I played against Nils once, before I knew who he was. He came in and played in a local 8 ball tournament we had in Ohio. I could not believe how well he played position. After he easily won the tournament I looked him up and was astounded to see he was ranked 12th in the world at that time.
@Membersacc this IS real skill. even if snooker were played on a 9-ball table, i & many others i know wouldn"t play cuz we just don't like it. balls worth points, the re-spotting, the nerdy dress code, etc... has nothing to do with table or pocket dimensions. you gonna compare formula 1 to motocross dirtbiking bcuz they're both motor sports? NFL to rugby? cue sports are cue sports. now can't we all just get along & shoot?
Anybody with real skills, can play any of the games well, The idea is the same, hit the cue ball with the cue, make the object in the pocket to play for the next shot. You got 6 pockets you can sink the object ball in, the only games that are much different to me, seems to be one pocket and 3 cushion billards or anything along that line. It seems the players to me that can play straight pool or snooker well can also play the other pool games quite well as well.
BClub rocks! Put more ad overlays if you have to, but kepp 'em coming.
Feijen makes some truly PROFESSIONAL shots in the first two racks. Amazing.

I have to agree. I love watching these high stakes pool matches, but watching it at 3 frames per second takes all the fun out of it.
Very good quality, thanks
Good match. I enjoyed watching a good game of pool.
That Jump shot on the first rack was awesome!!
Thanks, gregm2010, I would have hated to have struggled through watching that excited or interested or anything...
Very nice vid....Keep um coming..
great upload
Best two man lag I've ever seen...
"mother ball" is a direct translation of what they call the cue ball in Chinese. i think it was Jim who said it. he's internationally sound.
I actually watched this whole video, LOL
omg, i just see that 3-9 jump shot combination :D
Nice Match.
Oh, Wych said it?
I still think it sounds silly, but thanks for telling me about it.
some great shots yah hot ref. good pool
@namsook I agree with you absolutely!!
nah, it was Ted who said 'mother ball'. i agree hes probably not as cultured in pool as Jim is but i like his voice
the way feijen ended the first 2 racks was amazing making both the object ball and the 9
@jdbankshot I agree they are completely different styles of games, and require different skills. The real thing is, in truth, what you get used to.
@Membersacc yes and try italian billiard and tell me...

Is Feijen dutch? Sounds and spelled like a dutch name...
jmelchio Netherlands
wow, long video!
Really, the only thing great about this match is the ref. Thumbs up for that alone.
@Ryan117innit i dont understand:D
Nice very nice
Even pro's have bad days. Rodney must have had a rough night before this
i have no idea how to do that
how many combos can he do I have seen better players run 8 or 9 racks
Oh yeah
rodney morris : england? 48:36

44:15....WOW :D
I thought The Rocket was Ronnie O' Sullivan :S
lol beast you at pool mate
This isn't 1 to 9, what is this pool game mode called?
9 ball lol
Thank you
I don't think Wych was being literal... it did sound pretty stupid when he said it, though.
the hottest referee in pool, damn
Someone please Explain the rules to me?? Because the only Pool I've played is 8 Ball Pool on iPhone :/
rodney the rocket morris ? WTF only ronnie o sullivan is rocket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@namsook i never seen any other female referee in pro pool..so she doesnt have to compete much for the title.. hehe
not really, look at them 1 1/2 thats standard..
great match? 8-3 rodney got dominated great match if u love niels lol
9.07......wtf ?!?
The blonde guy is too lucky!
fuck jump cue. a good safety should actually do something...
240p op
The "mother ball?" Is that Ted Lerner? He sounds like a fool.
20:30 awkward silence lol
not that hard though
9 ball is terrible/ 8 ball pool is the best, tactically and skillfully. this is a joke.
Wanna see some real skill? Try Straight pool or snooker.
"8ball more skillfull than 9ball" = fail
i play better
play strait pool.
there only the better wins not the luckyst
