Our local APA division hosted a Trick Shot Demo by Stefano Pelinga while he was in the states. I try to check him out whenever he comes to town and normally try to chat with him for a few minutes whenever I see him at a show or the expo. He is an extremely nice guy and always takes time out to talk to people and even get pictures with them. Well during the demo they had a segment where you can buy a 5 dollar raffle ticket for a chance to play Stefano in the game of your choice. So I was one of the names that was called and told him to rack up 9 ball.
He let me break, I snapped the wing ball (7) in on the break and almost made the 9. They must have recoved the table for his demo because it played noticably different the the other tables at the pool hall. I didnt have a good shot on the 1 so I played a saftey which I over shot and gave him an easy hit on the 1, but a hard shot, so he played a saftey right back at me which was obviously better then mine.
I took a 1 rail kick at the 1 ball and it worked out and left him safe. He took a kick at the 1 ball to kick the 1 into the 9 and missed it. I then attempted a 1 9 combo and missed it and left him an easy 1 -9 combo and he made it, but SCRATCHED!!!!. I spotted the 9 ball and then ran out the remaining 8 ball for the victory.
Me vs Stefano: Click Here Video is 33mbs and great quality. Sorry Dial up users.
He is standing in the way for a few shots unfortunately, but you can see most of the shots. Felt like a million bucks. Before I played him I asked him to play me the way he would play someone in an actual game, as he was going 5 rails with shots against other people. I assume he obliged me since he played the easy 1 - 9 combo but scratched.
