John Gabriel is a bad man

I know it is a shock since I live in Az, but I really don't care for One Pocket all that much. If there more shots like the one that John pulled out in that last rack (you know the shot if you watched the match), I might get a lot more interested in One Pocket. ...
Two words that should help you overcome your disinterest: Tony Chohan
 
Yup, rock solid play. Nothing fancy, but very few errors and made the balls he should have.
 
no. he's never been a az guy.
His name caused quite a fuss here quite a while back…can’t remember what it was about.
Recognized the name right away…….I think…. never met him

doubt its the same guy. he's about as low-key, drama free as it gets.

I watched the first game and found it amazing that he was up 7 to minus 2 and lost 8-7.
I played the game with them and saw a few moves that were better then I would have done and learned .
The only problem with watching players at this level is their position play and more importantly their kicking skills are better then the average player.
The 3 rail kicks in the first game were great,better then I could do.
But I would take 10-5 and the break from them.
I'm $10 one pocket player so if I lost that game,so what.

If you're ever in Tulsa i'll hook you guys up. John is about as good a guy as they come.

Pleasure watching this guy play one pocket.
Notice how clear the balls are when the camera closes in on them. No problem telling which ball is which. The Accu-Stats crew understands this basic precept of televising pool matches, that is lost on some other production crews. You pull those same cameras back five feet and it becomes much more difficult to see all the balls clearly.
 
I mean, it was wired
That was still an amazing shot. I don't play one pocket, so maybe people who play it a lot don't find that shot to be so tremendous- but I don't think I would have even pondered that shot. Perhaps you start thinking of unusual (from the perspective of an 8 or 9 ball player) shots if you play the game a lot.

All the more reason to play straight pool. Need all 15 balls on the table to begin to understand and learn how the balls react and rub against each other.

I think you’re right, must have him mixed up with a similar name.
I tracked him back twelve years….everyone speaks well of him, character and talent wise.
