[@edhartgrove7552]

♥♥ NOTE: At the 1:13:35 mark in the video, they reset the shot clock, which gives Efren 60 seconds to shoot. BUT, the referee hasn't even spotted the ball that Scott had made in a neutral pocket. That shot clock shouldn't start UNTIL the referee finishes spotting the ball.

[@niektegenligger7741]

you are right. doesn't matter for Efrens shot though, he didn't had to rush. but he gave the red a sideway glance I noticed the second time around I watched this. Thanks to you. thanks LOL

1:50:00 SHOT OF THE MATCH

[@roblarkin6378]

thanks for posting. they both didn't play their best but still entertaining

[@foodini]

That bottom-right pocket is tilted away from the camera. There've been a couple slow rolls that curved away from that pocket. Just saw another at about 30:50. You can see it on the shooter's face after the miss. I pulled a few frames from the shot and lined up the left-hand-side of the ball. The line created in the first half-second of the roll does not predict the line taken for the rest of it. The deviation is less than a centimeter (he would have missed, anyway) but it's there.

[@finchisneat]

For all the people complaining, who is holding a gun to your head to make you watch this? There's only millions of hours of content on KZbin, maybe watch something else?... Pretty wild thought I know.

[@cocoyrefugio329]

[@jasonramirez2917]

At 9:40 in the video. Efrens bank shot reveals that the table was not playing level near his pocket. That is huge, when playing one pocket in my opinion.

[@niltomega2978]

Did the ball roll crooked at 9:38 ? Uneven table? watch the 1 ball as it stops

[@TheCeedub]

[@stevestewart6287]

Love the shot by Scott Frost at 54:51, Efren loved it too.

[@brandon12316]

at 1:32:11, Frost laid his stick on the table to fetch an extension. the shot clock reset to 60 seconds but why did the shot clock not begin counting down while he was clearly using up his own time? He could have grabbed a bridge easily enough but still, should be on his own time either way. and then at 1:37:20 approximately, after Frost breaks, the clock is already counting down on Efron while Frost is still circling the table. Quite a lot of bias from the judges against Efron I'd say

[@AccuStats]

Timekeeper fell asleep.

[@jasonyea7649]

Was that a joke or did he actually fall asleep

I hadn't noticed before that the 8 moves twice. How the hell did a ref not catch this? Given the bridging challenge on the shot, there is NOTHING else more important for the ref to have been watching for and he missed three fouls?

[@TampaTayza]

Many of these shots seem unremarkable but executed under pressure. These guys are still great players to me.

[@ammoalamo6485]

If you think one-pocket is not exciting, let tell me about Reyes fighting back from way down to make it 6-6, then Frost getting and making a difficult long shot cut bank for 7-6, and an absolutely fabulous cue ball kick into a length-of-table one-rail bank to win the game 8-6 - but it just fell short by six inches. After trading safeties Frost had a sensational shot for the win: a twice-length-of-table double bank for the win. Whooie. Frost made the shots look easy, and I guess they might be easy for him (and Efren, too) since they are common one-pocket shots, but still low percentage, especially that kick-bank from the head of the table into a corner pocket nine feet away, and the winning shot a backward double bank twice the length of the table.

if that player frost would not give up table after he misses by standing behind bata than bata should step on his foot.

[@niektegenligger7741]

this is the first time I watched one-pocket pool. Great tactical game. I wondered about Efrens shot 1:30:00 in did he scratch the white on purpose and made it a perfect tactical shot? the ball he potted (and he couldn't prevent leaving it for Frost anyway) didn't count because he scratched the cue ball. And the commentators didn't pick up on it? Or do I need to learn the rules better?

[@edhartgrove7552]

Spookrijder tegenligger ● No. Because Efren made a ball in Scott's pocket, Scott gets to keep it. Because Efren "scratched" the cue ball, he "owes" a ball to his score. If he has one or more balls that he's already made, they spot one of Efren's previously made balls. If he doesn't have any previously made balls, he "owes" a ball - which means he will have to make 9 balls, instead of 8, to win. Let's say a player has "fouled" 4 times during a game. And, let's say that player hasn't made any balls yet. Each time he fouls, you'll see them put a coin on their side of the table. That's a reminder that they "owe" however many balls they owe. When they finally DO make a ball (or, balls), when they're done shooting that "inning" at the table, they'll "spot" however many balls they owe (and remove a coin for each one they've spotted). ● There's a (somewhat) infamous one pocket match here on KZbin, where Scott Frost took so many "fouls" - on purpose - that he "owed" something like 10 balls. He had SO MANY pennies on the table that he had to make 2 stacks of them. Sometimes a player thinks it's to his benefit to owe balls, rather than shoot something that will give the opponent a chance to make a good shot. If you're new to one pocket, watch some more games. Eventually you'll understand what's going on. Enjoy!

Efren keeps getting frustrated because frost keeps walkin in his line of sight during shots and standing behind him. Frost is doing it on purpose.

[@steves2241]

Frost is a jerk and a cry baby, he thinks he is the best 1 pocket player in the world, when he is not, Efren is better than he is. He is walking around the table after he shoots, and he even stood behind Efren when Efren was waiting to shoot. If I were Efren I would have told him to sit his big ass down after his shot is over, and tell him to stop standing behind him.

@@rogerscottcathey In order to get the ball to find the 2 rail pocket at that angle though, wouldn't he need to cancel the running english? I think with running, the object ball would have hit a couple of diamonds up the long rail.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@neuvocastezero1838: It wasnt extreme, maybe one tip left, half or 1 tip low, kills the rebound of cue ball. Didnt hit super hard either, but object ball with spin will travel. That is what I seem to see looking at replay. Try using .25x

[@rogerscottcathey]

See how cue ball nearly stops. At that angle, the natural tendency is for the cue to deflect about 30°< and even a center hit on cue ball, the contact will induce spin clockwise spin. But for object ball to realize sufficient rotation a little help is needed by the cue ball. The diamond spot he aimed at has the natural result to find the diagonal path.
