never seen someone make an illegal break in this way
Nice to see Drago again.
It amazes me at how quickly tony sees the shot and knows exactly how to hit it!
When you practice enough drills and play enough games it becomes muscle memory. Minnesota Fats would shoot faster. In fact, fats wouldn't even bend over, he just step up and shoot lol. There's others too. Sometimes I shoot fast, it's like I'm running around the pool table shot to shot .
Tony is my all time fave shooter. I don't care if he wins or loses I just like to watch him play.
Easiness of Tony's cue ball control is so amazing. Pure talent. I will never forget his epic battles against Strickland :D
Lots of respect for each other. Awesome!
Is no one going to mention the crooked rack that led to the "golden break"? 2:25
Nice game, fluid tempo ! Tony kept up really well, maybe just two missed shots from him, cost him the match. One, an easy transport-ball, and a careless miss of position..
lol shane smiling at Tony's golden break
isn't that kind of an awkward space they left these two to place their cue sticks?
Tony Drago is the best ! ❤❤❤
Shane helping Tony with everything that fell. All class. SVB is the best there is.....Can't wait to see him in Virginia in October.
When Shane did knock the stuff over… but I like how he grabbed Tony’s bag and was like this is how you set up your corner. Lol
Am I the only one that noticed the 2 ball jump off the rail at 8:06 when Tony kicked at it?
2:00 Drago gets hit with the double whammy.
I have no more complaints
How old is drago now ? Reminds me of my 77 year old dad who still talks a lot of shyet to me when playing against me in pool. Love it - pisses me off.
If I was Tony my nerves would be rattled after losing the lag, then missing that combo by that much and then dropping all my sticks..lol. Oh wait..it was Shane who knocked over his sticks AND knocked off his glasses..ouch!!..lol 1:53
還是很快哈哈哈
哇噻，好久不見東尼
yeah, whatever he said!!
Shane not playing with extension on the back of his cue??
Shane made the 1 in the side off the break why did tony shoot first?
"When ashes fall, the legends collide", or whatever disturbed said
Sensed shane was a little frustrated
Jeez Tony Drago needs a cue claw! 🙁🙄😕
I wonder why shane didnt play with his extention
I think Shane is a little star-struck.
Drago has quite a stubby stroke apparently.
Porque rompe shane mete una bola y después tira drago ?
Se juega con la regla "3 in the kitchen". Para ser rotura legal 3 deben pasar la raya de partida. Si entra una, entonces dos deben pasar. Solo una pasó la raya
@@yismenjorge6518 a gracias, no tenia idea 👍👍👍
the camera shows colors washed out
Didn't Shane get the 1 ball in on the first break of the match? So why didn't Shane still shoot then? Oh unless they are using the European rule of breaking where more than 1 ball has to pass the line
isn't that kind of unprofessional to leave your cue bag on the floor in the shooting area in the beginning?
Not everyone knows the flags of countries. I'm one of those who do not. Would it not be better to put the name of the country instead? At least the abbrev.
i thought snooker players were far superior to american 8 ball and 9 ball players. Cant handle my boy Shane huh
Dear lord. Tony nearly died couple years ago of heart failure…
@@TheJohnCooperShow what does that have to do with it?
nobody ever thought that, except for internet trolls.
@@raskolnjikov1 the fact that tony is in his late 50's,, retired from snooker main tour years ago, and is recovering from heart failure and chronic illness....
@@TheJohnCooperShow then where are the young healthy snooker players sweeping the floor at these tournaments? Doesn’t happen. Not taking anything away from tony, just calling out the silliness that somehow what these athletes do is any different than snooker players.
"Original" Commentary by who again?
Cosmin Gherman and Rico Diks towards the end
Why did Shane sit down after the first break when he made the 1 ball?
same question i dont get it
@@BlackWhite-nq5ro I found it, 5 comments down
Combination of making 3 balls or 3 past the headstring, Shane made one, one came past the headstring, but a third ball failed to be pocketed or move past the headstring so Tony was allowed to take over the table. All to prevent soft cut breaks since they don’t use a break box.
@@TrainReQd they need to do away with that stupid break rule. Lets go with 3 balls must hit a rail rule instead.
legend? see only one, tony drago and a lucky guy
Lmao 🤡
FIrst break, he pocketed a ball, why did he not keep on playing ?
Illegal break as less than 2 balls cross the line
It's a special rule set played at some events. It's in place to prevent people from soft breaking.
Its called the 3-point rule. A legal break requires a combination of 3 balls pocketed or crossing the second diamond from the top of the table. In this case one ball was pocketed, so two more balls would need to either be pocketed or cross into "the kitchen"
Because of kitchen rule
Drago is lucky to even get that many racks on SVB 🤣
Has there ever been worse pool commentary than this?!
?無聊的比賽
Boring game
9 ball is so easy peasy
