Thanks for watching! Leave a comment below if you have an idea for a video idea that you would like me to cover, or have any critiques/ideas on how I can improve my videos. Lets get to 100 subs!
I noticed you had a few cut-together edits between shots. I understand the desire to remove some of the boring parts in between shots but I am always suspicious that what REALLY happened is that you didn't get that perfect shape you needed for next shot so you had to manually set it up and thus edit video together to appear as though you ran it out. Perhaps consider not doing that in the future. But a nice video none the less. Subscribing because the world needs more pool !
I was just cutting to keep on pace with the music and to speed up the video. I will try to at least let the cue ball stop moving before I cut to the next shot for future videos. Thanks for the subscribe and feedback.
The ball youre shooting at is frozen the one from the mosconi cup isnt. Makes a difference, ball is easier to pocket when it’s frozen. Not denying the fact that it’s a shot Alex was very capable of making for someone of his caliber, it’s a slight but important difference.
I've seen this said a few times. Being just a bit off the rail makes this shot a lot harder cuz you need more accuracy. You have to be sure to hit the object ball before the rail. Still though, he should have gotten out at that level, but we all make mistakes.
Comparing your practice tables to a Mosconi Cup TV table is like thinking a toddler is old enough to smoke and drink. The table conditions are very different between the two. Perhaps you may remember that new cloth and warmer environments allow for more slide to occur, making it more difficult to play a ball around three two or three rails. And the deep shelved pockets don't make it any easier. But I'm not surprised you showed some video of you 'making' the shot in your 'practice' time.
You are not wrong, but I still think Team Europe should have won that game. Alex is of a caliber that he is highly favored to make that shot whether the table plays tough or not.
This is probably my favorite pool hall anywhere. It is filled with Korean Professional players who are practicing drills and playing matches against each other every day of the week. Also, they have a daily pool special of just 12,000 won (about $10 USD) to play from open to close every day. All of the equipment is extremely well kept, and the owner is none other that Kim Ga Young, previously number 1 ranked 9-ball player in the world. She has trophies from the U.S. Open, World Titles, and Champion of Champions tournaments strung on display all around the pool hall. If you are ever in Seoul, you have to go.
The outro song? My friends and I always reference that song while playing but I didn't know there was a pool version haha. Nice vid, Kazakis choked plain and simple. If he was on practice table he would've gotten that shot 99/100 times.
Its easy for us to say things and shoot balls in practice game but when your in the heat of a battle especially in a stage like that though there what we call pro there still human and feels the same presure as we do,arms getting heavy, cant see the lines, brain overhitting and the worst is the adrenaline. So what you think? If you heard what shane said in the interview regarding the shot he said its a guess shot though we know it became like almost auto pilot.
I can't even count the number of times that I have just put my brain into auto-pilot on a key shot. I am looking at a shot and I just can't seem to see the angle. I just get down and hit it and hope that it goes in. Most of the time it doesn't. I can't imagine the pressure at an event like the Mosconi Cup. Much respect to every pro out there.
@@WorldofPoolandBilliards Hi. Thanks for the reply. The music over the runout is fine, but for me, the commentary music is just a little (only a little!) too high. Great channel and I hope you upload a lot more content.
@@MikeJB6 I will try dropping it a couple of decibels on my future videos. Thanks for the feedback. I plan on uploading once a week, maybe more if I have the time.
TV tables react differently to spin and power. Not your average club table. If a seasonned professional takes this kind of decisions there is a reason behind it.
is not easy when you're playing in the tournament.. the environment, pressure and the experience are totally different.. even a straight easy ball you could miss it..
It the standard table that they use in China for most events. Couldn't tell you the name of it as the place I shot this at closed years ago, but the tables did play well.
I'm saying he choked under pressure. He is a great player and should have won that game and Team America was lucky to get another shot at the table. Don't be so sensitive to think that a single criticism means I think I am a superior player. I am far from that level and the fact that I could execute it consistently shows that he should have gotten out.
The more I watched this video, and then rewatched it to make sure I was hearing you right, the more of a fool I realize you are with your comment. On a practice table under conditions that you created, I imagine Kazakis makes that shot 99.7% of time. However, Kazakis had all the eyes of the Europeon pool nation watching him. The pressure of letting his team and NATION down was on his shoulders. He believes if svb get backs to the table, he himself has lost the cup. (Look what happened to Filler in this years cup) Plus Kazakis has had a pretty bad tournament up to that point if I remember right, that increases pressure. Add to that, the conditions of the table are so much more difficult than what we get to play on in a pool hall. They are slicker, english doesnt take off the rails the same, squirt and deflection of the cue ball is much more. To think your recreation of the shot is even 10% of the difficulty level that Kazakis faced, I think you're over-estimating. You should be ashamed of your comments regarding that shot. Someone needed to say it to you.
Should've won this game..? I like your video''s but Dude.. You clearly dont know what pressure he was facing. The 1 was off the rail.. AND your pockets are twice as big ;) LOL
Is it wrong of me to say that I think he is skilled player who is quite capable of making that shot? That is all I am saying in this video. You don't think that he normally wins from that position? He is a world class player. USA was lucky to get another shot that rack.
Ok so you can make the one on the rail, around the five, but you didn’t do it there. Have you not heard the ridiculous crowd behaviour at the Mosconi? They are brutal. Booing the players, yelling, hooting and acting like idiots. I would like to see you playing there under that pressure.

