If you love bank pool or just want to improve your 8 ball, 9 ball, one pocket or straight pool game, then you have to get Freddy Bentivegna's excellent book: "Banking with the Beard". This book reveals secrets that have been closely guarded for decades.

Here is a video of Freddy shooting one of the shots from his DVD, Banks That Don't Go, But Do. See below.

This book is worth every penny. You might still have a chance to win a free copy by posting a comment on my cue blog.  Also, look for new or used pool books and DVDs about banking on the right side of this page.

NOTE: This pool match video has 11 parts to it and I've put them all together to make viewing much easier (I hope). Just click on the arrows on the left and right sides of the video player to move through the video series. I hope you enjoy this rare pool match video. Cheers.

It is rare to find a match like this. Gary Spaeth and Bugs Rucker are two legendary players. If you want to learn a little about the game of bank pool, just watch these guys. Spaeth is hammering 'em into the pockets. The video is 11 short parts, but I have them all in one place for you to enjoy with minimal effort. Don't miss any of the action!

Sources say this video is circa 1992 at the Derby City Open. They are playing 9-ball bank pool for some cash. They are playing on a Murray table. If you like the game of bank pool and would like to learn more, I strongly recommend picking up a copy of Freddy Bentivegna's book "Banking with the Beard". This is an awesome book, revealing closely guarded secrets. We're lucky someone as skilled as Freddy was willing divulge some of his knowledge

Cheers,
