danny harriman is the only one who disliked the video

[JustinBeiberRocksFTW]

tough to play when your nose tickles.

[MirageBistro]

Rodney Morris is my idol!

[77GETSILLY]

This is most definitely one of the best matches I've ever watched

[trumanhw]

The miserably tough rack Rodney ran out at 44min is INSANE! Never an easy shot. Awesome tenacity.

[jure87]

@trumanhw no rack was started or ended at the 44th minute

[tibyv8]

@jure87 he's talking about rack 19, starting somewhere at the 40th minute.

[steelz41]

@trumanhw That was a ridiculous rack. Kept getting worse every shot.

[bunnygotdrunk]

Weak as he'll! There's no entertainment at all!

[bunnygotdrunk]

This muthafuka ain't no match for Filipino when it cums to playin pool!

[synacs]

It is not Danny Harriman its Jack Hines!

[zappykiller]

Danny should just stop acting like hes a pool master looking at the rack and making sure it is all neat it just pisses me off.

[ProdigyKimXP]

@zappykiller ??? It's always smart to examine the rack. I'm sure he's not doing it to look like a master. He just wants a good rack lol. I'm so sorry something like that pisses you off

[DyMannlich]

@zappykiller that just shows how much of a scrub at pool you are and why those guys are making money playing the game you waste time watching youtube videos

no commas :)

[GetMeThere1]

Nice match. Never doubt Rodney Morris' ability to string together a lot of absolute top level play into a win.

[aznelf13]

this nigga danny diliberto talks too much sht, shuld just leave it to wynch

[RayHusted]

@aznelf13 diliberto knows so much about the game its not even funny... and wych is the shit lol

[aznelf13]

@RayHusted but dilberto is so senile, all he really does is agree with wynch

[aznelf13]

@eddiethelock i didnt say he's bad, just sayin he's rambling redundant things

[rheographics]

@aznelf13 I dunnno who is wynch and who is diliberto... but the old guy is really good.. talking about the game.. heard him in a few games already.. The young guy just talks and talks and talks some of the things he says are not necesary at all... its really irritating. And he always talks so loudly after every 9 ball pot....

[RyanWatchesNaruto]

the commentators are good.. i dont see the problem. Replacing Jim Wych would be bad lmao he is good and entertaining. As for the match, good as per usual

[Colas613]

Damn, what a match! in beginning you think ...what a bullshit!... but then it gets very hot, good entertainment. everybody watch this all through to the end!!! DAAAMN.

[angellover91436]

Morris is a MONSTER! with the funniest attitude and coolest down to earth personality!

[Larrygallis]

Rodney is one of my all time favorites, and matches like this is why.

these commentators are hilarious

[rams25]

this guy looks like marty mcfly

[windowpain1]

@rams25 I think he looks more like Rob Lowe.

[jl61046]

Danny is an arrogant asshole and he got what he deserved. Nice job Rodney!

[agmoose]

@jl61046 Danny Harriman is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. I've known him and his family for many, many years. He's the opposite of what you call him, which is an appellation more suitable to yourself, pal.

[lemonite1]

@agmoose Yeah, it's hard to imagine anyone saying anything bad about him. I met him at a tournament several years back and he was a class act. Btw, what Morris does to Harriman here is what I saw Harriman do to another player. At that level, happens often.

[ivorjutt]

The commentators are so annoying .

[RayHusted]

how do you mess that seven up!!!

[michaelstown]

I wonder if danny thinks he shoulda banked that 7?

[aznelf13]

yea i was thinkin that too, he prob shild tried for the top right corner

[natureboy84]

And forgot to add. What a great match! One of the best I've seen.

[natureboy84]

Who else wanted to punch Diliberto in the face at 35:02? God damn he's annoying and rude sometimes.

[elementskateboardsyo]

Good match.

[BaTtLeFiElDrUnEsCaPe]

way2go rocket holy... ownage

[pigdisposal]

danny picked the rite shot, he didnt want to have to make a bamk shot, even if he did, who knows where the 8 was gonna go, his two options were to fall on the short side which would require rediculous CB control. He chose correctly to run rite into them but he hit a terrible shot.

[mitosinuca]

that last 7 ball from danny i dont like try to open the 7, and i dont like the bank shot, i like playing for a safety on the 7 ball and put rodney behind the 8 ball , that would win the match for sure

[ragerino]

you should become a pro. i mean, with your knowledge of the gameplay ... :)

[fattlootzjr]

i use a sneaky pete myself. i play with a rodger allen that was made about 16yrs ago and is worth 3-times more then it was baught new..

[Crazeyfor67]

Deliberto doesn't have a clue. It might have known straight pool at one time, but that's it.

[Gturbos]

some awsome come back

[seanshirley86]

acually sneaky's were made cuz back in the day alot of hustlers that come into a pool hall with a nice two piece noone would play them. it made them scared, so they made a 2 piece that looked like a house stick

[dqh01]

What's the deal with Harriman playn with a sneaky? The guy doesn't even have his own break cue.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

there's nothing wrong with it? I prefer a sneaky pete myself =)

[dqh01]

I knew it the moment i made my comment someone like you would say that...There's nothing wrong it blah blah blah.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

haha well, and the thing is... sneaky pete is designed for people who dont like flashy looking cues. Also i personally like the design :P

[fullyunderstand]

Its a keith josey sneaky..one of the best damn sneakys for the money!