This is the kind of pool content we need on CZcams. Great!
Thanks! That is what I have been trying to create because there just isn't enough content on CZcams right now.
Very well produced videos - keep them coming :)
Thanks Sharivari. A lot of my graphic ideas are from the content that I have see you do on your channel.

The 1 ball is not frozen... about 3 or 4mm
You nailed it brotha!!!
Love your channel man!
Love the montage! Nice vid!
Thanks Paul! It looks pretty chessy, but that is what I was going for.

High quality content, great commentary
Thanks Nomtom Banana
Yay you uploaded
I did all the recording for the Chris Melling kick shot you requested yesterday. That should be the video I release next week.
World of Pool and Billiards thx :)
You video's are extremely helpful and BEYOND BETTER THAN THAT DUPREE KID NO JOKE. KEEP IT ☝ UP.
You're vids...Solid.
Thanks Jon, Going to be making another re-creation video in the next month or so
Wish that pool hall was near me.

Nice breakdown. I really like your commentary. My only criticism is that the music is a little too loud.
The music behind the commentary, or the music when I show the runout?
@@WorldofPoolandBilliards Hi. Thanks for the reply. The music over the runout is fine, but for me, the commentary music is just a little (only a little!) too high. Great channel and I hope you upload a lot more content.

Can you link the pool you need to cut it song at the end
Haha, I am still working on releasing it. The music is completely done, but I have had a hard time with the music video. Should be out within a month.
I honestly think that without shane team america would find it much more difficult to win the major tournaments.
is not easy when you're playing in the tournament.. the environment, pressure and the experience are totally different.. even a straight easy ball you could miss it..
Absolutely, the pressure as well as the table conditions are certainly much tougher than I am dealing with,
Are those tables Gold Crown knock offs? They look nice... do they play well?
It the standard table that they use in China for most events. Couldn't tell you the name of it as the place I shot this at closed years ago, but the tables did play well.
So... should I expect you to beat Kazakis in a match? Is that what you’re saying.
I'm saying he choked under pressure. He is a great player and should have won that game and Team America was lucky to get another shot at the table. Don't be so sensitive to think that a single criticism means I think I am a superior player. I am far from that level and the fact that I could execute it consistently shows that he should have gotten out.
The problem is your table is nothing like the slick bran new fast tight pocket table they were playing on. Nothing.
Are you in Korea? It looks like Kim Ga Young Academy in Korea~
Yes, I live in Seoul and record at KGY academy.
The more I watched this video, and then rewatched it to make sure I was hearing you right, the more of a fool I realize you are with your comment.

Not saying I am better, just that I think the casters were wrong and that Europe should have won that game.
