When Earl is in full swing like this, he is by far my favorite player to watch. Quick, accurate, and exciting

[@chikoyla]

After Efren my favorite player is The Pearl. The dudes got the complete arsenal. More power Mr strickland, and awesome commentator too

[@dt9127]

yeah he's so entertaining as well

[@Rick-ro8bf]

Every once in a while I hear a predator inhale or exhale.

[@omarmatin1052]

Amazing collection. Earl the Pearl is a delight to watch. One of the top 5 of all time in my opinion.

[@kerrmoney]

Earl for president!!! Thanks accu-stats, as always, you’re the best!!!!

[@AccuStats]

Thank you, thank you.

[@gideonf8696]

When Earl is in good form and good spirits, it would be great if the commentators could be quiet when Earl is talking - we are being deprived of some of the best parts of the match!

[@Fatboypool]

Always great to watch earl

[@edgerat]

the snorting in the mic is no fun, love to see The Pearl at full speed and on cruise control though!!!

[@GolfAfter50]

Earl was really pocketing well during the mid 2010s. However even he would fully admit he was having trouble figuring out the 10 ball break. Welp, looks like he figured it out! lol -- Thanks as always, Pat!

[@AccuStats]

You're welcome.

[@Raceto9]

I genuinely thought there was someone having a nap next to the commentators. Good match tho :D

[@mikea5205]

Damn Earl is hard to beat when he's like this.

[@winterguitarkingyea]

Thank You, Pat. The Pearl was on Fire, Lollllll a Happy Camper was he, Lollllllllllll.

[@AccuStats]

Yes it was!

[@easer777]

Best pool commentaries ever....

[@Keefer-mq7gx]

Thanks for that one guys.

[@AccuStats]

Our pleasure!

1st comment, very good quality video as always..

[@AccuStats]

Thank you.

[@JoeDubs432]

19:25 WTF. WOW what a weird shot. I am guessing that cloth is brand new.

[@believer4445]

Earl is the best hands down

[@mikeamis6179]

"Pearl" still, got game and style. Like Dale Earnhardt, U R the "Intimidator" on pool table

[@anotherOneMore7]

I love kids but... why during a pro tournament are they allowing a child to have a crying screaming fit in the background... as they play what sounds like a loud air hockey game... ?...

[@commandernoodles2367]

What is it that The Pearl is wearing? What is that for?

[@paintballer1538]

Danny always thinks he’s correct on what the player is going to do. Even when he’s wrong he acts like he’s right. Also he’s just the most annoying person to listen commentate. There’s a reason pool doesn’t have a lot of new interest. The commentators suck! Jeremy Jones is probably my favorite and now that earl is doing recaps it’s interesting again.

[@13_islander]

Who won this tournament?

[@buddyfoxhound2426]

Asking for a friend why does Earl have his entire left arm wrapped?

[@gideonf8696]

It's not a wrap - it is a whole bunch of arm weights (like they make for exercise). Earl thinks it helps him to keep his bridge arm down/quiet. Given how well he shoots, who am I to argue?

[@buddyfoxhound2426]

@@gideonf8696 yep got that right! Thanks for the info had been watching the charity tournament’s and few others.

[@Raceto9]

19:32 honestly, who would have played that shot that way??!?! :o

[@ruskyhrahsel7723]

What kind of English did he use?

[@Raceto9]

@rusky hrahsel I'm not sure to be honest ... looking at it in slow mo' I'd say it could be just low, no side... I would have just gone 2 cushions back to where the cue ball was to play the 10 ball in the top left corner, but I guess that's why I'm at home making videos and he is a world champ' 😂

[@MrJdsenior]

Darren Appleton, apparently. Pros really like having the cue traveling as close to up the shot line as they can get on final approach, and he managed that perfectly. It would be ridiculous for ANYONE to try something like that, unless they know they can do it at a very high percentage, as he obviously did, and he executed it perfectly. It sid look like more of an exhibition type shot, though, I will give you that. Not one I would have EVER thought of. ;-/

[@13_islander]

Earl got more international titles than Efren .. facts

[@peterstewart6186]

Can some one explain why Earl Strickland plays with 18lbs of weight on his arm?

[@nickturner2813]

17:48 I thought 10-ball was a call shot game, how come Appleton continued his innings?

[@brendanvu1983]

There a certain tournaments that play 10 ball like 9 ball rules.

[@Rahka82]

In this tournament you don't need to call a shot when you hit rail first.

[@Letitgoguys]

Pro looks newbie if you compare them to EARL

[@bob733333]

People constantly whining about the commentators is old. Same for fawning over them.

[@mohammadalajmi2922]

Danny needs Billy or Wych to do the commentary, this guy with danny has zero talent to do any commentary at all. He made the match boring by his sleepy voice. Most of us would like to hear some analyse for some situations but not for the whole match, we would like to hear some stories or any other subject to make the match more entertaining. So please accu it's Danny, Billy or jimmy no body else.

[@Turborekker]

Darren Appleton is his own worst opponent a lot of the time, he unfortunately only has himself to blame. He made a lot of basic errors which you can't afford to make against a player of Earl's calibre.

[@gino2033]

What happened to Darell lol every one got to see how rotten a pool shot Earl was tonight huh idiots? Well this is why I still hold Earl the greatest of all time G.O.A.T Reyes close 2d every one else a bit back seated 3rd n down the ladder.

[@kerrmoney]

Definitely the G.O.A.T. !!!

[@bgjb-r1499]

During the 80’s & 90’s Earl Strickland was dam near impossible to beat. When you look at Earl’s resume as it pertains to 9-ball no one is close and that includes Efren.
