The best you say? Obviously you haven’t seen that much.

@@gumaming which one is better?

@@aloysiusvo318 any Friday night bank ring game...Shane isn't a bank pool player....and short rack banks is like a crap shoot...

@@markhamblin1112 any link of a good one for me to watch?

@@aloysiusvo318 the BEST would have been Eddie "The Knoxville Bear" Taylor, or any black bank pool player, particularly from Chicago. Problem is Eddie was active before there were cameras everywhere, and he passed away some time ago. There's a video of Taylor giving pool stories, showing bank skills and how to bank video on KZfaq. As for black bank pool players, maybe start with Bugs Rucker. Thing is, black players play more bank pool and one pocket than whites or any other race for that matter. Some say (Kid Delicious book) it had to do with how back in the day you paid by the rack and a guy who worked for the pool hall racked for you. Well one pocket is the longest lasting game of Pool, banks are the main type of shot, and that's what black players played to extend the time of each rack. A single rack of one pocket can go for hours with high level players with exceptional safety skills.

My son is a jr. international champion and he beat Billy's team in Nebraska to win the national championship..ps my son was shooting out of shooters in olathe KS and Manny Perez was also a team mate and Danny owen from Nebraska My son beat to qualify for Jr nationals....He was taught by myself,Tom Rossman aka dr cue and the best bar box player in the world David Matlock.. Go Google the vena championship in Lincoln Nebraska he was there poster boy and was in almost every picture He played for The SHARP SHOOTERS from Shooters in olathe KS

His opening two games were ridiculous, I think he'd give me a run if he were playing banks and I was shooting direct, and I'm almost not kidding. Incredible level of play 10/12.

But his lack of patience and intermitent concentration came across as poor attitude which clearly cost him a US Open Bank Championship title. Boo, joker-Billy.

@@donaldhenak4585 I never witnessed a poor attitude, but maybe a little bit of over confidence. The only poor attitude I see is this dumbass comment, joker.

But threw the match. Not too funny!

When he tries.

americans really suck this guys dick way too much. he's barely even top 10 when you count all the european players

The commentary would be better if the commentator told us about the game, rather than wonderful people he knows. I'm interested in the game and the commentator is talking about people.

Betting his favorite might be one pocket, though he's obviously a beast in most all of them. Would be interesting to know.

@@MrJdsenior I think he said it was 8 ball.

@@drummingsamir I know some of them do like 8 ball, I think probably because they get so sick of rotation, since that appears to be far and away the most played in tournaments.

@@drummingsamir 8 ball is the most fun imo.. it includes strategy and skill.. One pocket is also a great game. I can't stand 9 ball tbh...

@@drummingsamir yea it’s bar table 8 ball

I didn't know Honolulu pool was a thing, but I made up a game almost identical to it that I play by myself sometimes. The only problem with Honolulu that I can see from reading the rules is that you put balls back on the table, and keep score, both of which are problems when playing on a bar table. Is there "Honolulu 8 ball" or "Honolulu 9 ball"? I could see it working for 8 ball, if you just eliminate the 8 ball requirement to hit your own ball first.

Yes indeed!!! Billy however might still be the best bank pool player, but he might rely on his banking talent a bit too much, whereas SVB's experience can manage the game better.

@@readynowforever3676 best comment award!

World Python no. Most high level players know where they hit on the cue ball depending on what happens when the cue ball hits the object ball and even if they know what type of english they are using it doesnt mean they can replicate their game

Need help with english

With enough experience you can easily tell where and how cue ball was struck

no. only true banks count. no caroms or combinations, either.

That's one of the hardest shots in pool

I know this is an old comment but, fast forward right before the end of the video, watch the last few seconds and click replay: no ads.

You win rack with 5 balls. There were only 4 balls on table when it was Shane's turn.

@@danieljackson7451 Now explain the one at 11:13.

puckerings It was made on the break. After the breakers turn is finished he has to spot all balls he made on the break in play.

Shot in the wrong hole

Pretty sure!

He shoots good banks and John is aging like Truman hogue did, took John time to get truman

i don't hear or see any double kiss

Nope. There were two sounds, The tip against the cue ball and the cue ball against the 8. 'Twas clean.

🖐️

Who play pool and smoke???

Was wondering the same thing

They are keeping score. Shane moves the ones he makes to the right, Billy to the left.

@@AlejandroInAustin Ah. Thanks!

Why are balls pulled out?
