Trump could catch up quick tbf, he has Almost a quarter of the titles Reyes has in a fraction of the time already, be interesting to see how many pool titles he can claim down the road on top of the snooker ones It's just a shame most pool players don't go the other way, (it's a lot easier going from snooker to pool) it would have been good to see the likes of Strickland and Reyes take on the big snooker tournaments over this side of the 'pond'

@andy That’s nonsense, if you review your losses, you can learn from mistakes made, learn areas you need to work on to win next time. If you‘d never lost (or came very close to it), have you really ever been challenged? Also, no one starts off an expert in, sports for example, name someone who has never lost, you grow and learn as you move up in leagues, levels, age, whatever. What about learning you need to work harder so as not to lose? Very naive if you think you can’t learn from losing, you should be learning every time you compete- win lose or draw.

Yeah welcome judd just don't get shot..... well you are in America.

@@mescellaneous The skill level of snooker is for sure higher then pool billiards. But its not easy for snooker player to play pool because the hit point of the balls is different, tactical play is different, cushion and ball action is different and many other details. All top snooker players would lose against good pool billiard players.

@@udtojanpestillos2094 bro it aint billiards, its 9 ball pool. Billiards doesnt have pockets

Exactly. End of debate 👍👍

They are both difficult, but I dont think anyone of sound mind would say pool is more difficult...

@@SubjectiveFunny my man

I tend to agree, smaller table with different ball rolls of the cushion normally find out a snooker player, but having said thad Judd would wipe the floor with these guys on a snooker table, and can still do so on the pool format

I don’t think you’re wrong, but I will point out that there are loads of competitive rooms and leagues in every country to develop your pool skills as a snooker player, but very few solid snooker rooms or leagues to develop your skills with in most countries. An American pool player trying to break into snooker is like an American baseball player breaking into cricket. He or she would basically have to move to another country to develop competitive match play experience. Not easy to do. But yes, it’s also a more difficult sport.

not at all, snooker is much more difficult discipline, the pockets are narrower and closer the object ball is to the cushion, the harder is potting it...

At the end of the day, if you clear up from the break and the winner breaks next, you could beat God if you break first. Judd is a cue master, he shouldn't be scared of anyone to be fair. If he breaks well, he wins! Ronnie would be the same🤔

What about in the election?

Funny how the commentator was basically saying he needs to learn the angles, but ended up missing 2 shots. The discipline in snooker makes for a vicious potter. Look at mgees posture and cueing technique, i see better in the pub.

@@bromarvids5186 Could you name the bad things you've noticed? I'm a beginner and trying to improve...fundamentals is the way to go.

​@@TheNuggzt3r look how low Judd gets when taking his shots, his cue is nice & flat, parallel to the table. judds back hand comes through the shot nice & straight. by comparison, Joe barely bends down, so his cue is angled down into the table

@@robcaseyire Thank you! Always looking for things to improve my stroke.

@@TheNuggzt3r there's also the legs, the leg on the same side as the arm you hold the cue should be straight and the foot pointing in the direction of the shot, while the other leg bends a little. Mcgee's legs stay to the side of the cue, really ugly stance

Yeah particularly the angles, but he adapted extremely quickly

And snooker is not 100x harder. It's about 30% harder. Everything is smaller so ratios are the same but the size of table is longer making it about 30% harder. Played both and prefer snooker as it is much more exciting.

@@ddeboy002 9 ball is much more about power, while snooker is about finesse. You can see in the weight of the cue. As the commentators have said, any top shelf snooker player could make a name for themselves in pool, but not the other way round.

@@cylejh wrong. I can hit the rack at 25% power and make a wing ball every time.

@@ddeboy002 Put any Pro Pool player up against any Pro snooker player and play 100 racks of Pool, then 100 racks of Snooker. The Snooker player has a good chance of winning playing pool, the Pool player has ZERO chance of winning playing snooker, and it wouldn't even be a surprise to see the Snooker player win the snooker 100 - 0.

@@ddeboy002 You've never played snooker mate, Go play one frame of Snooker and come back and try to tell us it's something you just made up in your own head like 30% more difficult?

He wouldnt like to match Judd in first round. I'm sure he is a better player than it looks today.

Some of his shots looked like he had money on the outcome tbh

@@philiphaycock3845 dude you ain't lyin. I thought to myself, "This is the US Open, dude can't be THAT bad." But the more you watch his body language when he misses a shot, it's like he doesn't really care... Seems strange.

@@philiphaycock3845 that’d be crazy if true, but to me it looked like he just got caught up and intimidated by how good trump is and how easy he was potting the balls. Was almost a way for joe to detach himself from the reality of what was happening lol

@@broy310 ya his expression looked like he knew this was an exhibition almost.

