10 Minutes Of Pure Chris Melling Magic 🎱🪄

[@scottcargill4673]

Chris Melling is just a joy to watch and that’s why he’s called The Magician 🎱🎱

[@PeteN75]

His technique, sportsmanship and high IQ problem solving skills make him for me the most enjoyable player to watch. Completely deserves his nickname. Efren and Chris the two magicians represent the top class.

[@TheRiderGuider]

I remember playing Chris Melling in the Shipley & District League individual championship. Possibly early ninety’s. About the quarter finals. Best of five, I broke off and cleaned up. He broke off and cleaned up. I broke off and cleaned up. He broke off and cleaned up. I broke off and didn’t pot. Guess what? He cleaned up 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ … lost 2-3, lovely lad though. I’m glad he stuck with pool, was a time he tried his hand at snooker and was definitely good enough but his talent has always shone through with 8 ball 🎱

[@Seanyboii91]

Probably the best all round cue sport player of all time

[@tartan.crewww]

Nope Ronnie will always be the best cue sport player of all time

[@darrenjpeters]

@@tartan.crewww You gotta put Efren Reyes in the conversation as well there, mate. And don't get me wrong, I'm a massive Ronnie fan. And Melling is a freak as well. Melling has done the 2 best clearances I've ever seen.

[@riodemirel6809]

@@darrenjpetersefren Reyes is definitely not in that conversation, he can only play American 8 or 9 ball, ask him to get on a snooker table and he wouldn’t stand a chance

[@indolencegaming]

@@tartan.crewww Snooker players are only good for long shots, they don't have the knack for large masse shots or tricky shots that pool players can do

[@Dan-RepentOfSinYeshuaForWin]

I love Melling but he makes alot of mistakes positionally n then pulls something out the hat to recover n for this I have to disagree

[@BigDom61]

I never get sick of watching this man he’s absolutely unbelievable at times just a joy to watch

[@jeromedernoncourt510]

Quelle maîtrise du magicien, il est déconcertant, écoeurant de facilité, il voit tout, et dose à la perfection.

[@skelsteronian]

The most entertaining player in the game! More people like him and this lovely game would have been massive. But with a 10 minute compilation, it's astonishing that they couldn't get the frame against Immonen slotted in. That is by far the best frame in pool ever! If you know, you know

[@dragosNRK]

Absolutely delightful ❤❤❤

[@bertblue9683]

Definitely, THE Magician. It's damn magical to watch.

[@jama211]

Insane shots, 7:00 really shows his genius. Amazing.

[@Davidtrumphero]

Superstar. Brilliant son.

[@wandelust]

Have to agree with commentator - you could just watch him all day long. A superb player.

[@philipbister964]

A pure joy to watch

[@aaronbaron3155]

I thought efran was the magician 😂😂😂 This dude can pretty much do whatever he wants w the ball though he is outstanding

[@garymason5456]

Legend

[@oubrikbobaker]

This guy is a massive advert for this sport i know it's all about winning but doing it in style is the hardest which lets him down sometimes hence he's not in the place of the likes of tom cousins when it comes to trophies

[@nickamato7553]

I have to ask a question… why are there only yellow and red balls? Is this a different game they’re playing?

[@fredericpelloud7536]

English blackball pool

[@andreimarincas2826]

Is he playing with a snooker cue?

[@DavidThierry57]

@@andreimarincas2826 i think yes me to i don’t like when the cue is to thin or little ^^

[@indolencegaming]

Everyone in English pool plays with Snooker cues

[@fatroberto3012]

The cue ball in English pool is smaller and lighter than an American one, so English pool players either use snooker cues or cues with even smaller tips than snooker cues. There has never been any real history of ornamental butts and "high-tec" shafts in the UK.

[@andreimarincas2826]

Thanks guys, I didn't know English pool balls are smaller than snooker balls

[@jama211]

@@indolencegaming ehh kinda, some play with even smaller tips than you'd see in snooker.

[@ikvangalen6101]

Has he ever played Reyes??

[@Greendore]

7:30 can someone explain what just happened? He potted the yellow so he fouled right????

[@robin_holden]

Potting your opponent’s balls is perfectly legal as long as you hit your own first. It’s just another type of combo.

[@CrazyFlamesZero]

Personally, I much prefer to watch full runouts. Just cherry picking shots like this is not near as entertaining. Not a slight to Chris in any way, he's absolutely incredible. But being able to watch a full runout after an amazing shot or two (or 3 or 4 in some lol) is just way more enjoyable and satisfying to watch.

[@ChimeraActual]

Less than a minute to run a rack? Who does that?

[@MashrufulAdrito]

I knew only Efren Reyes is called the magician but why meiling is called magician recent days? Does anyone knows that?

[@jama211]

Well that's because english 8 ball is very different from american 8 ball.

[@robin_holden]

Because of the way he plays.

[@twkm05]

Pretty lazy compilation given you’ve included flukes and a number of pointless shots from Chris

[@twilh]

Reckon if he took up Snooker he'd batter Ronnie

[@C4rl0s-_-4R]

😂 he has been on the tour. Unfortunately didnt do very well.

[@fatroberto3012]

No pool player has ever succeeded playing snooker. It is incredibly difficult to adapt to tables where even just grazing the edge of the the inside jaw of a pocket inevitably sets your opponent up with an easy shot. That is the hardest thing to get used to, not the huge table.

[@C4rl0s-_-4R]

@@fatroberto3012 im confused who your are referring to? Melling? Melling plays snooker uk pool american pool and chinese pool. With alternate events from one week to the next. Mark selby started off playing uk 8 ball pool. Became a world champ in 2006. Moved on to snooker and has since been a 4 time world champion at snooker. Any cueist who is at the top of their game can adapt to another cue sport. It just requires a lot of practice and dedication

[@jama211]

@@fatroberto3012 The opposite is also true. Judd Trump got knocked out second round last time he tried pool ;)

[@TheRiderGuider]

NAH, no one batters Ronnie, however when Melling did try his hand at snooker he was very useful, I recall he's had maximum breaks in practice back in the day. The snooker tour is very different, the game is also different, Ronnie could compete at 8 ball but it's got a lot of intricacies that take years to understand, as does snooker and swapping between the two games is not an easy transition. I liken it to comparing darts and archery. I was a (UK) county standard pool player many years ago, could beat professional snooker players, but my snooker was nothing like, max break of 51 (although it was with mostly baulk colours). I love snooker, but 8 ball is just epic in my eyes. These guys these days are outstanding.

Great driving skills,earned freedom ticket by slipping cops,but stupid for endagering other lives.awesome car,speed and power though.wow

[@fnaah_au]

wat?

[@haydenwalton2766]

of course, a lot of these shots are amazing, but generally it's because he has got out of position. the very best generally dont

[@indolencegaming]

He is the very best and generally doesn't lose position

[@haydenwalton2766]

@@indolencegaming no he's not, and yes he sometimes does. if you'd watched his games you would know that many of these amazing shots (and they are btw) are a result of him losing position.

[@indolencegaming]

@@haydenwalton2766 You're gonna ignore all the matches he clears up without losing position? Also does it matter losing position when you can pull that out to entertain people, i'd prefer to watch him other than any other player any day

[@haydenwalton2766]

@@indolencegaming sure, he clears up racks a lot, but not as much as the very best. hence - he's not the very best. and, no doubt, he is very entertaining to watch. I watch him all the time. it's an interesting point you make though - does chris want to be the very best or the most entertaining ! I'm not sure
