APA 9-Ball Match | Randy Mallett (SL8) vs Austin Bridges (SL7)

[@Amateur_Pool]

Bruhhhh... homeboy was making shapes that he had nooo business making (by accident).. some of the luckiest play I've seen in a while.. well done on the video!

[@randymallett]

Hey Josh! Yeah....lol. It happens I guess. Hopefully it happens to me in the next match. 😅

[@FlacoSalsero]

Thanks for sharing Randy. I lost my match last week 17-3 against a SL5 vs SL4. It was devastating. This video has helped me put my loss into better perspective.

[@randymallett]

Thanks so much for that! Yes, as pool players, we ALL have a bit of an ego. So it's good to get humbled every once in a while, lol.

[@ldelcors]

Tought match! I'm a SL4 over here in VA and went up against a SL3 and she just went bananas on me!! I lost 18-2 and she just played like a 5. It happens, you showed lots of humility great to see!!

[@randymallett]

Thanks so much! Appreciate that. Yeah, very tough. Especially knowing I had the MVP in the bag, but this sunk my PPM. LOL. I've won most matches against Austin, and I'd say IMHO, that I'm the better player. But he hit a gear that night - plus got lucky. Nothing you can do but sit back and watch (and contemplate quitting pool forevor), lol. Na, Austin's a great guy and a great player. I'm glad I could make him look so good. Hahaha.

[@AdamMarr]

Austin was making the shots that mattered, and hitting the banks, but man, dude must have sacrificed his first born to the pool gods the night prior. The rolls were insane. I never blame people for good rolls, it eventually goes both ways, but you handled it much better than i would have, would have been very frustrated.

[@randymallett]

Man, what you said. 😂 Appreciate ya watching. Even if it was the worse loss I ever had, lol.

[@TheMysticSpade]

This is how my APA 9 ball match went this past sunday. My opponent was just on while I couldn't catch a roll at all it was a 7 / 7 match.

[@randymallett]

Hopefully it's our turn in our next match. ;-)

[@rickwilliams3515]

Dang bro, Like I tell my buds on a shooting day like that whether golf or pool . " Don't come down to my level" ..lol

[@drewvonporte]

..... that is rough, Randy. Ha! Hopefully the Scales of Justice swing favorably on your next bout with him. Them's the breaks right??

[@randymallett]

Ha, yeah. He's a good dude so I don't mind losing to him. Shame though bc I was in the running for MVP (was in 1st), but a 19-1 loss drops me substantially. 😦

[@alpe6228]

5:08 very nice shot with position.

[@randymallett]

I think he over hit it, and got lucky on position. 😜

[@jimrussell1246]

20-0 or 19-1? Either way that was brutal! lol

[@randymallett]

19-1. Yeah, it happens. Just gotta tip your cap (and maybe win the lag next time). 🫠

@@randymallett Thanks for posting this video. I feel your pain. I just got whipped badly. This video helps me to understand that we all through this at some point.

​@JKinLVN Yes sir, just gotta forget it and move on to the next match. Thanks for the watch!​@@JohnBowl14690

If I were petty, I'd list all the videos I've recorded where I beat Austin.

I am that petty..... LOL. (BTW Austin and I are good friends and have the utmost respect for each other. So please don't take this as a cheap shot at my opponent. Well, ok, it IS a cheap shot. But it's one of my only shots since AUSTIN BARELY MISSED A FREAKIN SHOT THIS MATCH.) 😂