That isn't a fact, but he's very good. 5 isn't enough lol

In fact I'm not even sure you could say he's in the top 5 snooker ones either! So many amazing players over the years.

he comes 6th in terms of most titles in snooker, and yes I know you're talking about his technique etc., and not wins, but it don't mean shit if you don't win. Anyway, I know this was 7 months ago but I had to chime in.

😂

What does that make Jayson Shaw then, considering he white washed Trump? 😂😂

It looks like he’s never even played pool before, you American pool players are terrible

actually not a bad idea

think pretty much all bar one have been useless at snooker, most snooker players relax into pool quite easily

I'm not sure I'd like to see that. I don't mean to discredit Pool players, but Snooker is much, much harder. The top Snooker players might not be able to beat the top Pool players at Pool, but even fairly average Snooker players would wipe the floor with top Pool players at Snooker.

@@Bagio1221 and who was this one cause I dont remember a single pool player doing anything of note in snooker

​@@spareumbrella8477 it's actually the opposite. Most top pool pros are decent at snooker, but the best snooker players in the world (Ronnie, Trump, etc.) are trash at pool. Selby was originally a pool player and has won snooker world championships. Efren beat Ronnie at snooker back in the day. Jayson Shaw - the only actual pro that Trump played (who spanked him 11-0 or 10-1) has a 145 break. Snooker just isn't a hard game with the small balls, open pockets, about 50 balls to choose from, and the patterns get super repetitive. Plus the table is a bit bigger (12 ft vs the 9 or 10 feet typical in pool), so there's a lot more open space to work with (people who don't play pool usually don't realize that for good players it gets easier to break and run as the tables get bigger).

lmao to JUST realized it was nick i think hes awsome commentator bravo nick

I couldn't stop thinking how much he sounded like John Malkovich.

And was quite knowledgeable about the game. Good commentating for sure.

@@uriahotten3895 Bucket pockets

Thanks mate, we love you too. :-) I watch snooker, you 'should' watch more pool, it's good stuff. Take a look at some professional carom (three cushion pool), likely the most difficult stick and table game out there. When Ronnie came to the states and tried it out you could tell he really liked it...he said something about the delayed satisfaction, as many times up to five and occasionally six rails are involved in a shot, and pocketing counts exactly 0%, as there aren't any on the table. I was a bit surprised how well Ronnie adapted, totally different than snooker. And by difficulty I mean in running strings. Two completions on an inning is considered pro level play, and more than twenty is virtually unheard of, though it has happened, as I understand it. Also one pocket might hold some appeal, the strategy there has been likened to making it the chess of pool.

it's too stiff and ugly for elite pool.. you Judd cultists are weird.. he's not remotely an elite pool player... snooker yes, not pocket pool. Not by a long shot.

So smooth with his right hand the commentators didn't even notice he switched to shoot the 9 ball... Truly a freak.

Well no he's used to snooker, with a table twice the size and absurdly tight pockets

@@EannaButler yeah, I was a little confused on that too. Never played to a clock before.

If judd plays 9 ball like this, then I reckon he could play 8 ball with his eyes closed. His positioning turned out to be exquisite after frame 1 so you can see he has what it takes

Never,cause pool sucks

I see snooker players try to play pool. But I never see pool players play on a 6x12 regulation snooker table in England.

Quite a lot of sportsmen use this technique of practicing with a smaller version of their sport to give them an edge. Eg. Michael Phelps would practice the butterfly in a paddling pool.

Magee literally played so bad you or I could have won this match tbh

@@whysosalty2185 that's just an impression believe me. If you are a good really good amateur player lets say aaa or semi pro you should know that the biggest gap in skill is actually between semi pros and pros. He is playing that bad just because he could not handel the pressure, knowing who judd trump is and knowing what he is capable of. But if any pro plays against you believe me you will be consistently struggling to win one or 2 racks in a best of 11

Judd can raise him game to ridiculously exceptional levels.

@@monopinion7824 I think he played really bad not showing much ball control, using the wrong spin @5:40 caused him to scratch and lose the first match. To be fair Judd also played very defensively not giving McGee any room to breath when possible. But what else to be expected from #2 Snooker player? Just kind of a wasted opportunity to see him face someone more skilled.

@@theintergalactictransdimen4122wrong spin ? I thing he misjudged the shot, and scratched but what do you mean wrong spin ? It depends on the angle he had he could have been playing right spin with a little bit of high to avoid the middle pocket for 3 rails or low left to avoid the middle pocket. But believe it has nothing to do with wrong spin... Anyway Judd tried competitive pool he was ok for a pro i hope he will do it again. He can only get better at it with his skills.

They are different games completely. This is a video of 9 ball, so keep snooker comparisons out of it as they have no context or reference to this video.
