strongest spot you have seen

A couple of weeks ago Tony Watson gave this guy for 2K a set races to 9. The wild 6 out, all the breaks and ball in hand after the break
 
I also saw Dave Gomez one time give someone who was mouthing off the spot that Dave shot one handed, standing on one foot, and hopping during every shot.

Dave robbed him.
 
Melvin Sharpe at a national league tournament in Denver. I think BCA. Long time ago. Was giving all comers on the challenge table:
Rack nineball.
Opposing player is the stripes with just the 9 & 8.
Melvin has to play rotation and bank every ball.

He was running racks this way.

I was new to pool and I'm sure it's a gaffe spot but I never wanted to try and give it to anybody.

Of course it is huge gaffe. Melvin starts out with seven blockers and can play safe all day long if he can't bank out on a bar table.

I can't wait to swing through Colorado next year.

Yeah. But the impressive thing was that Melvin wasn't playing that way too much. He was running out and running out.

He is one of those guys that could catch a really, really high gear.

Melvin can certainly play and a really nice guy as well.
 
Efren giving some local B player 5-out and all the breaks on 9-ball at the old La Habra Hard Times. I had part of Efren's stake. They went hill-hill the first set and doubled up the next set . Efren won the second set handily.

Keith playing with mop against some banger might take the cake though.
 
Watched Henny match up with a local in Athens that plays good and he only had to make a ball, with Henny getting the breaks. Watched Allen Hopkins beat everyone who bet for two days, playing the ghost with no ball in hand.
 
I gave a player the 6,7,8,9, every break and ball in hand after break both playing one handed...races to 5 for 100 I beat him 4 in a row...then we played even me one handed he played normal...I won 3 sets...and so on and so on...we ended up me one handed giving 7,8,9 all breaks and ball in hand after break...plus raising the bet...I finally lost some sets and we ended up even...

Biggest spot I probably gave was playing the 12-ball ghost without ball in hand race to 9 for 500 a set...I won 3 sets and they quit...

Also played the rotation ghost 500 a set getting 1 game race to 9...I ended up even...3-3 in sets...

If you can do this and want a stake horse, get to the states and I will let you play anyone.
 
The biggest spot I've seen is "if you drive a ball to the rail" on a legal hit you win
Playing 9b

Hey Petey, Tom Vanover gave this same game to many c players, Tom always won at it, As soon as Tom got to the table that game was over plus many more, If Vanover couldnt get out he would play a lock up safe, then get BIH and that game was over!

Tom was always giving out the 3 and up, 4 and up, it didnt really matter cause once Tom got control of the table the c player or b player had no chance, then when Tom broke the balls he either ran out or played safe then ran out!

It is amazing how much the skill level changes from a b player to an pro level player!
 
I played my wife once 8 ball where she played normally, but I played bank the 8 ball wherever my last ball went... And I shot one handed on every shot.

It was an even game. :-)
