That's just an intro on who he is and what titles he has won. In the sidebar of that video are several of his videos on 8 ball, banks, and 9 ball. They are very short and don't really show much. Very poor quality videos.

Fixed. I thought the sidebar thing was obvious, but then again I suppose it may be different, depending on what you watched previously. I've added all the links in my first post now. I wouldn't have, but it appears the author himself is the one uploading the vids, so it ought to be ok. Here they are:

Jason
to be perfectly honest i have not played 9 ball in years
i dont even watch it,but from reading your post i am getting the idea that
you guys are running racks every time you break

i seem to remember that it was hard to break and get out

would you like to break and bet you can run out at $1000 p[r rack"?

9 foot diamond table or gold crown

i really don't know 9 ball and i hope you don't put a 5 pack om me
but i would like to play $10,000 sets

it sounds impossible to me,but i see what you said

The match was on a BB which I rarely play on but I have run 7 twice on the 9'.

When would you like to play and where?

Guess you're calling me a liar?

There is a member on here who was there for that match, maybe he will post.

You should stick to posting pics of cues lol

Thanks for the links. I found the old video and went back and watched it out of curiosity. It actually has some good info about 8 ball. It is designed, just as his book sounds like, for players in the skill level 3 - 6 APA range. Mr. Imler can play. Is he a champion? No, but in the video that I have shows several games of league play where another player and himself run a few racks.

Is the reason you're surprised about people running racks because most on here can't play a lick of pool? Lol
