Ronnie Allen vs Danny D. 1P Wow!

[GorstyBoy]

Stumbled upon another old video. I had never seen Ronnie Allen play before. I know the pockets are larger than today's usual, but wow! These guys are swinging at very low percentage shots and nailing them! Sharing this link somewhere in the middle because the intro is long:

I bought the DVD set from Jay Helfert years ago. The YOUTUBE video is a shorter version. Fun match to watch!

Ronnie was unique player.

I grew up playing at the Golden Eight Ball in Phoenix and was in the room when this was showcased (over several days), and I kick myself in the butt for not more paying attention to this match at the time. This is truly a masterclass in how two very experienced one-pocket players move.

just watched a little again. those pockets made the grand canyon look snug.

just goes to show how great those players were back then playing on wet slow tables with no air conditioning most times. both danny and ronnie were on the downside of their careers there.

notice how quickly they played and made it entertaining not like the greats now so much as its a slow drawn out wait for each shot.

you can't compare this exhibition to real pool. off course the played fast and loose.

I think a bunch of shots were set up. Not a real match.
