Thanks for watching the first episode in a new series about a dead man walking. In an effort to not get rocked in every single game, Rollie has enlisted the help of professional player Hunter Lombardo ( / hunterlombardofficial . He'll be training me through this process and assessing my many liabilities in an attempt to help me improve.
Thanks to Hunter Lombardo, Kamui Brand, and Society Billiards for the support.

Hats off to the guy who is doing the post production and the whole team. Very well made! And good luck to you Rollie :)
Thanks! You're talking to the post production team, so double thanks.
Love your vids guys they really helped me a lot especially your Lessons Shari
Sharivari vs rollie at the us open??? Will be epic!
Sure is
Good content on both channels.
What a seriously underrated channel. It's like binging with babish; rarely will I cook what he makes, but its genuinely entertaining. And with this guy, I was never super into pool, but it's so interesting to watch.
Great analogy. He has the same sort of dry humour. He really should be having more subs
It's amazing to see how far "average" Rollie has come
Eeeeeeyup
These little details he is pointing out are things i have not given much thought to. This is really helpful. Maybe i will video record myself shooting some and analyze those things. Thanks for the video.
For sure. Good idea. My game is so inconsistent I actually quit the apa. I'm pretty new to the game but I love it. Honestly I don't mind losing because it's an opportunity to learn. Now I'm shooting occasionally with the opposite hand just to watch the development of necessary form and approach. As they unfold I'll implement them into my right hand game. I think this will help me in the long run.
I see Jesse Eisenberg playing this guy in his movie
Jesse Eisenberg? Any relation to Howard Eisenberg?
Same man
@@vinjoushe6200 Umm, no. Howard was a New York pool hustler who died some years ago. His high run was around 250. I took lessons from him before he died.
Andrew_Owens- he wasn’t talking to you I don’t think
Hunter is a very professional and composed player. What makes him so good is his ability to adapt to his students ✊
This is probably the most helpful pool lesson I've ever watched, huge thanks to Rollie and Hunter for doing this and I can't wait to watch you guys in the tournament :p
Been playing for years. Studying, practicing, learning, and now.......I've learned things I never was taught and never knew. But now I do. So glad I got to see this video and it is apparent that Hunter is an amazing instructor!
I’ve met Hunter before when he came to Park Avenue in Orange Park. He’s a great player and definitely a great instructor. Nice vid Rollie!
Thank you Rollie for representing the average pool player everywhere.
Holy shit, this guy make Dr. Dave look over enthusiastic
Good stuff, Rollie. Hunter is serious about making you a competitor, I like that.
I love watching this series! Easy instruction, saves a couple of hundred dollars!
Free tips from real pros!
Wish you the best for tournament! I want to see you play with the legend Efren "BATA" Reyes! Maybe you can invite him to play with you :)
I would definitely watch, but that kind of air fair isn't cheap.
Looking forward to the videos following this, I learn a lot from watching these videos and it’s more helpful to see it coming from a pro- “average” player perspective instead of a pro direct video. This inspires me to build a little more and then finally go to see a pro once I feel that my fundamentals are more stable.
He's quite a good coach. Not the most charismatic dude ever, but knows a lot and has some great pointers.
I need to learn how you learn... Hunter is exceptional at the game and teaching the game...
Man, I could listen to Lombardo for ever.
I've had the opportunity to have two lessons (on pool) by a snooker coach PJ Nolan. He addressed some of the exact same issues in my cueing that Rollie had too. Fixing those made my game a lot more consistent. Rollie won't be average for much longer.
Also gotta note what a fantastic cue action Hunter has. Beautiful to watch.
15:53 perfect dp
What a great video! Thank you very much for sharing and good luck in the tournament. Don't be afraid of who you'll be drawing to play against. If it turns out to be Mr. SVB that would be a privilege that most of us don't have. You take it and put it in your belt. 👍🏽
P.S. Thank to Mr. Hunter for sharing his knowledge, very classy guy.
