ooh, please upload to vimeo! that way i can watch it during the day, when i'm bored and behind a firewall that blocks youtube.
I only have 1Mb upload speed on my home internet, so its like 7 hours to upload the whole thing. :-( I just dont have time to upload it to multiple sources.
Donny and I are playing again in another week and a half, so if there is enough interest, I will post that too.

I don't watch a lot of youtube videos but since the Flip camera shows some pretty decent quality of one of AZBilliards favorite professional players, I have been taking a look every now and then.
If some of you are like me and can barely turn on a computer, you may notice that there are some "Settings" toward the bottom of your screen which have numbers running from 240 up to 720 HD. If you click on the 720HD it sharpens up the images quite a bit. You can actually read the numbers on the balls. lol
In checking out some of the videos, I see that Donny doesn't give Bryan ANY air.
Bryan, you have a good game, but your skill level can't go anywhere except up. Thanks for posting the videos.
I think I'm going to go shop for a flip video camcorder. What I've read about them you really can't go wrong for the money and I think the quality is just fine for what I'm thinking about using it for.

This recording is an excellent example of the "Quiet Eye" in practice. Note how Donny sets up over the short & focuses on the OB for a few seconds. Amateurs tend to set up over the shot & immediately act. This decrease in focus time compromises accuracy.
What is "quiet eye"? -->> http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0HFI/is_2004_Jan/ai_112104116/

Donny always plays his nuts off every time he is at the table.
This is why I enjoy playing him. I dont want any leeway. When I make mistakes, I want to be beat to death.
I have already seen marked improvements in several aspects of my game after spending time on the table with him. Gambling with Donny is not about making money. Its about putting enough $$ on the line to make both of us try our asses off.
The value I get in return is well worth the cost.
He has always been very helpful, and is more than willing to hang around and BS about what mistakes I made over the evening when we are done.
I look forward to actually winning one night. ;-) and I will.
there is some soft action at strokers too......Hello
Yeah, we still have to play..... LOL. Where were you last night? Been skipping the weekly tourney I see.....
It will be strange playing someone who actually misses a ball more than 2 times a night....

Walmart has a kit that has everything you need, including the cable so you can watch the videos on your TV.
I would suggest this tripod as the legs are flexable. This allows you to angle the camera down at the table.

i stopped in for a min but had to leave. im goin out of town for the weekend and ill be ready to donate to you and donny next week
Sounds like a plan man. I could probably do something NEXT Friday.
Then, with your permission of course, we could have the James Roberts beating the bat-snot out of Bryan thread. How fun!

It looks like your gonna have to make a ball on the break and get some runouts to beat Donnie. You played good, though. The video quality was great in this match. Thanks for posting it.
I made a playlist on YouTube and put the full match on TubeBilliards.com. This way anybody that wants to "autoplay" the whole match can watch it there. Here is the link to the full match video.
Cheers,
Skippy
Ya, I pretty much have to break and run to win.
If I make a ball, and dont have a reasonable shot, then I end up in a safe battle with Donny. As you can see, most of the time that doesnt end well for me. They guy hits everything.
My 10b Break isnt quite there yet to be able to consistently make a ball and get a shot. We are talking about playing 9 ball next time because I should be able to come up with a shot after the break a whole lot more often.
Thanks for putting this all together in a single link

Youtube added a cool feature, when donnie is talking, or running out, you can click on the lil soccer ball.
Two thumbs up for the waitress in the white tank top! :thumbup:
Apologies if that is a poster's g/f.....
Scott
Yes that waitress and another waitress that were working that night are so hot that it's borderline ridiculous.
Thanks! Donny and I play about every other week, so as long as he can put up with running out on me all the time, I will keep posting these.
It seems that everyone is enjoying the footage.
