Can we all acknowledge that Rollie paid the US Open 2020 $1000 entry fee to be absolutely destroyed? Press F to pay respects.

“Shot 50, this is my baby... and I’m a terrible father” 😂😂😂

As someone who plays out of Society Billiards, I can attest to the fact that Rollie has been working on the drill he learned from Ralph Eckert in the previous video. Every so often you see a faint outline of a square left in the center of the table as a sort of "Rollie was here" calling card.

Whenever Rollie uploads a new video, my day gets a whole lot better.

Remember the pros are playing with way faster cloths

"Shot 50, this is my baby" Misses "I'm a terrible father"

The thing that stands out to me is that you follow through the cue ball a good 12" where as AO barely follows through at all. Either way it's a cracking shot and you did well to replicate it at all; I doubt many others, even pros, would do the same in many less shots than yourself. Hats' off sir.

I became an empath at 6:43 😂 I love how much work you put into these experiments for us, and the humor & brilliant editing is what keeps me wanting more. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

It’s honestly just cool seeing your progress from video to video on how much better you’re getting with your shots.

Oh man, I wasn’t expecting that! Finally another video from my favourite average pool player.

I've seen every video. The final cut reel has great explanations as to what works and what doesn't. What's even more impressive, is that you are able to adjust when making all your attempts in real time at the table and remembering what you needed to do differently to recreate the shot. Pretty powerful skill to hone! Keep up the excellent work! TIL: decrease mayo, increase mustard

Im so Glad you made a video recreating this shot of Albin Ouschan cause this shot is my favorite

cheers from Pamplona, Spain. Really appreciate all the hard work you put in to show us how to respect and enjoy the game! lot of fun!!

I reckon 40 was probably okay, as even a player like Ouschan was probably going for either/or rather than that specific contact on the 2.

Mad respect for sticking with it until you're able to replicate the shot exactly. I expect this will up your game quickly overall. You do a great job keeping it interesting with your humor and editing skills too, very nice!

For some reason the bloke leaving at 9:05 just seems to make things that much more amusing. 😂

Some great shots at the start. That must be almost a be a record for the number of attempts. You really stuck with it and congrats for getting there in the end. 👍

This series can never get boring. Keep it up!

Woaaahh!! Congratulations Rollie for getting into the championship... we'll be rooting for You!

This is the first one of your videos I've seen. I *really* like the concept. I'm not a pool player, but I'm interested in watching Snooker, so I always wonder what the players are actually doing and/or thinking while planning their shots. It's really helpful having you try the same shot repeatedly and describe what's going wrong and right--that's one of the things missing from match commentaries. Thanks muchly!

I love pool and learn a lot from even just watching these videos Rollie. Keep up the work brotha!

Great stuff as always, Rollie! Best of luck at the US Open, and if you get the time and haven't yet, I'd like to see the Chris Melling 4-rail one-ball shot vs. Mika Immonen. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

To be fair, I'm impressed you were able to do it at all on that cloth! Remarkable! I imagine, dont know for sure, that the slicker and faster cloth albin had makes it a smidge easier but he did get it on try 1. Still impressive. Love your videos and commentary!

Love these type of videos dude, good luck in the tournament.

Love this series so much

Wow... the shot in the 1920s. Trying a shot for over a century? Now that’s commitment.

Still waiting on that Alain Martel rail jump shot Rollie! You can do it brother! Great vid as always!

nice shot from albin - blew my mind when i saw it the first time - truly an amazing shot!

All the best bro for the tournament!

I love that mustard meter hahahaha

just another awesome video by Rollie always a good watch

OK, I have to admit that I laughed out loud on the 1920's playback. I was not expecting that. I also laughed at all the beeping when you missed and ranted. (not sure what that says about me...sigh) Thanks for another great video!!

MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!!!!

Please, please, pleeeease make more than 1 video in this series per 4 months! They are awesome!

Awesome i remember asking you to try this shot thanks again great job keep it up!

Welcome back mate! A couple of comments I wanted to share: 1) Being an average player myself, this shot seems a lot harder than the Efren trick shots, which you just need to get the hang of. Said differently, it can take you another 50 shot to pot the ball here again, while you probably would be able to pull off some of the other shots more consistently. 2) I look forward to you crushing the above average players in the tournament, would be sick if you can pull off some of the shots you trained :D 3) I'm sure you have fun with Florian and the rest (who is a really nice dude btw, I've talked to him briefly) but this series is the one which created your hype and the one we like (e.g., only here you can make jokes about the casino, baby, etc.). 4) Happy new 2020 year dude! Cheers, gishena

It’s about time a video came out!

Dude your awesome Rollie.. love the vids

you really found your stride with this one man, keep it up

Very much enjoy your "lessons!" Very helpful. Thank you.

Another brilliant video

For some reason I find these videos very relaxing

Love this!

This is great. I admire your patience! Looks like Jasmine played that badass shot on a Chinese table with tight pockets!

This is a really enjoyable video concept for billiards. I also owe Society Billiards one for hosting my party in their enclosed section too. 🎱👍

Probably the best shot i have ever seen in terms of difficulty.. And one of the best in terms of looks and wow factor.

