Earl is teaching the world. I really learned alot just by watching thoose matches with his classic commentary

Earl your commentary is the among the best I've heard and I've watched old old games and newer. Never doubt yourself. You're you, which is different than others but that's not a bad thing.

Earl's commentating is incredible.

Best commentary EVER! The mighty Earl! 🤟😎

this series with Earl is historic!

This is the advantage of having an experienced & a versatile billiard player as a commentator. I learned a lot

Earl is the best commentating, I learn so much from him!

BN.. will you work with Earl and make video showing how “placement pool” is played? Thanks

For me, this is the best Earl commentated match ever. Next time, upload one of a pointless match coupled with an hour and a half of Earl telling road stories.

Love these matches with Earl commentating! Perhaps in the future he could do some 8 Ball? Mix it up a bit? It’s always 9 Ball! I’m one of those “amateur players out there” that he’s always referring to! 😉

Earl is awesome! More Earl. I really learn a lot from Earl's commentary.

Earl says about Hohman’s competitor “I’ve never seen him play....I don’t even know if I’m pronouncing his name right “. Classic Earl😀

"They look at him more than the table" hahaha Earl is so funny.

I look forward to watching these... Earl's commentating is great like this and I feel like I learn a lot just from listening....

Thorsten always wears a shirt that is two sizes too small.

Earl is originally from my area. He's much older than me but still yet he's originally from North Carolina. I know this one guy that got hustled buy stricklin because Earl had a little bit of a disguise on. This was in Thomasville North Carolina which is around the center of the state. Zero comes in pretty decent size pool joint with maybe 30 - 40 tables give or take. He just completely altered his look because he wanted to hustle people and we're talkin when he was apparently at his prime back in the early to mid 90s so you know he had to seriously disguise himself.

@42:50 that sure looked like a good shot. It’s good to see such sportsmanship.

Selected random thoughts i had while watching: 25:07 (15 seconds) Yes, the 2 did go in. You can't tell that by looking, though, because of the bad camera work that is apparently mandated by law for all billiard matches. 41:38 (3 seconds) Hallelujah! Tell 'em louder, Earl. They didn't hear you. 1:05:22 (11 seconds) 1:15:37 (20 seconds) More than most, Earl, you've already shown on the table that you know what you're talking about damned well. You have nothing to prove to ANYONE. So, forget about other commentators. They never missed a single shot from the booth. 1:18:57 (45 seconds) Personally, i don't think that EVERY shot has to be foretold. I think you should lighten up on yourself a bit, Earl. I actually like the occasional tangential statement, like these: 55:34 (26 seconds) and 1:16:48 (27 seconds).

Earl is right about us weekend players. Years ago in Elizabeth NJ, I played a pro as a weekend player. It was Billie Billings and she beat me 75 to 3 in straight pool. Don't ever think these pros aren't as good as they look!

Earl, how do you aim? Cj Wiley talks about how pros "connect" the cue/object ball together the best. If you can, please explain.

WE WANT EARL PLAYING “placement pool” , WHILE COMMENTARY ON HIMSELF

Spot on commentary

Love the fact that a man who made a million dollar combination shot can say he’s not very good at combinations.

“Yeah, he landed just right. Now this one’s tricky.”

15:54 Earl says he has to kill the ball with a lot of right, and then after the shot he still says he used a little right. What’s the point of using spin when you already have ball in hand? Also, doesn’t right spin liven the cue ball instead of killing it?

Awesome safety battle in rack # 10!

Earl the Pearl

Correct the title pls,its not German Open but Austria Open, Klagenfurt is in Austria🙂

can someone explain what exactly Earls "replacement pool" is in reference to? Im not familiar with any billiards game by that name

I've grown to enjoy listening to Earl.

Pls have all matches as Earl as commentator.

One of the best 9 ball players ever. But you know pool is a lot like golf or tennis because it's mental. Last I heard he was living in New York and giving lessons. Also still hustling. You guys should go check out Joe Rogan interview Strickland in a pool room. I guess would be one of the better play by play guys if you wanted to do that 4 the big events on TV. I guess they figure he's a potential casualty which just might be right LOL. Can you imagine Earl just losing it in the middle of a play-by-play LOL SMH man that would be a trip. You know he would probably just lose it once if someone in the crowd booed him for whatever reason. In this Joe Rogan interview, that I mentioned , he seems to be a little more laid-back and I think he's probably taking some medication these days. It was pretty obvious that he was bipolar and I think he even speaks on that in this Joe Rogan interview but hey guess what is a decent interview and it's about a year ago

Earl is the the stone cold steve Austin of pool and he needs recognize for it.

Earl Strickland, you are a great player. You are always complaining about players getting lucky. With your skills I wish you would concentrate on 1 Pocket. You would Excel now if you put your full effort into it.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @27:40 "What in the world is this?!?!?!?! Its like a small wand or something"

A real professional Hohman

I agree about what earl says about placement pool, they take way too long otherwise

hold up. so with this rule you can make absolutely nothing on the break and still have a push out? You stay on the table?? What in the actual heck is that about. How on Earth does that make sense by any means??

He will hit it hard, or soft... yeah, medium, just like that.

"He did exactly what i said"

Still wishing for a "Telestrator" for Earl.

Homan out of stroke, other guy in

Nude jack and Jill tourneys is the answer.
