This was so much fun! Don't forget our deal 🔔👀

Any one of these shots is incredible and to have three in one rack is insane. I'd bet Chris would have similar numbers trying to recreate it.

The motivational Background music is a bit annoying. I recommend watching Rolly from Kamui recreating these shots. He even sole Kamuis background music. Its just a ripoff

what makes it incredible is that he did it on one try each and in one game

Great shots!! Melling is a magician. Reyes is the GOAT.

Good job, Just makes it all the more impressive when you think he did it first time all in the same rack.

Good job for sure. Not just that, he did it in a competitive environment with people watching, it aired with thousands of viewers and commentators as well. He was definitely in what's called a "flow state" during that rack. The percentage of being able to hit those are astronomically low, it's beyond amazing

Watching chris melling is a genius. That rack was truly the most amazing and impressive run out ever.

Please keep doing this kind of videos! Super entertaining to watch.

Great job recreating those shots. That is the most amazing run out I've ever seen. Melling is the only other pool shooter worthy of being called the magician. I wonder how many times it would take you to do the whole sequence just as Chris did? 😉

That was a brilliant re-creation. Chris Melling is one of the unsung heroes of pool and should have more recognition. Thanks Sharivari.

This video shows just how insane that run out is.

Melling pulls off incredible shots playing 8-ball, much more so than 9- or 10-ball. He really shines in those UK 8-ball leagues.

The most amazing part of this run is that he decided how to shoot the one ball 2 shots in. He saw he wasn't going to be able to get back down table for the one and CHOSE that 4 rail bank right after the Masse shot. Freaking BRILLIANT!

Excellent Job!!

Thanks for the training!

Great stuff, I love the OG Rollie Williams background music

We pool players have all memorized these shots and once in a while I certainly attempt playing one during a game. Fun and hard to pull off especially first time. Chris Melling is a daring player a bit like Efren Reyes, knows what he can get away with and tries it rather than finding some place to hide the cue ball. You did good !!!

Ich habe den Curveshot neulich 4 Stunden lang trainiert und irgendwie bin ich fast glücklich, dass du ihn auch nicht immer perfekt hinbekommst. Also keine Schadenfreude, nur die Tatsache, dass andere, mit sehr viel mehr Skill als ich, auch noch am üben sind.👌

My favorite runout of all time!

Great video and editing!

Amazing!

what cue stick were you using in this video?looks very nice!

I'm impressed, not with the amazing shots, but with your honesty. Most KZreadrs don't like looking anything but amazing(which you still are) so they throw a lot of film on the cutting room floor and say Yep, 1 shot.

The editing was top notch 😂😂

Mad respect. Subbed.

AWESOME editing choice using Rollie's background music for his own recreation vids!!

The coolest part about the last shot is Chris’ creativity to come up with it. It was quite hard for any player to see that shot in the situation

Best tip of the day... “If I hit harder, it will shallow the angle.”.

Do you prefer break from the side or the middle of the Table? I dont like this break( side) because the balls are usually getting stuck on the right side of the Table. We know who Melling is but... Greetings from Swiss and Love your Videos

What the use he called magician.. proud Pinoy proud Efren..

He's call the Magician for a reason 😅

The first shot was the only real super hard one. And even that I suspect didn't go off like he thought it would. I think he was expecting to do exactly what we see in the recreation. Still kudos for thinking of it. Same for the last shot. That was more about the placement of all the other balls, not the shot itself. However, it takes a lot of skill to see that far in advance AND to not mess up the other balls, etc, along the way...lol.

You should have mirrored the table setup since you are a left handed player.

That was a hella of a runout! To execute those and pocket them too! Way beyond my skills. 😢 and yours!😅

the first shot might be the only example of a "time" shot I've ever seen... I've seen banks where the cue ball had to nudge another ball out of the path of the OB but that's different. I have seen at least 1 unsuccessful try at a time shot in 8 ball but they seem very rare.

🤯🤯🤯

You're WRONG. Melling hadn't already decided he was gonna play a four rail shot on the 1, he simply got bad shape on the 7 and had no other option. He initially intended to get a good angle on the 7 so that he can go down towards the 1 and get shape on the 1 for the side pocket.

