This should be fun. I was a player myself back in the day and I get a kick out of watching these video's because I can stop the video, look over the layout and decide what I would have done. I don't know if it's just me but the color of the balls aren't very clear to me and it throws me off. But, it's still fun.

48:15 Straight up Lloyd Christmas takes a seat behind the head of the table. 😂

Honestly Corteza is one of the finnest current cue artist from the Philippines. I wonder why he doesnt win any major tournament suchlike US OPEN, and WPC yet. I hope this year he can capture the US OPEN and the WPC early nextyear.

Lee Vann playing with a beautiful Deviney cue! Mika's custom made Mezz isn't bad either, I've seen them up close...♥️🙏🇺🇸

Corteza is the perfect embodiment of a real sportsman. He is cool and composed. There are athletes who are spoil sports in the sense that they are bitter in defeat.

[@jackjohn3035]

Lee Van is a bad dude!

Good Evening

Danny and Mark are my favorite commentary duo!

Corteza has only gotten better

Why an illegal brake ? He made a ball.

Crazy 3-point rule. Need 3 points: balls pocketed are points and balls that pass the headstring are points. You need three. Stupid rule. that we do not use anymore at the International 9-Ball Open.

"Disrespectful to the sport?" [Hitting the table with your cue] First; these guys jump on the table.The crowds during Mosconi heckle like their on meth. Players yell and/or act like they just scored a touchdown. Secondly, i view billiards as a "game', not a sport. I can barely call baseball a sport. Football and basketball are sports. Pool used to be a "gentlemen's 'game'", now it resembles rollerball in many instances.

Try and play 6 or 7 matches in a day, like you have to in a weekend tournament! Starting at say 9 am, and still playing, ( top notch) at 10 pm, your physically tired, and your mind is mush! Even if it's 4 or 5 matches, you have to wait around, eat right, try not to get to hopped up on coffee or energy drinks, last time I made it that far on Saturday, I'm playing Santos to get into the money, I'm trying to eat while I'm playing, I had him, but I just ran out of gas...

[@joevalentin2450]

Sports is the Genus while Pool is a specie of it.

Foul at 1:25:00?