Make my arm part of my body? 😂😂😂 lol
UPDATE to my previous comment-putting into practice that tip about keeping the bridge hand arm relaxed and “draped” on the table, letting it anchor me and keep me down after the stroke, I ran out TWICE when playing 8-ball with my pool friends yesterday! And I came very close to a third runout-muffed a simple shot on the last ball and then fell perfectly on the 8. I’ve never run the whole set twice in one day before. THANK YOU HUNTER. And Rollie.
Rollie,im a disabled dude in wheelchair its on my bucketlist to spectate a major pool tournament to watch the pro players i idolize and learn from,it would be a great expriance,i mentioned to my niece i wanted her to take me to the derby city classic but her plans were messed up
Yo, this pro is real! Thanks for this video. This dude was spitting knowledge
Fundamentals are key in cue sports. I've just started playing again and feel the "Back to basics " approach works. Line , walk in and pace are so important. Good quality practice is definitely needed
Very good. I am an accomplished pool player and enjoyed every minute of this video. Putting the arm on the table to relax it was an eye opener that I am going to try tonight. I'm always trying to improve my game and this video really helped! Good job guys!
What Rollie is doing for the sport is great
Best of luck... I'll be watching
According to Fargo rate, Hunter is no where near sixth in the USA. Actually, he is 84th. Just saying.
He's 6th in WPA rankings among all Americans (behind SVB, Billy, Tyler, Corey, and Sky). But that's a bit misleading because he's one of the few American pros who travels to international events. Still a very good player though.
@@cakins1986WPA rankings are just players that can afford travel around the world. Fargo rate is based on how well you play. So... Out of all the players in America he is not even top 50. Imagine if those other players could travel, where he would be ranked in the WPA?
@@cakins1986 I agree with you though, don't get me wrong. He is a good player.
Shut up bro lmao, there's probably 10,000 players between you and him who would mop the floor with you. 84th in the US is impressive and you're commenting on youtube videos.
@@SamTehGr8 take it easy killer. I was just saying. Hence me saying "Just saying" . I know he is a good player. About a 100 points better than me according to Fargo.
I think you’ll fair well. Stretch your limits. You recreate shots by top pros. Now it’s your turn to make the shots that everybody talks about. Best of luck Rollie.
I've played pool for 50 years.. Still love it. It's been described as the most beautiful game in the world.. I think that's true
Poor Rollie! Kept trying to keep it light n breezy, only to get shut down by serious Hunter. But the tips are really on point!!
Free lessons! really informative thank you!!!
Thanks a lot for sharing this. With such an amazing coach, I'm sure you will go a long way in the tournament. Good luck to you Rollie.
Good luck man 👍hope you beat Shane van Boeing
Half way through the video and by far the best one you’ve done so far.
Im very excited for this serious. I wish you the best of luck! Work hard and i hope you can make it past the first couple of days.
Oh man keep this series going, the trainer is very good. I'll take away a lot just by watching.
Great video, thanks for doing this. Hunter knows what he's doing!!
Great video.
We need more videos like this. Real intruction in action.
Thank u rolly & kamui
nice to see their subscribers go up because of Rollie and the teams hard work! keep it up now above average Rollie!
Probably the best video you have ever made Rollie! Keep it up!
Another great video, I really enjoy your channel. I wish you the best of luck in The Open. Keep your head up and you’ll do great, thanks again. P.S. what’s your cue of choice.
Hunter is a beast. I hope he wins it all.
Thanks bro, COPPER HEAD CLUB 🍳
I mean 🎱🎱🎱👍☯️🙏 Winner buys Dinner 🍽
Man, you’ve improved a lot since your earlier videos.
Good luck!
Liked the vid, and after watching a bunch of your videos subscribed..
15:32 foul....worst teacher ever😂
Good video. I’m curious to know what your Fargo rating was at the time of this video 4 years ago and what it is now. Thx & cheers
Hunter is the best coach I've every seen.
Good luck Rollie! Great channel. Great video concept.
Thanks for this episode... Definitely worth watching 🎱
Great video! Simple corrections that help a lot. Got a feeling H. Lombardo doesn't suffer fools. BTW the best of luck Rollie!
Five minutes in and I already learnt something that I will be trying. Yes you cant always do it but laying your bridge hand and forearm down something I never do makes perfect sense.
