Anyone have a favorite match or rally? Could be Jahangir vs Geoff in the 5 setter for the British, or anything. The best rally I've every seen was the Palmer/Selby rally available on you tube. The best match was James and Palmer a few months ago, I forget the actual tournament.

Palmer/Selby?! That was cool.. but not an as amazing get as the Ricketts/ Ramy rally where Ramy does a full-out dive to get it. There's load of amazing rallys though...there's a good willsrop/white rally on u-tube.

Meh the Ramy and Ricketts one only really has the one good shot in it where Ramy does that great dive. The rest of the rally is only just better than average.

Where can I see the jahangir vs Geoff rally. I've never seen Geoff play and have only seen a few short seconds of jahangir play.

I think you're seriously discounting the Ramy/Ricketts rally... that ball was hit by the machine-gun Ricketts! The ball Palmer returned was hit by Selby. Whatever...

What about the Palmer/Power rally at 14 all in the semi final of the 2001 Super Series in London.

One of the best ever and at such a pivotal point in the match.

Palmer had the balls all the way - absolute quality.

I think you're seriously discounting the Ramy/Ricketts rally... that ball was hit by the machine-gun Ricketts! The ball Palmer returned was hit by Selby. Whatever... Palmer returned 4 amazing shots from all different corners in a row to hit a winner. It doesn't matter who hit the ball, what matters is how good and fast the shot is and Palmer and Selby were playing on a faster paced court. If Ramy had picked which way Ricketts was going he would've got their easy with no dive. The shot wasn't even that fast compared to a low hard normal drive it was just tricky. Ramy went the wrong way and had to dive to get it back. Whatever.. nmC8 That rally isn't that great. It's exciting but their are alot better rallies available for free out there. Talking pivotal points and amazing rallies then go watch John White vs Gaultier rallies. They have a million good ones in different matches for different match and game balls. Malcom Willstrop rates one of them as the best rally he's seen.

Actually, I find it much easier to retrieve ball on a faster court, like the Sel/Palmer court than a glass. And Pamer's returns against selby aren't as good because its selby, and he's more readable... basically, I'm just saying that Ricketts' schooling/fooling Ramy is worth more than Selby givin' Palmer a tour o' court. But that was a crazy rally that they had.. I think Palmer didn't prep proper or stayed out later the night before playing selby. In that rally, given the same opportunities that selby had to put Plamer away, I think Ramy would have done it and Palmer would not have been able to retrieve those shots.

The ones with Power are my fav. Power's funny, Gaultier's a funny guy too.
