That's the best pool commentary I've heard! Also, not having seen this level bank pool, I had assumed a higher percentage of pots. So there's hope for the mediocre among us!

Short Rack Banks has been around for loooong time. This match is from the Derby City Classic, which is started in 1999. But they were playing short rack banks long before that. In years before, the common banks game would be full-rack (15 balls). Billy has won the Derby City Banks title before. Efren’s best finish was runner up (twice).

He has the perfect voice and demeanor AND knowledge of the rolls. It is not merely knowledge of the game, he has deep knowledge of the ball rolls too and elucidates it very well. Instead of a radio disc jokey or a play by play baseball announcer, he has a much more even tone. I can see the channel name and logo. Pool loving birds sitting on a perch, discussing the game. Almost any bird... just not a vulture.

Bata didn’t even play in the US until he was in his 40’s. I imagine his prime started well before then and has lasted all the way until what, maybe 2-4 years ago or so. He’s admitted his vision isn’t the best anymore and he isn’t playing as much as he used to but I still see him playing in some large int’l events and playing in multiple games at events. Perhaps his Efran prime has passed and he’s now just playing at the level of other players primes hahaha.

GEEZ, how does anyone beat Thorpe when he's playing like that in those first two games? A pro master class, there. Billy's later four railer was a thing of beauty. "He's body Englished that ball straight into the hole". How come that virtually never works for me, not in ANY sport? :-) That two holding up on Efren in the corner, 4th game, really surprised me. They were playing tight for new cloth, that's for sure. Jaw those balls much at all and they just stand proud. At 2-0 I said to my wife that even Efren was probably cooked, unless he really came alive and Billy went cold...should have known better. To the hill-hill point, anyway. Thanks for the commentary, Scott, and yeah, Rail birds does a great job for a relatively shoestring operation, especially. I gave you the like, and I don't hand those out like candy. Fun match, including the safety work. Lengthen with a high cue ball? Now that is NOT what I would expect. I would expect the opposite. I'm going to have to work that one out, from a physics standpoint.
