Michael Tosado Honors his Mentor

14 year old Michael Tosado honors his in-rack tactical mentor, Mr. Stuart Mattana. Mr. Mattana's teachings on the subtle points of the in-rack skills have paid great dividends in Michael's development. Mr. Mattana has also mentored many of today's top professional female players, such as Jeannette Lee and Jennifer Barretta. In this video Michael pays his mentor the best compliment any student can ever express...a beautifully played Break & Run that makes the game look so easy (and we all know it's not).

[ltosado]

Yes, I have played against John Morra but not Justin nor Tony. Yes, I work out with Tony Robles and Mika regularly as they help me improve my game; and yes, I do play on the Predator Tour. Thanks for the feedback.

I hope this young kid would meet the top Filipino players in the future... right now, Jerhome Pena and Jeff De Luna is the two newest and youngest player in the Philippines.. I hope he meet them someday....Good Luck !!

Hopefully I will one day. Just got back from the Joss Turning Stone event and finished in the top half (out of 128 players).

nice, but iy ws a tom cruise lay out, great break though. Im from scotland moved to the united states in 08. i played snooker alot at home but obviously pool is the game here, i joined a APA league this spring and quickly became a 7 which is the highest we have. Im entering my first real tournament this weekend and hope to do well. Any advice on tournament match play?

It must be boring playing like that... I suck so I have to try really hard, lol...

Nice stroke kid. The guy you're playing there used to help me sometimes also when I lived in Manhattan, he gives good advice.

[MisplacedNostalgia]

very nice!

Maybe I'd be that good too if I had a team of professionals coaching me for hours every day.

Hi, it's Dan from the pool hall. I suggest that you put the camera behind the foot rail or on the axis from the footspot through the lower left corner pocket (right handed breaks are better covered there.) What a player, at that age.

Good shooting mate! Iv recently started playing pool and enjoy it loads but dont think i'll ever get to your standards. I play about 6 to 7 times a month at my local club. Anyway wish you the best mate!
