Ok pool fans...here is a great throw-back pool video from a great era in pool.  This match is from the 1988 South Carolina Open.  It features two of the world's greatest pool legends, Buddy "The Rifleman" Hall and Earl "The Pearl" Strickland.

This match was broken up into 11 sections.  I put them all  together for your viewing pleasure.  I hope you enjoy watching this great match.

Here is a rare pool video from the pre-90's era.  Watch two legendary pool players in their prime as they match up in the Cleveland Open of 1988.

This 9-ball match pits Earl Strickland against Keith McCready.  This one is a glimpse back in time to a period that doesn't have a lot of billiards video coverage, so, please, enjoy this rare footage.

I love this match, because you get to see two great players playing on slower equipment, which means, they are strokin' the ball to move it around the table.  A contrast to a lot of the modern-day pool videos.

I hope you enjoy this classic as much as I did.   I put all 7 parts of the pool match into a playlist, so you can enjoy the whole set.

Cheers,

P.S.  As a tribute to McCready's famous character (Grady Seasons) in The Color of Money, check out the great stuff related to one of the all-time great pool movies below the video box.

This pool video is the legendary Color of Money match between Earl "The Pearl" Strickland and Efren "Bata" Reyes.  They played an amazing 3 days in a race to 120 games.  This was a grueling pool match in which both players played at a very high level.

This match is several hours long.  It has 87 videos, but I've put them all together for your viewing pleasure.  Actually, I had to put the first 50 segments in the first video and the last 37 segments in the second video.

Just sit back, relax and watch some legendary world-class pool.

You will want to watch this great pool match while you can.  You would be smart to buy the whole match on DVD.

This pool video features two of the best pool players in the world.  Yang Ching Shun and Marlon Manalo play in this pool match from the 2009 9 Ball World Championship.   I've heard how strong Yang plays, so I thought I'd post some video of him.  He plays GREAT in this pool match.

The commentary is not in English, so it wasn't much help for me, but the play is excellent and a very good match to watch.  Two of the best pool players in the world, for sure.

The match is in 9 parts, but I have them all set to "autoplay" for you.  Just sit back and enjoy.

This pool video features two great pool players, George "Ginky" San Souci vs. Dennis "Hatchet Man" Hatch.  They are playing a 10 ball match from the 2010 Super Billiards Expo 10 ball tournament.  They are racing to 9 in this match.

Ginky hadn't been playing tournament pool in a while, but he looks like he's strokin' pretty sporty... Hatch is strong, though.

This match has commentary, too.  The event was streamed by Inside Pool via Ustream.

This pool video is a challenge match between Donnie Mills and Bryan Bartlett. You can check out the AZBilliards forum thread to find out more comments about this match.  Donnie is giving up a ton of weight in this match.  Bryan is getting the breaks and the last 5 balls playing 10 ball.  As you will see, Donnie is a strong player.  Thanks to Bryan for sharing this high quality pool match.

The match is about 2 hours long, so it is in 12 parts (DAMN YouTube).  Anyhow, I put the list into a playlist, so all 12 parts of the match will play automatically.  This pool match looks great in full screen mode...great video Bryan.  Enjoy the match.
