Oh, hi Darren

It's nice to hear the commentary from a guy who is actually playing in this tournament. Not that other people don't know the game, but Appleton will be playing SVB before the weekend is over. That gives his statements a lot more gravitas.

KJT Clan 🖕😖🤝😛👍 hahaha LET GO Of MAH HAND!!! 😤

deuel knew he didn't really deserve it

That's Stu Mattana. Probably the greatest pool historian/repository of general pool knowledge ever.

@@theabhorrentchef7226 Still around. Big in Europe.

The ceiling wasn't high enough at this event.

The one part of SVB's game I can duplicate.

Commentators curse

Lmaoo, I laughed when I heard that😂

There's good money in it

robert meadows 😂😂😂

Absolutely

"Running" English has that tendency, right Pat?

Not much “safing” in 8 ball at this level. I think only two safes all match. It’s run out or get run out on. But the outs are much more interesting than in rotation.

Need more 8 ball matches. Its better to watch. The pros actually have to use their brains and make a few mistakes making it more interesting. 9 and 10 ball is way to repetitive and easy for players of their caliber.

@@benkaiser4518 Agreed. Have you ever seen the Bonus Ball series that went on for a bit? It's on YT. I talked to one of the pros that was at the hall one day (while ago, but I think it might have been Justin Hall..was at Clicks, Orlando area) that played in it, and he said it was his favorite game, behind one pocket. You need to go look up the rules first, or you won't have a clue what is going on, but I really enjoyed it once I figured it out. Many top pros on the teams and a few REALLY good amateurs. Talk about strategy, whoever came up with it had quite an imagination. Combines almost every pool game there is (except 3 cushion), even has game (and turn) time clocks and stuff, and some aspects of Snooker, too. One team gets two corner pockets and the opposing side pocket, the other team gets the three remaining..and they are on colors, so the safing is like one pocket, but with two more pockets available...like I said, tons of strategy. Appleton, Strickland, Archer, and many many more played in it. There were two seasons before the money ran out...too bad it did, MHO. They had audio on at least some (maybe all?) of the players, so you can hear them planning strategy and working out patterns...pretty cool.

Me too 🤣 I swear I couldn’t understand him either, I thought it was an Asian guys name too 😂

Gary Kessinger mr. fleming will be inducted into the pool gods some day 💜

Yes, if not as a player ... for his tournament directing / promoting and especially for what ACCU-STATS has done for all pool lovers --- !!!

@@wombra8314 GOOD NEWS! Pat is a member of the BCA Hall of Fame.

CAL7A 🔥~ 👋🏻🎱👄🎱🤚🏻 awesome!

Better than having mike sigel rambling on in there

@@noahpatton4632 Roger that!

Great comment I literally scrolled down to read as they were just fucking chuckling over each other’s comments...

YES OF COURSE COREY LOSES AT 8 BALL. PLENTY OF TIMES. WATCH THE ACCU-STATS VIDEOS. VIDEO POSTED LAST WEEK SHOWS HIM LOSING AT THIS TOURNAMENT.

O

It is because Corey hits very soft on the break because he does a second ball break. You can afford to hit a lot softer on the second ball break and need a lot more cue ball control due to low and/or left that you put on the cue ball to try and make it go back into the rack. That is a lot harder to do with a harder tip that generally comes on a break cue. So the shot is not damaging to his cue or cue tip like it would be if he hit hard.

My thoughts exactly. Corey doing stupid shit is given, but Shane looks very sketchy here.

😂🤦🏼‍♂️

I've given up on avoiding double entendres when talking about pool. I just try to keep my balls clean and my shaft slick and stroke away.

Game 14 which Corey racked was an 8 ball break, and the fourth row was 14-9-2-10, 3 stripes and one solid. And incidentally the table was pretty well spread out, with the groups mixed.

hit mute

nor was corey...

Shane was there mentally for the side bet on his loss :)

I know what you mean but i think it's only because shane always beats him!

@@licoricesaffron Not always. I´ve seen another 8 ball match between then and Shane got beaten

Probably stems from that goat roping that Shane put on him in that 2007 TAR Invitational 10-ball match. 😎

Corey was THE MAN among U.S. pros until SVB came along and stole his thunder. Probably always been a little bitter over that. And as mentioned SVB thumping him in 2007 changed pool forever.

dnSnake : Thats a lie you commented. Cory & Shane are good friends. 2 thumbs down on your comment. 👎👎🇺🇸🇺🇸🎱

Agreed! Point On, bro. I've resigned to muting them and playing music while watching. Best regards, Joe from FL.

yes

He doesn't like to do it unless he has too, but he is willing to kiss balls.

I don't understand what you're trying to say

Neither of them looked like they were having a lot of fun. I think it was Shane being frustrated because he dogged a few shots and Corey because he struggled to capitalize on Shane's errors. Neither of them were having their best day at the table. They usually seem to be happier.

They do have a bit of a rivalry, but I think most players do become more serious when playing in a tournament environment, there's more pressure and more at stake than usual.

He missed two 8 balls and he lost.. that means he didn’t play as well as shane lol

@@toddrobertson1398?

@@toddrobertson1398 He lost? Watch the ending again and Dude, lay off the Absolut.

@@toddrobertson1398 Oh right... he lost at losing

Haha, no idea why they keep dressing like race drivers. They look like clowns.

I disagree

@@user-hh9ni8su3p Billy incardona talks way too much, and over Darren far too much. Other than that I like Darren commentating.

In a big event, not likely... even the best in the world have bad days.

Sorry, no! I was there. Corey wanted to do bumpers on the prize money. Many of the players agree before the match on what usually is a 75-25 or 70-30 split. Shane refused. Given all the money Shane gets in sponsorships, it seemed kind of selfish. It got to both players. Watch to the end you'll see Corey not letting go of Shane's hand. He's reminding him how his greed got him $0

What she said.

Dan Conway rack thing lol 😂👍 i hate seeing balls diverge off it 😡🐛

So many times people leave it on the table instead of picking it up, or it sits on the rail dangling over the playing surface. Is an imperfect rack that bad? It's not that hard to get a decent rack if the cloth is in good shape.

It's not a rack its garbage bring back the vacurack! Get this trash out of all pool!

The best we ever had!

Billy is one of the best

What Billy is great...

I always enjoyed listening to Billy

Edit- i meant BEST!

it's just a couple bad apples.,,,. pun now intended lol. accu stats is king. i think the danny D pairing is legend. it's the JJ's that NEVER stfu and seem to be getting paid by the word. ....narrating every revolution of the ball ffs

Your spelling is the worst.

51Dss wtf the players and the commentators together make for compelling viewing if you don’t want world class pool and commentary watch the billiard brothers you channel.they show some nice tournament’s without commentary

I disagree. I think they provided informative commentary.

Then turn it down..listen to Appleton. You might learn something

hit mute quit complaining

@@wombra8314 hit mute moron
