8-BALL FINAL | Shane Van Boening vs Rory Hendrickson | 2016 US Open 8-Ball Championship 

Make sure yall lower ur volume before u switch to a different vid. Ur welcome

Can we just acknowledge how wholesome these two commentators are

Love Van Boenings's game! He was born deaf, and that's why he talks that way. He is a super humble guy and a pleasure to watch.

Me: watching a relaxing game of pool, almost about to fall asleep 48:57 : DID I SAY YOU COULD SLEEP?!

This is so relaxing

Im just here to see if Pool is watchable, I think it is yes yes

I just recently started playing pool and watching Shane is something special. Wish I would’ve started younger to have seen him play more. Luckily theres a lot of Shane’s matches on RU-vid and feel beyond blessed to be able to witness some of his greatness. Seems like a very good human being based on what i have seen Oman’s heard of him. Knowing a little bit of his background im very happy he got to where he’s gotten getting through the obstacles in life his had to go through. Im 28 years old. Started playing 2/3 months ago and have noticed some improvement in my game and This is thanks to Shane. The cue control this man has is second to none. 🐐

Announcer: He’s gonna play the 4 or 5 but he’s also got 2 and 3 wide open. Pro: (Plays the 1)

Rory is a great guy. I bought my cue from him. He spent a LONG time watching me shoot to pick out the perfect shaft etc. Very much appreciated👍

8 ball pool app brought me here 😂😂

Shane running that 5th rack is one of the greatest examples of why 8 ball pool is such a challenging game. Less than a handful of people in the world have the knowledge and skill to do that.

These commentators need more credit man

This Rory H. is one hell of a great guy! Unreal that he and Shane end up in the finals of the US Open 20 years later! Great match by 2 great competitors. Congrats!

I just turned 21 about 6 months ago and have been playing a lot of pool at bars and am starting to get into it. Holy fuck these guys are insane, I didn’t know that even pros regularly just make every shot before the other player can even get a chance.

These commentators are like listening to ASMR

1:21:54 very clean jump shot and from the the camera angle it looked like it went through the 10 ball.

Loved watching every moment of this Final. 1:21:59 was magic and it happened so quickly it really just looks like he was shooting it straight in with nothing in the way. I had to rewatch it like 3 times to fully appreciate it.

These guys are better then I am in the 8ball pool game with guidelines LOL

I wish other professional athletes were as modest and professional as Shane. He just goes out and does it. No boasting, no bloviating. Rory Hendrickson was great, especially for playing only one time a week. Thanks for a great video!

Me playing one of those guys at a bar : it would never be my turn....

Aww that dude coached Shane when he was 11 that's awesome

Thank you CSI you've always been great on presenting championships . What a great channel .. thank you for supporting pool .

Hey everybody, I met Mike Massey in Memphis when I played Johnny Archer in an after hours tournament at the Rack off Lamar Ave Memphis TN! I was only a 7 and won game one, so 4 games up and I missed leaving him open shot , it was sweet but short as he ran 10 straight and won the tournament after he won 9 ball championship at Hilton hotel if I'm correct ..... great experience and I'll try to play again in 2024 against a 256 player field if I can get my legs back guys ! Dreamed it my whole life since early nineties ! Gratitude ☝️ unconditional love ❤️ compassion ☝️ ❤️ ty all for all the wonderful accomplishments guys,it's been a real honor being there and watching both ! ❤️

Wow. Shane has now won the 2016 U.S. Open 8-Ball, 9-Ball & 10-Ball Championships. Amazing!

Cheers for the upload its the first 8 ball match i have watched. Really enjoyed it, shame about the over screw for position on the black by Hendrickson.

my sound is on 100% and I still cant hear the whispering commentators

2016: Nope. 2017: Nope. 2018: Nope. 2019: Nope 2020: hEy LoOk At ThIs

I've never been a fan of pool but this video and the skills shown are really just fun to watch.

Pool is awesome like if you agree

When you're in with Shane.......you're in with the big boys. Love to watch that guy shoot. Rory is holding his own pretty well.

why am I watching this? I've never played pool in my life HAHAHAHAHAHA

I fall asleep every time I watch this it’s entertaining but their voice is so calm and soothing it makes me fall asleep 🤣

no guidelines

I love how calm these commentators are

They are using legendary cues with full power bars

I don't know much about professional pool, but I'm surprised that a major tournament has such a small crowd and seems like such a small event in general. Pool is a pretty popular sport played in pretty much every city in the U.S. You would think more people would be interested in it.

Rory was such a graceful loser. A very good sport altogether. You could tell he was really having fun overall

Thanks for this great match and awesome commentary guys

All of the videos I've seen from u.s. open are quiet, but great players and camera angles are the best

Rory Hendrickson is a beast.

I came back from watching snooker and the table looks so small haha

7:27 when the commentator mentioned rorys take back stroke is exactly like shanes and that rory used to teach shane, it all finally made sense!!! Lol. I always wondered about shanes unique take back stroke and now ik. Thanks for pointing that out commentator.🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great match, low volume. The bane of RU-vid.