[jannboy326]

whoops i meant left earphone off

[jannboy326]

...right earphone off...

[jannboy326]

hey, for those of you who dont like the commentating.(im ok with it) and is listening with earphones. just take the

[davis4311]

Sorry, I don't see it... the guy shows allot of talent

[nietzsche71]

rodney morris the biggest poor sport of them all

[HKSlide]

How so? Not familiar with his history, but I did see him help win the US the World Cup of Pool and this comeback was pretty clutch

[phixxwutwut]

really? ive never seen him angry

[InfinityXxX]

Is Harriman playing with the same cue he breaks with? Hm

[rojak21]

They are both verry good Players....

[rojak21]

i like Danny's Style...

[tedlaver]

Nice, no chalk off commercials. Damn fine match!

[drewfla]

no kidding, those commercials are annoying as hell. and i agree, good match =)

[BILLIARDS4LIFE]

i play pro snooker in chile, but i remember the days when i played 9ball. love this match

[mitosinuca]

just press the mute and shut the fuck up

[claudiujon]

they should change the commentators...

[TreuloseTomate]

wtf is going on here

[pqrpro]

Lee Summit, used to be Blue Springs, but he has recently switched

[moskri013]

i have to agree,snooker is far more interesting then 9 ball...especially when ronnie the rocket holds the cue...this table is so easy...bet i can win at least 3 frames against this guys..u dont need to be pro to win in 9 ball...good vid though.good games they played.

[mitosinuca]

lol easy table? u have no idea what u are talking about, this is the most difficult pool table to play on, u can win 3 frames? u play good? than why u are not playing on the us open and other pool tournaments? think about what u are saying before saying it, u think u dont have to be a pro to win in 9 ball? only the top players in the world can win this tournament

[moskri013]

yes,i can play good...very good,to be precise..

[mitosinuca]

so u should play on the us open, i bet u were gonna be eliminated in the first 2 matches

[moskri013]

dont throw h8 on me man..im just saying i can win 2-3 frames,cause i know i can..why im not on us open ? i dont have a chance to play there cause i live in serbia..

[plmijnygcrdzwaquyijo]

y aint u on it then hot shot?

[keepperi]

but ronnie o' sullivan sucks at 9ball

[moskri013]

do u realize how ridiculous that statement sound ?? ronnie play snooker...and he is the best..can someone who play 9 ball beat him on snooker table? hardly...can he beat some 9ball player? YES!

[mitosinuca]

wheres billy incardona?

[theverb78]

probably babbling some nonsense somewhere else

[mitosinuca]

danny diliberto is the most hilarious man on the planet ! and that was a fantastic match

[pqrpro]

He almost exclusively plays 14.1 runs a hundred every day and 200+ at least once a week...its pretty impressive to watch, he plays out of sidepockets in KC

[stoneick]

Which sidepockets?

[pqrpro]

Ive known Danny for 20 years, he recently adopted the 3 point stance (snooker stance) in the belief your body is more stable throughout the shot, leading to a more consistent stroke for endurance matches

[califoolio]

what is the 3 point stance

[prosatan]

What a beautiful match and comeback!

[malazc]

amazing match.

Thank god there was no commercials.

[assazzo75]

get the chalk off, pool table cleaner....

[leftside67]

shane van boening doesn't use a break cue either

[dns4808]

this is my first time watch danny in match.. :) anyway he's quite a slow player.. taking more concentration on every shot.. but yeah.. he doesnt use a break cue.. for it.. :) wow.. its my dream to come to usa and play some pool.. :P *Falcon and BK2 User* :p

[snookerrulz]

Danny Harriman doesn't use a break cue? Unusual...

[theflake90]

i even didn't know that Danny Harriman is active player :D

great video

[phantomudd]

I've been wondering what happened to Danny Harriman. I haven't heard anything about him in a while. It's good to see him back in stroke and playing again.

[dns4808]

was harriman a snooker player??? his stance totally like a snooker stance....

[snookerrulz]

Not as far as I know, but yeah u r completely right on the snooker-type stance.

[realmadrid4lyf]

danny harriman is such a slow player!!

[kevycanavan]

more 9-ball. fanbloodytastic

[Szylwius]

thanks!

[lnd3005]

Oh gosh, Morris looks old. You'd never think he was only two years older than Harriman.

[sixcues]

Great match. What a comeback by Rodney. However BClub - what happened to the "Watch in High Quality" option. Every time a player moved or shot it left after effects on the screen, and the balls looked fuzzy and out of focus. Is Rodney getting grey headed or was that light reflections from his hair gel?

[tibeatz89]

what a comeback from morris!!!

[videoman921]

Thanks for this video,hope to see more of it.

[mongrelsoldier]

That table is sexy.

[DeftDel]

goooood game quirky match indeed

[tibeatz89]

yes! ;)

[monstrmac1]

Thanks you for these videos. More please!
