Those guys r awesome 😀

[@Mickster114]

Thorstens best year in the past 6 years was in 2013 for $92,000??? And thats a player of his caliber. That’s insane

[@jarvislaw7213]

I grew up watching pool 🎱

Pool is one of my favorite sports n the world 🌎

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

If Joshua Filler is my idol in 9-ball, then Shane Van Boening is my idol in 10-ball! I enjoyed watching both of them! 😍

[@jarvislaw7213]

They r some good players 😄

[@intercrew99]

At 1:16:10, did Shane mean to safety? That was a pretty easy shot (for me - not to say I'm a good shot but for me that's one of those weird shots I can hit regularly but can't hit long straight shots). Was 90% certain he was going to make it

[@redoxred5588]

Will Ham He was definitely aiming to make it. For a safe hit, he would aim much fuller in order to bank the 10 to the opposite rail and perhaps leave the cue ball on a side rail. A thin shot with some speed like that shows that Shane was trying to make it, but did not necessarily wanted to sell the round out too badly if he missed. If he shot softly, the 10 could potentially be a pocket hanger. Shane just simply over cut the 10.

SVB🖤🔥

What does SVB stand for 😃

[@javier90gonzalez87]

What size table is this anybody knows

[@tylorlee7300]

9 foot table

[@jarvislaw7213]

I do not know 😀

[@hellyeah2299]

What could the future of pool be? It's not a sport that the general public enjoys watching. I've been told that only a handful of elite players actually make any decent money playing pool. Looks like a declining situation to me.

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

The color scheme on the Cyclop balls really sucks

[@p8ntballer322]

Cyclop produces standard color sets too. It's probably up to CSI what set/color they play with. My guess is this color set is favored because the brighter colors reflect more light making it easier to see the edges of the balls from long distances. However I'm slightly near sighted, so a bit biased.

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

@@p8ntballer322 thanks Nathan my biggest frustration with this color scheme is watching it on my phone I'm unable to distinguish some of the balls and then I'm curious about the pattern they use to run out the rack. I've only seen two balls through online coverage so I imagine they are more distinct in person

[@waseemcurry7062]

beef on weck eastside It's supposed to be so they stand out on screen, otherwise the maroon balls look black if the quality is too low, or if the table is bright, it could look red on some screens. Same with the green, it can be too dark.

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

@@waseemcurry7062 thanks for that information what I did is I went and put the KZbin on my laptop instead of watching it on my phone and it's clearer as far as what the balls are

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

I know right? I prefer the standard colors! 😭

[@kriskringle6173]

SVB is a little boring to watch cause hes so perfect. But that's my goal.,to be so good im boring to watch.. Like a robot.. I am getting there. Running out on big table about half the time. Not nearly as pretty as bar box but..like I said. .

[@packfannumber1]

Cute little slop safe their in the last game by Shane. Sucks if your Thorsten but 🤷‍♂️, that's pool for yuh.

[@jessewilliamson7228]

Bobby sounds jealous of Shane....And is full of himself....

Freddie is so bad at commentating... I wish we had someone who actually understands pool physics commentating with George

[@billwillis4402]

it's funny - Freddie doesn't bother me but I can't STAND George. He talks too much and he says stupid things. He babbles!

[@charlesfair1582]

Flint I. am with Bill Willis. George is the worst ( ! ) commentator ever !! Put him together with Freddy and we have the Worst commentated match I have ever seen. Sorry to be so negative, SVB and Toasty,while not at their best,were still WORLD CLASS !
