I agree, but It's tough for a beginner one hole player to pick up on what's basic when watching Alex pick apart racks

A lot of those matches are very good to watch, but if your watching to learn the game try to get one with good commentary, which of course opens another can of worms.
The Efren v Shannon match from Galveston has some fantastic one pocket only thing that would make it better would be if it was available in better than 260p.
I recently watched a POV pool match that had Jerry Manchin doing the commentary and I really enjoyed it.

If your wish is to learn more about 1Pocket, one way is to chose a match that has superb commentators! It does not have to be a match with great 1Pocket players, or even good 1Pocket play. If the commentators are good, you may, perhaps, learn more about the game in less time than watching a superb game with no comments.
Having commentators who can expertly describe the play makes for an enjoyable educational experience.
But your quote (above) did not mention commentators.

Is this the 20k match i ca?
I thought it was kinda weak.
Alex was dialed in on that table and scott couldnt make a ball in his own damn underwear.
I beat people who play as poorly as scott did and i got no business playing him in real life.

It was 50k I think. Been a while but i think it was 100k in the middle?
I'm gonna say I think again just to stress the fact that I think and I can't remember. Lol

The best match was filmed on Accustats.
I bought it over the weekend.
It has Efren playing Alex, and then Efren playing Jason Miller in the finals, several years ago at DCC.
It was without a doubt the best one-pocket I have ever seen, and I am an old fart.
Pay the $15 (i did) to get the DVD and help those who help our sport.
JMO,

Is that the one where efren ends up 3games winner in about 18min...includin pening and closing credits?
I think that's tha one where Efren kept putting Alex in impossible situations...
...and Alex keeps smiling in admiration at the Old Master's talent.
It's a great tape.

Efren Reyes vs. Chris Gentile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6A1QCJTdBU
This is the match that got me into the game. Commentary by Billy Incardona, Scott Frost and Corey Deuel.
If you're curious or just learning about 1p this is a good place to start, as the three of them discuss all types of options and opinions over the shots and strategies.
Also funny to hear Scott bagging on Corey for many of his "creative" choices.

Efren vs Grady
That is the short teaser. To watch the full version it is On Demand now. Here is the link. 2 hours of the best racks between these one pocket machines. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/frostjoyner
Yes, one of the more interesting commentaries out there, three different points of view
worth watching
Lenny..You co-commentated the above match..Its true, neither 1P Rich, nor Little Al shoot as well as the very top pros, but for a guy trying to learn the game, they both move as good as anyone!..Much easier and more realistic, to learn from someone who does not rely on cueball wizardry, like Efren, Alex P, or Scott Frost! :thumbup:
PS..Watch it again..you may have forgotten how well they both moved, every shot!

You asked in such a way that the response has to be the most awesome, unobtainable feat. I see many helpful posters giving all kinds of good ones, but you want the magic one. I'd hope you also want the less-than-magical ones for obtainable learning purposes.
For the uber magical, head-shaking you'll never get there DVD, I'll repeat one that's already been mentioned (Ken 4 Fun): Efren vs Alex semi-final DCC followed by Efren's demolishing of Jason Miller in the finals. But this would be from Accustats, not YouTube, so I'm also violating your question.
Alex played some amazing one pocket and really showed what he was capable of doing in one pocket in this match. Efren still could give him 8-7 at the time, but that gap was closing.
They both play shots that are beyond mortals, but you can see how powerful those shots are.... if we could only have such cueball control. Most of us don't have that cueball control, so if you decide to use those moves in a game, you might be shooting yourself in the foot.
Freddie <~~~ with holes in feet
Cmon, fred...admit it: those phd 1p shots work ut at least 14% of the time, for us hacks.
Not all is lost...unless you bet it all, of course.

Yes that is a good match to learn from without question. I like One Pocket Rich and his game, very solid player and nice guy too.
That match would have looked waaaay differant on a table with something other then 4" pockets. I was watching them move and thought they should be shooting. Turned the volume on and heard "yes this table has 4" pockets".
That is not a good option for a trnmnt table.
