Sorto Rotation - Perfect Runout with cliff-hanger ending

[nicarao]

Very impressive CB control.  Congrats catracho, Nicely done.

[TheRealEmskiHelp]

Omg the sqeek while chalking is horrendous

[pigdisposal]

ditto, what the fucks wit your tip man, sounds worse than nails on a blackboard.

[COLUMBINE1818]

That shot on the 13 ball was pretty sweet.

[califoolio]

o so thats how that game is played. theres this pool hall i got to a lot in santa ana ca. the majority of people who go there are hispanic and i believe most are mexican and i always see a lot of them play like that, funny its originally from honduras. they play a bunch of carambola there too. its nice to see another latino comin up.

[FuzzyWalther]

Great run :) Awesome played.

But the way Tony chalks kills baby kittens and children!

[jaday501]

Damn good show. I never could stand how tony chalked though.

[ASZ987]

wooooooooooooooooooooow nice .. my fev

[xXfighterhawkXx]

the ending is funny he almost scratches

[xXfighterhawkXx]

ending is awesome

[gtbtlz]

Incredible. I would have retired that cue and those balls and name the table after him.

[victorcubedo]

great run, LOVE the ending!

[PHATSKOHE]

nice very nice,,i play UK 8 ball so i find the American game very heavy and difficult to control(probably because i never play lol),,but that runout is all about development,doubling and rolling balls down the cushion,,a lot of skilled shots with positioning making them easier,,gr8 vid man

[albert333pool]

WOW that shot on the 4 ball was NASTY!

[venomtrickshots]

cool!!!!

[BartjeOstend]

Well played amigo. Try my practice drill as well. Take care. Bart . Cuesports Belgium

[califoolio]

ive also seen mexican players play that game in a santa ana pool hall

[rrrost]

Do you need to call the ball and call the pocket in this game?

[powellbarrios]

Muy bien Sorto! increible control! Asi es como se juega billar a la Hondureña. Saludos desde Honduras.

[davethoven]

i cant believe my eyes. Is that Tony? Those bank shots are pretty amazing, well actually, every shot was pretty amazing.

[cologurl88]

yeah that was pretty good, but i thought you were supposed to do that without touching any other balls, thats how i was always taught to do it

[fastmikie69]

Running the table without touching any other balls except the lowest numbered ball? That would be extraordinary. It would be cool if you did that on video and posted it here!

[StudentenPoolles]

I think shes talking about a practice in which all balls are frozen against the wall. One starts with ball in hand and has to pot as many as possible without touching any others. However.. this is not in rotational order! Cool video..

[kerjamu]

wow! at first i was agreed with ur statement that it'll never happen n recorded. but now...a great moment at the end of the year...:)

[theotherAF]

This is fantastic!

[Reggie1971]

That was monumental. Great that you captured it on video.

[runarak]

That's a serious display of CB control and nice shotmaking. Mad skillz.

[5ballcharlie]

that shot at 1:05 is sick bro nice shot with inside and hitting rail first.

[lucky232323]

cool game but he got lucky on that 5 ball

[dokokai]

How so?

[Fruck9ball]

i must say - great position play, bank shots are down the middle of the pocket, and i really apreciate the "more info" part on the right explaning the game. I was wondering how come the inside spin didnt take the CB back, and there it is - rail first - i play a lot and didnt knew that move :) Keep up the good work! PS: How did you calculate the humidity?:)

[fastmikie69]

The humidity here at the beach can present challenging conditions because it changes constantly. I have an on-site weather station which gives continuous measurements.

Glad you picked up on the "more info" link to the right, and especially the inside spin rail first 4-ball shot. Sure is a beauty!

[mlomas469]

Very impressive showing. What kind of camera did you use for this?

[fastmikie69]

Camera used is the Canon HG10, Hi-Def, with hard disk drive. Then loaded into a iMovie08 on a MacBookPro, then to YouTube from there.

[anitokid]

Awesome run! And I kid you not!

I love the way the 13 was pocketed!

Blitz speed and all!

This video has my vote!

Two-thumbs up!

:)

[123ralle]

nice control and run.i guess that from 4 to five the aim was to hit the cushion between 14 and 15, not below the 15.

anyway: good one.

[OPaivio]

What a great run! From 4 to 5 just an awesome shot. I'll try to run that, but probably never even come close. How often do the best players break and run?

[ispoda]

nice job!

p.s awfull chalk sound! Sounds like cheap! :)

[Bbbbriannn]

That's just Tony. He's always chalked like that. I used to play him back in the early 90s at a place called Greenfelt Downs in Vista, CA. I think Tony probably used the money he won from me to finally buy a cue stick. He always just used a house cue back then. He's an amazing player; such a relaxed and effortless stroke. Definitely a guy to watch if you want to get better.

[BobEnslow]

Thanks Mike -- nice run and some nice controlled shot.

[forcefollow]

Wow!!!! Great run and great post. Thanks Mike!!!

[hjl0240]

great clearance, and nerves of steel

[rackos]

[Daka0608]