You mention that because the solid 3 ball went in on break he is forced to take solids? Are some associations forced into taking solids or stripes based on what went in on break? I've played 3 different associations and all 3 still consider it open table after the break regardless of what went in? for Example. If the solid 3 ball went in on break I'm not forced to be stuck with solids. I continue my turn with open table and then can decide if I want to go with solids or stripes. Perhaps the runout looks much better with stripes despite a solid already being down. If you are forced to take what went down, what would the ruling be if one of each went down or perhaps 2 of one (solids) and one of the other (stripes)?

The common and official rules are that you can still choose what group to shoot after the break. But in this particular tournament, they played take what you made.

I was going to ask the exact same question. Normally that would be an open table, but I guessed this had to be a tournament specific rule. It's such a crazy run out it's like something from a movie.

WTF!?! I mean, Holy Smokes!

01:06 I think you might be wrong here. No professional players start his execution plan by including a 4 rail kick shot. He had to replan because he made a mistake from 6 to 7 as the white bumped into the 7 and changed his position angle. After that, the only solution was the 4-rail kick.

@johnholmstrom4212

10 ай бұрын

I disagree. Even if the 7 wasn't bumped, it wouldn't have given him any way to get better position for his last ball into any other pocket. He saw the kick shot which he knew was perfectly aligned, and played it that way as intended before he shot the 6.

@ArousSami

10 ай бұрын

I thought the same but: 1. 6 to 7 is a very very easy position. Not a mistake a pro player will do. Specially Melling who is an English Pool (the game) player where bumping into balls is routine. 2. The 1 ball has no direct pockets and no obvious bank shot. 3. Melling is a show player. I think after the first two trick shots, he was really there to please the crowd too. I think this is one of the times (we all experience this) where you just feel nothing can go wrong and just have fun.

top right and dont hit so hard cuz u dont want to disturb the object ball too much

That’s the greatest shot ever in a match

I find it hard to respect pool players, when thinking of how it compares to snooker. However, this is sheer magic.

@suttonallen1

In either case, a pro pool player or a pro snooker player would beat me handily, so I respect both, considering they're both masters of their very difficult craft. As far as the games themselves go, snooker is harder, but pool is definitely more fun.

@procrastinator6902

9 ай бұрын

Why? Snooker really isn't that much more difficult, maybe less so. And yes, I've played both. Pot a red, pot another color, put the other color back on the table, go again. You don't even have to shoot the other colors in order of point value, at least while you still have red balls. I really don't understand these kinds of comments. In pool, you not only have less shots to choose from but more balls to avoid. In snooker you have a whole rack of red balls to shoot for, don't have to avoid any of them, and can then shoot at any colored ball. It's different but I wouldn't say harder.

@procrastinator6902 I was thinking more about the playing surface rather than the game itself. Playing on a 12 foot table leaves a lot of room for misses because if you're half of a degree off on an 8 foot pool table, you'll probably still make it. However, on a 12 foot table, you have further to go, and that half a degree turns into a miss much more easily.

what's up idol

What!?

I would guess 40 for the first shot.

Did he really even steal the backround music from rollie williams lol

RIP Steinway

Id do all that then miss the black 😂

Using the same music as Rollie does in his "average pool player" videos.

For each attempt, the probability of making the shot remains the same. Trying 25 times doesn't make it 4%. Each shot is independent of the last. 😮‍💨

@Sharivari

8 ай бұрын

Yes it does. If on average it takes you 25 tries to make it, the shot has a success probability of 4%.

Wow not only the idea but you also stole the background music from Rollie Williams on Kamui

The motivational Background music is a bit annoying. I recommend watching Rolly from Kamui recreating these shots. And then you just copied Kamuis video style and even used the same music throughout the video.

First

I think the difficulty of the first shot demonstrates that it is not what Chris was going for and it was a fluke.

weak sauce.. changes the rules not even one shot in :/

Stop he’s the illusionist…. the real goat and magician is Reyes! Don’t take that from him..

It’s not the same to recreate-the same shots then doing them in a roll leaving the ball in the same placement its more then shooting the ball
