By popular demand, Accu-Stats brings you world class 8-ball. “Round Robin” is the format, which means that each player plays every other player, and the one with the most wins, wins. In case of a tie there is a playoff. But more on that later. Six players participated. As Reyes, Immonen, Griffis, and Frank were the final four, in that order, in the last pro 8-ball event, they were invited. Archer and Bustamante were added just to mix it up a little. Roger Griffis played run out all week. If you want to see text book 8-ball, his opening matches, as you can see by the scores, were pretty impressive. In fact, going in to the final day, Roger was 4 and 0. The tension in Johnny’s matches is about as good as it gets. Most went hill-hill. Alas, he won only one - to Frank. Troy moved really well through the racks, but to no avail. The good news here is, he still shows us how to ‘get there from here.’ Complemented with commentary from Accu-Stats’ own, Bill “Cardone,” you will learn from these. Mika Immonen showed great talent throughout this series. In fact against Efren, he never missed a ball. And lost! How? Check out 8B01-13. Bustamante also touted great technique. In one game, he made 4 stripes on the break, and took solids. So now to finals day. Roger had to play Francisco. If Roger won, he would be 5 and 0 - an automatic winner. Bustey couldn’t win as he was 2 and 2. But, he could stop Roger at 4 and 1 - the same record as Reyes. Alas, Roger lost. This forced a playoff with Efren. The rest, as they say, is history. See it to believe it! Only from Accu-Stats. Additional booth analysis from Tony Annigoni and “8-Ball” Larry Schwartz.

2002 Diamond Derby City Classic IV
ALL A-S DVDs: $9.95 + Ship FREE
The biggest and best Diamond Derby City Classic event to date. Every field filled with more than 200 players, short stops, and party boys. Let’s celebrate the return of Morris, McCready, and Matlock. Immonen, Deuel, Daulton, Joyner, Varner, Archer, Hall, and all, bust moves in this continuing series. Caught in Accu-Stats action for the first time, we have bankmasters Larry Price and, Louisville homeboy, Louis DeMarco. These guys can play. You maybe haven’t heard of them, but remember this: You don’t get to the finals in a field this strong without being able to play! Check ‘em out! In 9-Ball, Hall shows us he still has it as he needles his way to the finals. Cybernetics tells us that we learn from watching others. So, if you want to capture a world class stroke check out the cue action on D4-9B6. Though 2001 World Champ Mika Immonen is not to be intimidated by Hall’s smooth motions. Mika hasn’t come this far to get lulled into hibernation by the big bear. This tape will keep you transfixed. Deuel shoots the highest Accu-Stats TPA with a .967 in tape D4-9B5--a bargain double header with Immonen blasting a .955. Rodney Morris, with a .930, gets back to basics as he shows Evgeny Stalev that shooting a .667 isn’t gonna cut it. This match didn’t last too long so we hooked you up with a .940 as Souquet spanks McCready at 7-3. D4-9B1 Many great matches in one pocket as we have the ParicaJoyner show. These guys bring you shots, moves, and stratagems to incorporate into your arsenal. D4-1P4 brings road player John Schmidt back to the screen in a close call with Parica. The only time we saw Schmidt was when he took out Sigel in the BCA 14.1. D4-1P3 manifests an awesome display of staying power as Daulton digs his way out from a two zero deficit to get to even.

Buddy still banging .950’s Then, with a momentary lapse of reason, he offers Joyner a shot. How Cliff capitalizes on Shannon’s error is worth the price of admission. Stalev is back to remind us that one pocket is big in the USSR. The commentary here could be an instructional series as Billy and Danny work overtime as they share their innermost secrets, in all disciplines, with you. And, lastly, lets not forget: Thanks Diamond!