This is one of your best videos, per it is much more focused & serious. Less joking around, which is what you need in this game....
Good luck!
I think you're better than average.
Atleast you're going to be.
I’ve played Snooker for 40 years. Waiting for Rollie to get the privilege of touching the cue case of some of the top players in the UK. Just kidding. Even after decades I still learn from everyone of his videos. Today it was slightly turning the bridge hand. Always trying to balance one’s natural style with slight adjustments.
After the US Open maybe you can consider visiting The Philippines and finally meeting with the Greatest Ever to play this game...The Magician Efren Reyes. 👍
Do jeremy jones and mark wilson! They're great teachers.
Subtle, yet extremely helpful! Thank you
Really enjoyable content--keep it up! And a massive "best of luck" in the tournament, too. :)
So fucking proud - go get em rollie!!!
Well done! I will stay tuned fo sho.
This guy sounds like Blaise Pascal "I love that about you, but it's gonna get you killed" hahahaha
Great video as always man! You're hilarious, and we're all rooting for you. Also, sorry, that kid is annoying...
is it a coincidence the first professionals haircut is the shape of a pool ball
This was excellent. Thank you both
I wish you luck Rollie. Having a trainer like Hunter sure is no drawback but I would strongly advice that you invest in some real match time in tournaments as well. Your noodle will bake very quickly once its go time if you only train with this dude until the event.
Hunter's ranking statement is misleading. Hunter is (723 rating) tied for 79th place on the Top 100 USA player list at Fargorate.com. He's nowhere close to making the World Top 100 list. Fargo ratings are based on capability as assessed from results of matches. I assume he must be referring to WPA ranking, where he is ranked 47th based on points earned in sanctioned events.
Really enjoyed this and learnt a lot.
Wow finally ! Let's see what you got !
I think you can win the whole thing! Pretend you’re in a John Candy movie and you’re done!
Lol wow put that on a pillow dude 😂😂😂
Nice input
Great vid Rollie!
One of the few players to play internationally.... because pool is basically mainly american. A few other countries have professional players, but the international circuit is pretty small.
your info is dated. pool is now huge all over the world. it's the national sport in the Philippines. You'll find only 8 Americans in the top 100, there are more top players from Taiwan alone.
"put that on a pillow man" bahahahaha
Ok, been playing pool close to 3 decades and did not know half of the stuff the dude is talking about (I was certified coach at some point but this stuff was not addressed at my time). Now pool is becoming as technical as golf - guess you need to get the fundamentals right.
Great video. This guy is intense. I bet they use him to train swipe keyboards on phones.
When is the US Open draw
Damn Rollie... that guy has a young justin bieber comb over
I didn’t know that Drake Parker (Drake Bell) was a pool player 😂
TimothyCobain he and Josh hustled the old camp mates 😂
Where is Rollie now ?
good luck mate
this guy ain’t average, he’s above
rollie, wasn't the 2019 us open last year?
Is he related to Hector Lombardo?
Hunter feels like the David Spade of pool
Hunter dude has good tempo. Probably this is the reason he is a pro 🤓
I did not know that Jake parelta is an excellent pool player!!!! Hot damn ! B99!
The only thing is that coach dude is so dominate and have non f- around method ! Rollie didn't have a chance to make any jokes 😂😂
Don’t get me wrong, I respect Hunter Lombardo, but he’s definitely not 5th or 6th ranked out of the American players. He’s number 83 on the Fargo list in America. 🤔 No need to lie dude.
How did pool turn to LIAM FRICKING NEESON
where are you based?
time to take lessons from the Goat"
Nice
12:40 “I like it bc I like u” hmmmmm pretty sus🤔🧐🤨
Make my arm a part of my body?
He is wrong about the bridge hand being straight, watch any snooker player. Always one preferably two fingers on the other side of the cue. Much more stable!
Guy i work with grew up with the current number one player. Forget his name. But hes def. And from south dakota. Awsome player
Cutlass 7687 Shane Van Boening is the name
@@LatinoBoy305 thats who it was.! Thank u. Didnt hav a chance to ask the guy i work with. And was too busy to look it up also.
