OTBNtv: Battle of Montana pool stream

August 10th, 2009

This is a challenge match organized by onthebreaknews.com. It is a race to 21 10 ball match between two Montana players, I presume. Jack Madden is a strong player with some history of playing in big events in the past. He also makes custom cues under the name of John Madden cues. You can check out his cues at JohnMaddenCues.com. His opponent is Jack Boucher. He’s a local player and, apparently, an avid BCA pool league player.Game: 10 Ball (race to 21)Equipment: Unknown (8ft…I think…pockets look huge)Players: Jack Boucher vs. Jack MaddenTournament: Challenge MatchYear: 2008Commentators: Ambient sound + some commentaryWarm-up and IntroductionMatch Part 1Match Part 2Match Part 3Match Part 4Match-Part 5Let me know what you thought.

August 9th, 2009

This is a pool match pitting two legendary players… Rodney Morris takes on Earl Strickland in a winners-side matchup at the 2008 U.S. Open 9 Ball championship. This is a video of the complete race to 11 match. You have to watch just to see what sort of weird accessories “The Pearl” is going to sport. He always brings an assortment of gloves, wraps, tape and even finger-extensions. The promo for the match is quite long. If you want to skip to the beginning of the match, fast-forward to around 6:30 time-frame.Game: 9 BallEquipment: Diamond TablesPlayers: Earl Strickland vs. Rodney MorrisTournament: U.S. Open 9-Ball ChampionshipYear: 2008Commentators: Danny DiLiberto & Jimmy WychLet me know what you though of this match…Cheers,Skippy

August 8th, 2009

This is a pool match from the 2008 U.S. Open 9 Ball Championship. This match features one of my favorite players, Rodney Morris. He is matched-up with Danny Harriman. Both of these guys are in-stroke and playing well in this match. It is a race to 11 games. Danny’s break was STRONG in this match. That is one thing that stood out to me. That’s my ROCKET…What a comeback!! Snaps-off 7 with Danny on the hill to win. Danny’s gotta kick himself after that one.Let me know what you thought of this match.Cheers,Skippy
