Keith McCready's US Open monster stroke shot.

No need to apologize, a gorgeous stroke then runout!
Those were a few fun years in the DC area, for sure.
Good grief!
Really good force follow shot
Not surprised I missed this one before, this match they both start very poorly and never really watched far into the video

Keith breaks every "rule" of good pool fundamentals but he sure made it work for him.
He is fun(Earl also) to watch unlike many of the robots we have playing today.

I'm looking for a safety too. That guy was something else.

He had a great run at the US Open that year!

Thanks for sharing. I've always loved this stroke shot from Earl too (5:56):
Earl's got a foot-and-a-half long bridge and pulls it almost all the way back to uncork that monster stroke.

keith was an incredible player when he was on. thats for sure. and one of the top players for spectators to watch. and a good person too boot.
his small problem was he believed he could do anything and didnt play smart enough pool. especially when 10 ball came into play where it wasnt a run out on open tables as often.

Play him his golf game one time !! See if he’s not a smart player !!! Probably still can bet what you want
This has probably been hashed over before, but Massey doesn't actually drop his elbow like he recommends on the first shot at the beginning of the video. It does appear he drops it a bit more at the end of the video.

Do what works for YOU!
Unfortunately, from a fan's perspective, this is all too correct.
But in defense of the modern top players, they HAVE to "play like robots" to win.
The competition is just too good, the tables are faster, and the pockets are smaller.
You can't be "loose" anymore if you expect to succeed at the top level.

Most powerful stroke ever by the most powerful man to ever play high level pool.
