DAVID MATLOCK vs TYLER STYER - 2023 DERBY CITY CLASSIC ONE POCKET DIVISION 

Dave is a great guy.. Didn’t really know him well, but we ended up casino hopping in Vegas one night together.. Getting drunk off our asses.. Couldn’t tell you how it happened, except there was this girl with us who for life of me I cannot remember?.. lol..

Thanks for your reply, it verifies what I'd heard, that Dave was from Rolla. I was introduced to the game there, when my family lived there for several years back in the late 50's and early 60's, and when my Dad had a Buick dealership there. Those were some good days. God bless!

@@dougoverhoff7568 Yes sir he was from a big family of 13 l believe a few passed at birth also l actually do some projects with his brother Dennis, great bunch of guys hes a legend here and he comes back on ocassion.shoots in some local tournaments, kicking everyones butt again! Good luck!

@@dougoverhoff7568 That was Stan's pool hall which know longer exists!

@@davidwilliamson2341 Thank you, again. If Stan's is the poolroom that I remember, then I do believe I was in that room on more than a few occasions, even though I was a youngster at the time, and was likely only there as an interested observer, (since I was infatuated with the game ever since being introduced to it at one of my father's mechanic's home when I was age 10). My memory fades about many details of that room, as it was many moons ago, (I recently turned 75 years old). However, one detail I somehow seem to remember is there was a shoeshine stand by the front window and a cigar cabinet near the front desk, ( no doubt both are long gone). However, I do have one clear remembrance of seeing a very large gentleman hitting a shot with such massive force follow, (though I didn't know it was called that at the time), that it seemed to make the cueball take off like a rocket. I was totally impressed! My family lived in what was known as McFarland Acres, a newer subdivision at the time, off hwy 72, near the edge of town on the way towards Salem. My father's Buick agency was at 4th & Elm Sts., it was 'Vance Motors' when my dad bought it. It's been many years since I've been through that way, so I don't know if the original building is stilll even there. I remember the Dep't of Motor Vehicles was directly across the street, at that time. Anyway....Thanks again for your response, and for prompting my trip down memory lane. Best of luck in your pool shooting, and God bless!

Lot of people won't understand that. Left handed people are more skilled and talented at everything involving arts... So all the greatest are lefties... Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr, Leonardo Da Vinci, you name them. It's as you said, we operate the "Right" way, which is responsible for the creativity, artistic, talent, connection to God. Every right handed person sees the world completely different than us as they work in linear and logic whole we can see the bigger picture and how it all fits together.

It's like being right handed you only see what's in front of you in 1 dimension , the first task then you go on to the next. Being left, you can see the entire project in 3 dimensions and how it all interconnects and works.

I saw the same match! At CJ’s in Dallas. Didn’t even know that Matlock played 3C! Amazing that you remember the score. I just remember that Matlock beat him badly and I was surprised. I do also remember the high run of Martinez, now that you mention it. Great players both.

@@justachristian4072 Yeah, Rafael was a really good billiards player.. But Matlock was world class.. 1.6-1.7 billiards per inning, at that time?.. lol.. As good as almost anyone, except top top pros..

Dave taught me everything i know about 3-cushion over at Shooters. Love Dave and Peggy.

Well they didn't call a foul when he touched the one ball with his hand so I doubt they're calling that. David's a great player but I don't know how he didn't realize he touched that with his hand and call a foul on himself. Tyler wasn't concerned and maybe he said he did and Tyler said leave it. I am curious though. Give him the benefit of the doubt I guess.

@@edwardborgias I don't believe they were playing "foul on all balls" - Dave did realize he had moved the ball with his hand because he looked down at it right after it happened. The referee was merely asking Styer if he wanted the ball moved back to its original spot or if he wanted to leave there. Styer elected to leave it there. Dave did the right thing by staying back and waiting for the referee to step in. A player may not move a ball with his hand in any circumstance because to do so would be a foul and in 1 pocket it would cost 1 ball...in 9 ball the opposing player would get ball in hand and in straight pool the offending player would be docked 1 point off of his total match score.

It looks like a piece of taom chalk most likely v10

It's definitely Taom V10. I know because I use it personally and keep 3-4 on me at all times. All I'm willing to use. So I can identify it easily

If all players and pool halls embraced Taom V10, the tables and players would stay so much cleaner. But most complain about costs. I understand what it's like to be on poverty and have to live worrying about the price of things rather than the experience and benefits.

Yeah, totally out of line in any other setteing other than pool.

Yet for some reason, they asked mark and John to do the commentary. And not you, but I'm sure you would have done much better.

At 58:08 is the comment I’m referring too that was a low blow man
