Earl commentating is GREAT! Its hilarious, informed, and just generally makes me laugh!! I'd watch a match he commentated on PURELY for the sake of listening to him. Earl, you're THE MAN

Pool announcing has gotten better since Earl calling the shots. Good to hear about Shane Van Boening......I used to watch him play when he was a kid in Rapid City, South Dakota and I knew he was going to be something great then.

I agree. I love Earl commentary. They are entertaining, funny and on point with most shots. Whilw watching pro games I often wonder where they are hitting the cue ball and Esrl makes it easy. Great job!

@shuchengchao 2 года назад

Just loving Earl's commentating. As one of the goats of pool, he is confident enough to call all the shots (usually right on point but even when they are different from what the players did, Earl is not shy of holding his ground).

Haha. Even announcing he can't stop from crying about not getting a decent roll.

@AlexZander688 Год назад

Haha. "I had a lot of problems with the front office." Not surprised there. An a-hole when playing, an a-hole when dealing with the 'Front Office' about commentating pool. Earl 'the angry Pearl' will never change. Funny guy and an a-hole at the same time. That A-hole arrogance is what made him such a strong player.

@elmerwilliamson1970 2 года назад

Earl your the best commentator I’ve ever heard! I can understand what the pros are going to shoot from your input! Earl’s right about how slow Gorst plays. All tournaments should have a 30” clock!

@myblacklab7 2 года назад

20 seconds. Maybe 40 seconds for the first shot. Even 20 seems too much. I'd prefer 15. 9 ball is too simple to take so long.

@yucode7356 2 года назад

In fairness, to Earl 99.99% of pro players are slow. Being slow is not illegal, it took patience out of your opponent

@myblacklab7 2 года назад

@@yucode7356 I think you're correct, but it also wears down the patience of the audience, assuming they even have one. I think Earl is correct that slow play is one of the things that has made pool so unpopular as a spectator sport. I understand pauses in certain situations, and sometimes the pauses increase the drama a bit, or give us a chance to think about the layout, but the snail's pace players are unwatchable.

@rogerscottcathey 4 месяца назад

Earl does the best commentary and it's educational. Earl and Scott Frost are both great.

@financialplanning7 Год назад

These two young men are extraordinary, not only for their amazing skill and composure at the young age of 22 but also because of their character. Zielinski seemed both embarrassed and feeling a little bad about how he won the match which goes to his character and then, in one of the nicest moments I've seen in sports, Fedor gets up from his chair smiling and goes over and consoles Zielinski by patting him on the head - how amazing is this kid!

@mikehenderson4327 Год назад

@chili015 2 года назад

The problem isn't that Gorst plays slow, it's that there's no shot clock in this tournament. Gorst is a former world champion and has been winning a lot recently in other tournaments that utilize a shot clock, so he CAN play fast with the same success, but if he doesn't have to, why would he? All pro tournaments should have a shot clock for rotation games.

@s98715 2 года назад

the world championship that gorst won didn't have a shot clock. lol the final is a race to 13 that takes over 4 hours.

@chili015 2 года назад

@@s98715 - I'm aware. I didn't say his world championship had a shot clock. I said he's a former world champion (meaning he's a world elite player) and he's been winning tournaments recently that have shot clocks, so he obviously can play fast if need be.

@Girthquake98 2 года назад

@@chili015 so it wasn’t relevant mentioning his world title then, was it?

@chili015 2 года назад

@@Girthquake98 - It was because lots of guys win regular events with shot clocks, not many guys win world titles, too. To specifically point out that Gorst is a "boring" player in these events that don't have a clock is misleading to the fact he can win world titles with no shot clock, he can win events with shot clocks... it doesn't matter. Some guys can't do that. That's why it's relevant.

@Krushard Год назад

Earl is just pissed when players want to get perfect on every shot and not just shoot in the approximate vicinity and then trying to shoot yourself out of the crappy position.

34:16 Can someone explain why hitting right side spinning for this shot? Cuz when I add inside/outside spin, I normally offset in a similar way, I aim a bit thicker. So how does right side spin in this scenario help with creating more angle for the cue ball to come back? Also isn't right side spin gonna reduce the momentum of cue ball once touch the rail in this shot?

@Krushard Год назад

Got surprised here as well, would never even think of inside spin on this shot. Need to try it myself.

@5153flash 2 года назад

Us amateurs leave long hard shots that seem easy because they are straight in. But these shots are something the Pros do not like at all. After we mis these shots our confidence goes down and it snowballs from there. For no good reason,,lol.

@joulupukki1607 2 года назад

True but long shots are pretty easy when straight if the ball is not near the cushion. And i dont mean they easy easy i just mean u can get rly good at knocking those long shots but when u close to cushion its rly hard and even potting machines like filler and shaw plays safe on those shot