Good luck & have fun at the tournament.

bro I always wanted you to try this one out, so glad you finally did! I still think even about 50 tries is ok on this shot, as it is just straight out of hell impossible shot, cant wait to give it like billion tries and then maybe be make it lol

Rollie my man, u forgot to factor in the fact that Albin was playing on a brand new table with a brand new cloth. Basically, it plays a lot different than yours. New cloth means the balls skid/slide a bit more and it's also way faster.

“My baby is going to college” 😂 I’m actually dead. I love this

Great shooting. Feel like you basically got it on 40 but I would imagine Albin may have played to get on the 2 to bottom left like you did multiple times before that. Reckon you got his intention on shot 15. Great shot to watch and well done!

Thanks for the tip on GO Customs will take a look at them!

Love the new shaft. I ordered mine as a Christmas present, still waiting for delivery.

Such a legendary shot

That’s awesome that ur in the us open good luck bro

Great work fella

a great recreation of a tough shot

Just love your video

Now that is some dedication.

This are the best videos everrrr

Good luck in the open buddy!!!

Amazing consistency on those pots!

I think the pro player's shot was luck or a fluke. He was hoping to come back down table but the cue ball hit the point which rebounded it back to the side rail which pushed it into the two ball. 52 tries to mimic a fluke shot. That shows your dedication to the craft. I'm just happy to do a full table draw shot.

Professional lessons, drunk history style, do it. Put these people on our level.

We want this every week !!!!!!!!!!Please

Brilliant video..

thank you i really wait your video always

Hey rollie...I was watching a video of "the best shots of the decade" or something, and saw earl strickland make a jump shot from corner to corner (top to bottom, opposite sides). The real difficulty is how he had so much back spin on the cue ball that it draws full table right back to where it started. Maybe give the shot a try for your next video?

Yes I love these videos and he hasent posted one in forever

Great perseverence. Filerious, comments cracked me up 🤣😹

taking part in a tournament "your average pool player"

Another awesome vid! Albin's the man and always has been, thanks for showing him respect. Next time make it easy on yourself Rollie, your one-ball is too far to the left and too far up table. I know I'm splitting hairs but it looks like at least half to three quarter's of an inch difference both ways. Look at 9:35 frame and you'll see it. Not hating on you, in fact you made a much harder shot because you had more of the 3-ball to clear and more angle for the spin to take. AWESOME shot Rollie!!!

Your consistency is getting better rollie.

What would be pretty cool to add when you make these videos, is a diagram of a cueball and where you hit the cue ball showing how much spin you put on the shot. Thanks!

“Everything is working together as a team to fuck me up”...🤣 Love this guy

There is definitely some amazing gifts and skill in the pool universe. Really enjoy your vids and your persistemce. I think you have some natural ability that would be more evident if you spent 8-10 hours a day on the table like the pros do.

“I work for kamui, let’s advertise a different company”

Love this haha,you're hilarious

i love how every 30th shot is just a mess...

You are funny as (bleep) haha I'm now going to watch all your videos! :)

Finally he made a video of doing shots

I've been trying this one as well. I'm currently on attempt 217. :/

hey Rollie, good videos! i just wanna suggest that the final position of that shot is very likely out of the control of Albin, so I think you're good as long as you get position or is on about the same line.

nice shooting man

I would take position you managed on shot 41 any day of the week and twice on Sunday! Probably what Albin was looking for as well.

i know it’s a snooker shot, but a lot of guys there play a shot where they’re straight on a ball into the middle and screw back and use the aw of the middle plocket to come back up table. would love to see that!

Man pros are friggin good 👍👍👍✌️😁 awesome

Damn bro you’ve gotten so good

My god I laughed my ass off at your commentary I instantly subscribe

Great videos. Would love to know what software you use especially with the overlay. Thanks.

I love these videos I’ve picked up pool and found you and feels better amongst the really good players I know. You should do a give away I don’t personally have a cue but it would be awesome for your old cue :)

Best KZfaq channel in the world

Hey Rollie there is a shot made by Shane van Boening in the 2014 world cup of pool. He partnered Earl strickland against England. The shot I want you to recreate is hit power shot into the bottom corner and run 4 rails around, with top english, for position at the head rail for the next shot. Please do this. Also do an everyday carry with your cues and case, I'd love to know what cues you have.

I literally just paid Goran for my shaft. Can’t wait to try it out!

I think part of the difference between his shot and yours is your bridge technique. He keeps his bridge closer to the tip of the cue giving him more control. When I slow your shots down, there is often quite a bit of play in your follow through, which suggests there's probably variance in your stroke. Watch his stroke: it doesn't wobble on the follow through at all, it's under 100% control at all times which gives him 100% precision. If you can perfect that one thing, I think you will get much more consistent and reproducible shots. I love watching this series, please keep them coming, Rollie!

I was cracking up more than once on this one lol

Nicely done, Rollie. I had my money on triple digits...

Very nice

You made that shot happen more than once... Think of it this... Not even Albin would have been able to hit it exactly like he did every time. The fact that you got the ball there and had a shot is what matters. Keep shooting man, well done.

I think shot depends on lots of things like: your cues, cue tip, cloth table, balls, humid cloth and of coz your pool skill but can not forget a lucky also. Obviously Albin is great pool player. But i like Mika Immonen’s play style. He had a lot of trick shot too. P/s: Lot of respect for your trying :)
