[@alexespinoza7096]

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 KZbin 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. 🐐

[@CrystalKyd]

These commentators need more credit man

[@arenaissanceishman6689]

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.

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👍

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 !

[@vicluevano1222]

I'm sure he had the time of his life playing one of the best players in the planet he knew even though he had a good start a good lead he wasn't going to win the event because he's playing one of the best players that pretty much doesn't let you shoot most of the time cuz he's so methodical and knows what he's doing with the cue ball in which I'm referring to shame but Rory had a hell of a start Shane had a bit of a rough start on his own term but I'm happy that Rory play his absolute best against the number one in the country

[@flupox1]

Best camera work I've seen

[@Zenthex]

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.

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.

Pool is a amazing game to play. Especially with friends while you talk about things. But it’s really boring to watch. Unless you know the people playing and know their drama with each other.
