This is probably my favorite match on Youtube.

I would love to be able to ask Scott Frost and Billy Incardona a ton of questions. Corey Duall is tries to commentate, but almost every time comments with the wrong shot. It also demonstrates that Corey got to Semi-Finals on incredible shot making not strategy or understanding the right shot.

Some of the things that I picked up, is that Scott Frost has TONS of respect for Billy, and he asks a lot of questions, some for the audience and some I think for learning for himself!

IMO Chris Gentile has so much going for him, banking, strategy, ability. Hard for me to understand as I have heard he is really a card player that plays pool. Damn he plays good.

Efren without a doubt is the best pool player I have ever seen period.

If you get a chance this is probably the best for learning IMO.

Wasn't this the one where Corey just joined in as a third wheel in the commentary and was intentionally just giving far out options for shots that he wouldn't even try at that particular point? If this was the match I'm thinking of Scott was constantly laughing at him.

Yep this is the one.

I don't think Corey was purposely giving far out options, he was giving his opinion on possible shots that he thought were viable....:p

One line from Billy on one of suggestions from Corey..."That would be a great shot if we were playing partners and you were on the other team..:thumbup:"

I've watched it at least a dozen times. One of the best on YouTube. The match with Chris vs Alex ain't bad either.

I'd cut Corey some slack...he thinks in a completely different way than almost anybody, one of the most creative players ever. I don't think it's just shot making that gets him there. Somewhere there's a video of him running something like 137 on somebody's home table in 14.1. Over half the shots and patterns were not what any sane straight pool player would contemplate, but it always seemed to work for him. :)
