ABSOLUTE PERFECTION | FEDOR GORST PERFECT SET vs OSCAR DOMINGUEZ | Brendan Crockett Memorial

[@sabrewolf479]

I don't know how many 1000's of hours I've watched Earl Strickland, Efren Reyes, Johnny Archer, Mike Siegal, SVB and so on play, and I have never seen anyone play more perfectly than this.

[@tarlkudrick1174]

When Buddy Hall was playing at his best, he made every shot look like he had ball in hand. But yes, Gorst was about as perfect as it's possible to be.

[@dustintrujillo6656]

Idk me personally Id take Earl in his prime over anyone. I also got hustled by Svb in 2005 and watching him play was unreal.

[@eliaspacheco6351]

That's 10ball game tho, more ball more playes

[@billsmith8825]

I saw Mike Siegel run a nine pack on Nick Varner and Nick Varner was titty hooked and did a two-rail kick into the 2 ball, making it into the side, then he ran run a nine pack to tie it back up. This was in the 90s. The pockets may have been a little bit bigger back then, but the cloth was slower.

[@sabrewolf479]

@@billsmith8825 I saw that too. I’m not saying the greatest play where you have to make amazing shots, I’m saying perfect play where you make zero mistakes. I think Gorst got on the wrong side of the ball twice in this match. Those were his only mistakes and he ran out anyway.

[@leoperezcomedy]

HOLY SHIT! That 4 rail bank to end it all was simply sensational. Fedor Gorst is an absolute BEAST.

[@nimeshpatel4572]

I'd say defo best in the world and not just because of what we see in this vid - he's also amazing in other disciplines e.g. one pocket (a real deal game). And seems like a nice guy too, just works hard at everything, literally on a table 24/7. He's also very watchable. Not had it easy either (read a long article about him in a billiards mag a while back).

[@marktree887]

[@rhyschen]

This is how high level pool should be played Oscar had his chances three to be exact 1. The Lag 2. The two rail kick 3. The Straight back one ball bank shot or safe which he didn't know if he wanted to, bank it or play safe. He was indecisive on that one. And Fedor ran a 4 pack (break & run) not five (5). At 2-0 Fedor played a push-out Oscar went for the bank and safe then Fedor banked the one in the side then ran out but wasn't a break n run to make it 3-0 after which he ran the set out! Thus 4 pack not 5

[@sethh8892]

what rules are they playing by??? the two and three should always be wing balls, and there has to be a rail after contact with the object ball

[@williamstdog9]

I don’t give a S--T: Alex did the right thing by picking Alcaide. FSR being a rookie NEEDED his counterpart to break him in, and as champions of the WCoP they BOTH do deserve to be there as the best teammates - as well on their own merit, as David has obviously won even more over the years than FSR. Therefore, even though I AGREE that Fedor *ON HIS OWN* should have gotten the nod due to his scorching play as of late, the captain has to PICK A COHESIVE TEAM… once again “TEAM” and so I wish Gorst the best in the coming 12 months and would obviously love to see him in the MC once again! 👍

[@johndenver752]

I see your point, but i disagree with respect. its as if you send a seal team to battle without their semi-automatic ar15 rifle, because the Springfield 8 round rifle is closer in nature to the sidearm they carry...if my analogy makes sense.

[@juliejones8785]

What is Fedor putting under the cue ball during his break?

[@thewizard6092]

A piece of cloth, the same as the table. Clubs usually keep these pieces of cloth that are left over. Players use it for the break in order to avoid damaging the table cloth, especially if they hit low on the break. Sometimes it's used for jumps as well in clubs, though I haven't seen the pros do it, only on the break.

[@ozunababy8078]

When I'm in a match playing someone like this i just say I'm not even playing I'm just watching. He is pretty much playing by himself

[@b4ssfunk3d]

Happened to me playing against a 719 Fargo. I missed 3 shots that sealed the whole match for me. Only 3 misses... that and a key 8 ball - 9 ball runout I should have had but I lost the cue ball off the table after trying to draw really hard for the 9. After every missed shot it was a runout for my opponent. I won 1 rack he won 8 to beat me

[@smk3352]

OMG fedor good job😂❤

[@kelvikelv5322]

Once the music started playing, I hit "like"

[@nineballjunky]

Dang! Oscar stroked the cue twice in the whole set. Once in game 2 when he missed a two-rail kick, and once in game 3 when he barely missed a safety on the 1-ball. I guess he could have lagged better. Fedor's lag was definitely beatable. 😁

[@nineballjunky]

From the exact moment Fedor hit the 1st break shot to the moment Oscar threw in the towel was 24 mins 53 secs. 😮

[@johnkraft6053]

I love how Oscar tried to take some of the sting out of it at the end by conceding, (can’t blame him) and then fedor goes and does THAT 🤯

[@michelviens57]

whats with the napkin under the cue ball at the break ?

[@dzarren]

That's a piece of pool table cloth. If you break hard from the same place, it will eventually wear out the cloth right on that spot, especially with guys that jack up the cue a bit when breaking.

[@jeffboswell68]

And even if you don't angle down very much, the cue ball actually burns the cloth, ever so slightly. Over time it wears a thin spot and misdirects any ball rolling over it. I've played at a few "high-end" halls that actually have rack girls and they require a break pads.

[@JqckStin]

How was Fedor able to hit the 6ball first after the break on the 3rd rack? Can someone explain

[@post-up]

Players have the option to “push out” on the shot immediately after the break. If the player calls a push out they can push the cue ball to any position on the table with no restrictions on which ball they must hit and without any need to contact a rail. After the push out the incoming player has the option to shoot the shot from the position it was push to, or force the player who pushed to shoot the shot that they created.

[@aronhegedus]

why doesn't he pot the last 10 sometimes? Did his opponent concede? Didn't know that was a thing

[@thewizard6092]

Yes, after one of he frames you can see Oscar raising his hand. Otherwise, you have to make the shot, no matter how easy it is. You can do this at some tournaments, but at the top level, you cannot concede a frame, only the match. At least I think so. That's also why Fedor played the 10 four rails.. It was for the spectators, even if he had missed, Oscar already conceded the match. So it's more of entertaining the crowd, since it's not all that difficult, rather than rubbing it in or showboating, as some people might seem to think. Great of him to pot it though on the first try. He played flawlessly. Truly a master!

Lee's place in Seminole,Fla but didn't win the tournament.....LOL....this is not unusual

[@KalabWashburn]

Winner breaks is the most antiquated and absolute worst format. This happens regularly with high level players. Not taking anything away from the amazing skill. But this is more like watching someone practice than a match. Not a very legitimate competition if one person is aloud to break and run out literally every game.

[@nimeshpatel4572]

Correct - I don't think the winner breaks format has a place in pool where the game is trying to become a 'professional' sport if that makes sense. Has to be alternate and a lot of older generation players agree.

[@b4ssfunk3d]

I'm with you, and in a recent tournament I played in it was alternating break. It's just kind of tiring and drawn out to remember whose break it is when you're dead focused and you win a rack then you have to turn it over to your opponent. There should be a good system implemented so it's automated at the table too.
