Agreed. He's not the most interesting or entertaining commentator, but I always learn a ton about how to play better when I listen to his commentary.

😂😂😂😂

He doesn't call shots wrong, the player took the wrong shot

Not gonna happen, I only play 8 ball and 10 ball.

Diamond tables have killed 14.1 permanently.

@@jesserice9100 What do you mean?

@@jesserice9100 we can play on a parking lot if you like that surface better. Sheet of plywood? Run it.

Straight pool is the mother of all pool games.

Thanks

Thanks Bob!

Well said

For the break to be valid you need to bring 3 balls above to break line

@@samuelvicente511 Ok I googled better and this is for this tournament, thanks. Rules from 2017: 1.17 Three point rule (only for 9‐Ball) In order to avoid that players are using the so‐called “soft‐breaks” that would allow increased control over breaks and allow advantages beyond what was foreseen when the 9‐Ball discipline was Version 01.01.2017 Page9 Euro Tour Regulations 2017 introduced, the EPBF has decided to introduce special break rules. The following rules are to be seen as an addition to the WPA 9‐Ball rules that otherwise are valid in all EPBF events: Additional demands for a satisfactory break: At least three (3) object balls must either be pocketed or touch (see special notes below) the head string as a result of a break in order for it to be satisfactory. Any combination of the above (i.e. 1 object ball pocketed and 2 object balls touching the head string, or 2 object balls pocketed and 1 object ball touching the head string) is also satisfactory. Failure to meet additional conditions: If a player fails to fulfil the additional demands, but is otherwise performing a legal break, the break is considered non‐satisfactory and the following rules are to be followed: 1. If the 9‐ball has been pocketed it shall be re‐spotted before play is continued. 2. The opponent may choose either to accept the table as it is, or hand it back to the player that performed the break. 3. In case the opponent accepts the table as it is, he/she will not be allowed to perform a push‐ out. 4. If the table is handed back to the player that performed the break, he/she is allowed to perform a push‐out. If a push‐out is being played the opponent has the option to accept the table as it is, or again hand the table back. Special notes: A. The WPA rules for 9‐Ball are to be considered at all times, and the special 9‐Ball break rules as described in the above are additions to these rules, valid for a tournament only when introduced beforehand. B. Whenever a break is legal according to the WPA rules, and the above additional demands for a satisfactory break (if in use) has been met, the player on the table is allowed to perform a push‐out. C. In order to meet the additional demands for a satisfactory break, object ball(s) do not have to cross the head string completely. It is enough if any part of an object ball, as seen from above, is breaking the head string. D. If an object ball crosses the head string and returns into a pocket, it is only counted as 1 ball achieving the required rule, not 2.

Can you explain to me why the first break of the game was a foul! Thanks

@@karlnassar8646 three balls have to cross the headstring

have to get 3 balls past head string for valid break.

@@harper626 I see, thanks mate!

Three point rule

I don't get it either, people say "3 point rule" but that means nothing to me. Some websites say you have to pocket a ball, others say you have to drive 3 or 4 balls to the rail, other websites have completely mixed rules lol, very confusing

Three points rule

Thanks for watching!

Three points rule

@@billiardnetwork Clearly no one knows what the 3 points rule is dude, explain it to us!! No one knows the rule... as far as we are concerned, you hit the 1 and pocket a ball and carry on. This game has everyone confused as to the rules of a break

I'm just as confused too, i've watched many a game of 9 ball and this one has me googling all the rules and nothing is straight forward lol

​@@WhatsInAName718dude, never trust women

Females playing pool in general I guess

@@dist221 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I would guess it was playing too slow, so he used armorall to make it play faster. but you never know with Earl, he could have just made that up. And most likely he did, and he was joking. Then again, he is crazy, and he might have actually done it.

I think they both have an equal seat in the 1 slot. Co-rulers if you will

Three points rule

@@billiardnetwork you say that like i know what the rule is...what is the three points rule

same question. I noticed it too. Did she not get enough balls past side pocket. Not sure about their rules.

Youre creepy

If I'm not mistaken Thorsten said once that he plays (or at least used to play) with one long sleeve to keep the left arm warm, it moves less than the shooting hand, therefore, it needs more heat; also all black sleeve may be less distracting than brighter skin

@@robertkozowski2052 Thank you!

Earl also said that reyes is better than him...

Illegal break, three points rule in place

@@billiardnetwork Yep, I forgot about that. Thanks

do u follow professional pool?

@@billiardnetwork Just the mens honestly.

@@billiardnetwork No disrespect,but I’ve seen less missed balls and player errors at a local B-C tournament. Even the great Earl Strickland is baffled most of the time.

I'm with you on that. And, Pagulayan (it's him you're talking about, right?) is far from the only one like that. More and more players seem to be doing it, these days. Playing both quickly and well is equated to playing by 'natural talent'. And, for some reason, 'natural talent' is like a curse word in billiards.

Fixed, or is it?… she uses so many versions it’s hard to keep track