That is not what I imagined Shane sounding like. Nothing wrong with it but it just took me by surprise because he has such a stern look and such and innocent voice

it got very awkward at the end 😂😂😂😂 lmao

I've barely ever played pool but this was satisfying for some reason.

Great game! Owe it to the champ Van Boening, nonetheless great showcase by Hendrickson. Thanks for the video! 👍

Congrats CSI this video hit a million views.

No one is going to comment about how this is literally North Dakota [Hendrickson] vs. South Dakota [SVB]? The midwest is the silent beast of Billiards.

just came here from watching snooker. this table is so small lol

Watching the games because of Pool and players❌ watching it to listen to ASMR commentary ✔️

I played pool for the first time a few days ago and damn this is so fun to watch

1hour 47 min i didnt want to laugh but when shane started laughing i couldnt help it ha

Best camera work I've seen

I love the teeny-tiny table, and massive pockets! You know it makes sense!

44:40 when he said how many times done this shot and scratch on side..... 🤣🤣🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Action starts at 5:20

Is it just me, or do the commentators have calming voices LOL

commentator: funny things happen in the pool world me: what is this guy talking about

i'm just going to address all the common comments here. 1. the table is 7-foot. they use a 7-foot because the balls are more likely to bunch together, making break and runs less common. for huge tables, go watch the 10-ball bigfoot challenge. 2. 8 ball on the break doesn't need to mean a win. the only reason people play like that is because on a coin op table, you can't get the ball back. 3. a shot clock doesn't make sense for 8-ball pool. 8-ball is all about smart pattern play, adding a shot clock would just diminish the quality of play. 4. o'sillivan would get his ass kicked. if you don't believe me, watch ronnie o'sullivan vs johnny archer in the ipt. 5. efren reyes was good, but, he's an old ass man now. let efren have his retirement. 6. first place prize was like $11000. the reason it's so low is because it shared a prize pool with the us open 10-ball. also, the us open 9-ball in 2019 had a first place prize of $50000. the mosconi cup also has a prize pool of about $50000. i once played a tournament at a college and won a t-shirt. so, idk what the complaint is.

Very impressive! Those guys are very intelligent, they don't only shot the ball to put it in the "trou" but they also think about where the white ball will go and what possibilities that give tto them! I will train and hopers have one day a level near this!

I suck at pool I'm just watching this for ASMR and now I want my pool table back. I sold it.

*Bring ronnie o'sullivan at this table and see the magic* 🔥

Yo Shane! Saw a video of you talking with Efen the magician, loved it! introduced me as a fan

hendrickson plays like my dad

1:52:07 Really like how passionate she was presenting the trophies to Rory and Shane 😂🤦‍♂️

I love when balls clank against other ball's

So weird watching this while knowing that my dad went to college with rory and got to play him a couple times. Rory's sister married one of my dad's best friends who attended his wedding and has a fargo rating of 640. Got to play with my dad's friend and he destroyed me and my dad teaming up against him. So weird watching them all have the same stroke as rory

Counted how often they said " Balls" 229939399292 Times

Wow! I used to play billiard when I was younger, now I can make billiard RU-vid videos.

It comforts me to know that 5.4 million other people were also procrastinating on work

اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد

Iam to be 2019 USA champ from Australia!

I came to the comments column early to mention the low volume,but it seems like 38 people beat me to it.😅 TURN IT UP !!!!

commentary was great in this one

The umpire/referee coming along to take that triangle away with his strong hand

LMAO! The pockets are buckets! I want to play

Man did is the first ever long video I watched all of it

8ball is Shane's favorite game tho? his family raised him on that not rotation or one pocket etc. His 8ball game has always been great.

Professional pool players by there self because they clear the rack all the time so they dont need anyone

15:50 we cannot let this slide 😭😭

I love 8 ball pool

I'd love to see these guys play Pro Snooker.

Hate the two camera coverage. Rarely get to see the arm action and stroke of the players. Who cares what to ball looks like going into the pocket? Show some technique please. Dont just copy the BBC snooker method, which effectively hides Ronnie's technique so well.

1:21:54 so sick

They sure are talented, wow

I love you Ronnie o sullivan and Mark selby

Love the stare down at 16:40 😂😂

This pool table is so small

Wish your videos were louder so I don't get my ears blown out every time a commercial comes on.

The title SAYS 2018, but the commentator says 2016....

Where is the shot clock when you need one

26:27 the guy in tje gray shirt 😂😂

These guys are good at pool

That domino’s ad nearly blew out my eardrums

Today that person coughing would’ve set the whole room in panic 9:33

What's up with the bar size table? How long has professional play been on bar size??

Imma recommend everyone here

Why there are no guidelines?

after watching a lot of snooker and coming here to watch this, seems like a kids game on a small table
