Karch Kiraly & Doble vs. Dax & Fonoi in the Final from Santa Barbara 2003.

This 10 min. clip has many good digs and rallies. Brant Lee fails to call a bad set and
gets yelled at by Dax and Eric. It's not really his fault, he's just not paying attention.

[@MAMP]

These guys are incredible beyond belief. Elite.

[@neilhokanson3500]

Karch's passing of some serious heat was epic.

[@NormMarquardson]

Great stuff. Karch's D and quick reflexes were amazing.

[@MAMP]

Karch gets so many digs/touches on defense. What an animal.

[@tadsagonhagaenkub7518]

We love kiraly

[@TheCwebb4]

@hicsuntleones that's because they could deep dish set back then. In court setting you can have spin in beach you can't. That's why deep dish is legal

[@2Swift4u]

nice footage!! I was there in '99, when karch won aswell.

[@vbsand5882]

Insande - Do you know or have Phil and Todd big comeback match against John Hyden? I think 2009 and I think in SB?

[@otherflavio]

The best thing of the clip!

[@misanthrophes]

@okballer probably too much rotation. Look like it spun too much out of his fingers

[@barkingspider403]

Strange partnerships. I never saw Karch play with Doble or Dax with Eric. Notice that these guys could play defense without slopping up the ball the way they do these days. God I loved East Beach.

[@okballer]

@misanthrophes Why was that an illegal set?

[@MrGzps3]

"It's not really his fault, he's just not paying attention" - Yea, except that he's being paid (not enough I'm sure) to do one thing: Pay Attention! If it's not his fault, whose is it?

[@sam55246]

mistakes happen

[@jediprettyboy]

MrGzps3 It was sarcasm because B Lee has a long long history of falling asleep at the wheel. Back in the day, Hovland nearly tore B Lee a new one quite a few times. What Dax did here was mild.

[@spikeithard9]

BEAUTiful hit at 3:16

[@mobstamaniac]

But what the heck is the ref saying after that hit???

[@wxyztu]

set looked pretty ok???

[@7DrK7]

3:56 what's happened there?

[@Wingnutinca]

At about 4:00, Karch digs a ball and Doble chucks up a bad set that wasn't called. Dax and Fonoi get a yellow for arguing.

[@Iffy50]

I sat behind Brent Doble in Modal Analysis in college. ha ha

[@MAMP]

Parading these guys in on the back of a truck seems ridiculous.

[@symons1012]

quick set at 1:06. 8O

[@RonBrah]

nice dobie

[@okballer]

@misanthrophes Ahhh ok yea I can see that. Thanks.

[@misanthrophes]

an illegal set. read the description

[@NinoDiVenanzio]

each set looks like a lift...

[@jediprettyboy]

hicsuntleones Just deepdishing to prevent any rotation on the ball after release. An unfortunate result of the 80s thanks to guys like Frohoff. If you want to see perfect beach setting that would even be legal indoors AND have little to no rotation, then look up old Stoklos matches. I always thought Karch had good and quick form as well.
