Tony plays smooth as silk in this match, doesn't he?

You ain't lyin, man. He seemed to always have the right speed and position, except maybe 2 or 3 times. I like how he kept his position play simple; nothing fancy for showmanship sake.
Thanks for posting. Great editing on that video, I'm at 9 min now. Looks like Tony got little lucky @4.40 the 5 rolled off on the spot, also looks like he could use a slightly longer cue. Whilst watching this Ronnie is making a century on tv.....nice.

Yes, I agree. He (Tony) has this extreme dip at the end of his stroke now, and his follow through isn't quite as long as with most players. Are jump shots now allowed btw? I saw Tony kick at the 1 which seemed a certain jump-shot. Another shot that stood out to me was Danny not going twice across for position on the nine @11.40 he nearly scratched because of it.

thanks, that was the first time I got to see Tony play. I think he plays a more old style kind of like in the 70's/80's. He banked a few I bet most others might have ducked on! and fired at EVERYTHING which puts a lot of pressure on the other guy......it was nice to see.
now we need some 1P footage of Tony!
I need to steal a few moves

Tony plays bank pool superspeed. Not alot of bank champions want to get into the box with him. I like his bank pool game over Tony Coleman, Ike, Neil Jacobs and a few other noted bank specialists.
Thanks for recording and posting!!
Tony seemed to play a little different than his normal game. He did not seem to fire at the balls as much. Usually he hits them a little firmer all the way through a set. I liked this version better.
It did seem like the table was playing pretty fast so maybe he could or didnt have to really hit many shots.
I was surprised by the lack of saftey play at times and that Tony did not try and move the 4 ball when Danny was trying to 3 foul him. At least if you move the 4 it opens up the kick a little more on the next one.
Odd that the 10 did not count on the break. I guess thats a Fl Tour rule?

10-ball is so much better I hope all the tournaments move to it.
I don't get why everyone is raving about Tony's play but not a word about Harriman, I assumed he played horrible because of this, but they both made mistakes and Danny didn't really play that bad. Tony's play was good but not as good as people are saying. There were at least 4 or 5 times where he BARELY got by a ball by nudging it and almost hooking himself, he miscued twice and he did get out of line occasionally and scratched in the side that one game. Harriman did not really miss that I can remember but he got out of line a few times and his break was not working. Tony did play better but not amazing.

Danny is definitely a great player. It's just that I've seen him play several times, but I had never seen Tony.
