How good does this guy play? I know I have seen him post on here several times but yesterday was the first time I got to see him play. I know two of our better players from Ohio have went down to Kentucky and lost to him in the finals of some pretty tough tournaments. I know he beat Shannon Murphy 2 sets a few months ago in the finals of a tournament and then he just beat Tom D'Alfonso 5-0 in the finals yesterday. For a local player he must hit them pretty sporty. Yesterday was the first time I saw him play. Anyone else ever seen him play? Someone said he has even beat the pro player Charlie Bryant 2 times in tournament play. Any feedback is appreciated.
Who is Anthony Beeler?
- Thread starter Elmo
- Start date
Check out his scores on the yearly Drivermaker tournament -- he shoots great from the scores that I've seen him post. I don't think any pros have actually agreed to ever post their scores -- but I'm sure than Beeler would be right up there with pro-type scores.
Tight table, seems to be a good shot and humble!
9 foot Diamond Professional Table; 4 inch corner pockets; 4.5 inch side pockets; Simonis 860 Cloth
Session 1: 14, 14, 9, 0, 3, 20, 19, 19, 20, 20..... Total 138

Session 4: 20, 16, 8, 20, 5, 20, 20, 20, 20, 6.......Total 155

I need to practice, but I am happy with my score. I just felt like I was getting in stroke at the end of the last session. I haven't played much since the birth of my child back in 4/14/04. If I had about another week or two to practice I feel like I could have maybe averaged in the 160's. I enjoyed it though. Good luck to everyone else! Looks like there is a lot of stiff competition.

Anthony
I'm starting to get a line on Anthony. He claims to be working 60 hours a week for the local school system, then he throws in the "story" about some mystery child that I've never seen taking up his free time. Don't be fooled. He locks himself in his home and beats balls on his Diamond for like 100 hours a week, then he comes out long enough to rob our calcutta then disappears again. See You next month Pal!
I can vouch for Anthony. I worked with him, at his home, and met his wife and child. The boy is definitely a handful, and wants his time with his dad...and he gets it! Anthony is a great father! Having your own table does allow some flexibility in how and when you get to practice. Anthony has a great desire, and a tenacious attitude about winning! My hat is off to him in how well he has applied what we worked on. He was already a very good player. His devotion to his game, tempered with his devotion to his life with his job and family, has made him a great player! He has all his priorities in order! Way to go Anthony!

thanks
Thanks guys for all of the kind comments. Sliprock, you are hilarious. Just been getting a few rolls lately. What has really helped is that I have a regular practice partner now. If you don't believe me look at this pic.

Tell that kid I'll play him some One Pocket, for all his Wheaties.
Anthony has the distinction of being the best collegiate player I have worked with in 15 years. Anthony is a very fine student of the game always aspiring to learn new things. (In more recent years Anthony completed my home foundation course.) Not only is Anthony a fine player I can always count on him to sub for me in my university class. The little kid pictured is in good hands. He has fine parents and a built in coach and instructor.

There is a lot to be accomplished when you become a student of the game, and Anthony is living proof of that. I am glad to hear that you are playing so well, Anthony. I remember a few years ago how hungry you were to learn - and now you are applying that knowledge. Best of luck to you in pool, and with your family.

Thanks Stan! I really appreciate all of the help you have given me over the years. I can certainly vouch for you as an instructor. I have definitely learned a lot. Your foundation course was great! Scott I appreciate your help as well, you are both World Class instructors in my book. They just don't come any better than you guys!
Hitting them good- Update
Yes, he must be hitting them good. He just won two mini tournaments at the Qolympics. He beat Louis Ulrich in the finals of the second one. Congratulations Anthony!!!!

Don't let all these guys fool you. You get a McDaniel in your hands like Beeler, and you will beat the world also! The thing is,when he goes" World Class " it's all over for everybody in the KY.
Here is a pic of my new player it is a "World Class Cue" by Jess June and Tommy of the old Bill McDaniel shop. I am very impressed with their work. Send them some business guys. You just don't find a nicer hitting cue than these:
